Two interesting bibliography wikis, both published under the same creative commons license:
Sunir Shah’s Design Bibliography is an excellent HCI and systems design bibliography. It imports and exports BibTeX entries through a very cool structured data editing interface.
CPSquare’s cofpractice-biblio wiki is a mostly empty first pass on communities of practice stuff.
I’m at Library Camp today, where the emerging themes seem to be “so what?” and “now what?” regarding libraries being pushed onto the living web — it’s an interesting conversation, but I’m mostly read-only, on the periphery. Session notes and so forth are appearing:
As a followup to the card catalog graffiti post, I noticed tonight that District Library patrons can now choose to assemble and share their own personal card catalogs — take a look at mine.
If you click through the thumbnail-sized cards, you can see the full record and any graffiti.
This beats the pants off of making a damn fool Amazon wishlist.
This is an item from the Ann Arbor District Library’s online catalog:
You can look up results in a cool card catalog view, and then add your own witty commentary to the cards. I remember annotating the card catalog in my high school library — War NOR Peace kind of stuff — making this a welcome and non-destructive bit of nostalgia.
