Just a reminder that the library camp is tomorrow, Thursday March 20th. More information is on libsuccess.org:
The next Library Camp will be held Thursday, March 20th, 2008, at the Downtown Branch of the Ann Arbor District Library, from 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM.
The goal is to get a bunch of people together, and let them […]
I’m still digesting all the discussions and information from code4lib but I remembered a conversation I eavesdropped on. Casey reminded me it was between him and Adam Brin of Tri-College. The gist was that they had put a “txt this record to me” feature onto the catalog, without any real demand, which then took off […]
As you’ve probably read elsewhere Google finally released a way to get book availability on Google Books. It’s a fairly simple web service where you hand it an identifier and it gives back whether the book is on Google Books and how much so (no view, partial view, full view) along with cover images. AADL […]
I’ve been on and off twitter quite a few times. It never really caught on with me. I commute between two different cities and most of my contacts are elsewhere in the world. The majority of the ones I meet up with aren’t on the site nor are technology inclined. I do see the usefulness […]
As previously posted there will be a Library Camp here at AADL on March 20, 2008. More information has been posted to libsuccess.org.
Library Camp doesn’t mean burned marshmallows, mosquito bites, or popsicle stick-based art projects. Library Camp is a series of informal Unconference gatherings to share ideas, technologies, and discussions.
The next Library Camp will be […]

Pattie Baker, publisher of FoodShed Planet (www.foodshedplanet.com) announces the FoodShed Planet Victory Garden Drive, with a goal of inspiring the creation of two million […]
Almost everyone has probably read about Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo. I stopped using Yahoo products long ago, but started up again once they bought ones I used like Upcoming and Flickr.
Another Yahoo product I’ve looked into is Zimbra, a partially open-source collaboration suite which has taken off in recent years. It offers a replacement to […]
A nice discussion about the Kindle and loaning in libraries over at Tinfoil+Raccoon. There’s some debate and confusion on what the TOC means:
When I asked for a definite answer, he verified that libraries who loaned the Kindle were violating the ToS.

While I still haven’t had time to play around with Amazon’s S3 and EC2, they’ve added yet another offering with SimpleDB.
Amazon SimpleDB makes it really easy and straightforward to store and to retrieve structured data. You no longer need to worry about creating, maintaining, or migrating database schemas, monitoring and tuning the performance of […]

From Ed:
We have space for about 100 people, up from the 40 or so that squeezed into the first Library Camp.
More info and sign ups in the near future.
We eat quite a bit of pork and since we’re both from farming backgrounds, figured we’d take a stab at growing some. Living in the city doesn’t really allow it (we’re trying to move where we could), but luckily some farmer friends grew some for us. They tend to grow rather quickly over the year, […]
Not needed in most cases but an interesting tool for some special ones. You can take advantage of browsers sending cookies with HTTP requests under a domain by using External Filters in Apache to modify the content based on those cookies. For example below we filter the requests for a specific location through a PHP […]
