The actions brought by the plaintiffs were under U.S. copyright law, so I'm not really surprised that the settlement only covers U.S. organizations.

Google has been approaching publisher and author associations in other countries about signing on to the agreement.

If your German is up to it, see http://www.pcwelt.de/start/dsl_voip/online/news/186677/profitieren_deutsche_verlage_vom_google_vergleich/index.html The focus is really on including other publishers in the US version of GBS rather than on extending the new GBS to other countries. The latter would of course be much more complicated because of the national differences in the concept of copyright. Still, it's a potential opening. - Jim Campbell -----Original Message----- From: web4lib-bounces@...

Colleagues/ I'm pleased to announce that a corrected/revised/expanded version of my pre-conference workshop presentation for _Internet Librarian_ 2008 is now available _Not Just Facebook: Online Social Networks For Libraries_ ABSTRACT While Bebo, Facebook, hi5, MySpace, and Orkut are among the better-known general online social networks, there is an ever-increasing number of online networks that have emerged for and within a wide variety of communities. Among many others, these include networks for academe and education (e.g., EduSpaces), people of color (e.g., Black Planet), Boomers (e.g., Boomj), business (e.g., Linked-In), LGBT groups (e.g., OUTeverywhere), religion (e.g., MyChurch), and researchers and scholars (e.g., Nature Network). This workshop provides an overview of the more significant niche online social networks, reviews their common and unique features and functionalities, and considers the potential opportunities for wider engaged library outreach to these communities.

Hello, I know this is a topic which has been visited lo these many times, but I am now in a new phase of having to deal with it and would appreciate any suggestions - particularly of any new products that may have come out recently but escaped my attention. Facing a severe space crunch, and unable to issue a planned referendum for building expansion funds due to the economic meltdown, we are planning some radical re-arrangement and re-alignment of furniture, equipment and services. These actions will push a lot of computer equipment further out into previously public areas, and cables will be at their finest in providing both aesthetic and physical burdens on staff and patrons alike. Any success stories, good products (or bad products to avoid) - all input gratefully received. TIA, Cheers, Robin Robin Boulton IT Manager St. Charles Public Library District St. Charles, IL 60174 (630) 584 0076 x 258 Cell:(630) 918 8738(Continue reading)
Hi Bill, Definitely not servers! :~) Mostly, additional workstations (some possibly with flat-bed scanners attached); printers, micro-fiche readers. Some will have to move out of the obscure corners they have been in (with cables hidden out of sight) and will be visible. Some may front on corridors where staff/patrons need to walk... thus a possible tripping hazard. All in all, it's just the usual detritus of Ethernet/power/monitor/printer/keyboard/mouse... we'd just like to be able to pretend it's not there. ________________________________ From: Systems Librarianship [mailto:SYSLIB-L@...] On Behalf Of Bill Hudson Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 11:19 AM To: SYSLIB-L@...

I am conducting another round of the library automation perceptions survey. Last year's survey was the basis for "Perceptions 2007: an international survey of library automation:" http://www.librarytechnology.org/perceptions2007.pl The data collected through this year's survey will inform a similar report that provides the statistical results and interprets to the extent possible what it says about the current library automation arena. The survey aims to measure how libraries perceive their current library automation system, the companies involved in their support and development, and to gauge interest in open source alternatives. As more libraries become involved with open source ILS products, I'm especially interested in measuring their satisfaction relative to those that use traditionally licensed systems. Last year I received 1,779 survey responses. An even larger volume of responses this year will help increase the validity of the survey and result in a stronger report regarding the state of the industry. I think that all of us have an interest in gaining a better understanding of what libraries think about their current automation situation as we think about effective strategies going forward. Please take a few minutes to respond to the survey. The following link provides more information about the survey and is the easiest way to get to the survey response form: http://www.librarytechnology.org/blog.pl?ThreadID=91 If you responded last year, I'm still very much interested in having you respond this time also. Comparing the results of the two years might reveal interesting shifts in perceptions. Thanks for participating. -marshall ------------------------------------------------ Marshall Breeding(Continue reading)
