Last month, I talked
about the concept of augmented reality (AR) in general, discussed how soon you should think about bringing it to your library, and gave a few working examples of its usefulness. This month, I’m going to cover some actual applications to help you bring augmented reality into production at your library.

On the one hand, we’re constantly hearing about information overload and how people are drowning in the constant flow of data. On the other hand, some of the most exciting developments are taking place in information delivery and adding even more information
to an individual’s view of the world. Is there any reason to think that tossing more information in front of someone might help him? There might be, if you’re talking about augmented reality. It’s a big topic. It probably deserves a little groundwork, so I’m going to try to cover it in a two-part series. This month, I’d like to give you some basic information about augmented reality and how it might be useful in libraries. Next month, I hope to cover some actual applications and methods for constructing an augmented reality application for your library or community.

For the most part, they are tools you can implement with little to no programming knowledge and, in some cases, without even needing access to your library web server.

Customizing Your Library's Facebook Page

They’re great for putting up hours and events and highlighting your collections, but unless you put in some special effort, every Facebook page looks more or less the same. If you’ve established who your audience is and you want to give them more of the things they like, you don’t have a ton of customization options in native Facebook functions. But undoubtedly, you’ve landed on a Facebook page—probably a commercial one—that has a completely different look to it.

An Account of Fahrenheit 451

by JC Brown

Written for the History of Books, Printing, and Publishing (LIS 7790) -- Wayne State University, School of Library and Information Science. Dedicated to the three Js: Jaema, Janet, and Jarod.

A brief biographical sketch of Bradbury provides readers with necessary background information that shows an early interest in the topics of book burning and censorship. Development of the novella is traced by way of a collection of short stories that later evolved into Fahrenheit 451 – most of which had not been published until recently. A summary of the publication history is laid out with the most recent being the work's release in e-book format much to Bradbury's consternation. The paper examines the historical happenings which were occurring at the time of the novella's publication which affected the overall interpretation of the work with consideration given to Bradbury's sentiments. An examination of the book's censorship history is explored.

At the Intersection of Dog and Library

by Paul Lai

Poster presented at the St. Catherine University Library and Information Science Program's Annual Summit, April 30, 2012, St. Paul, MN. Based on a paper written for the Introduction to Library and Information Science course in the program for Fall 2011.

Instead of understanding technology only as digital and machine-based, seeing dogs as technology emphasizes the instrumental quality of technology and focuses attention on what ends might be achieved in their use. In the case of dogs, librarians have begun to bring dogs into libraries for two major purposes—to encourage reading for young children and to offer stress relief for college students. Both of these purposes reflect a sense of community-building at the heart of librarianship. Furthermore, both reflect a trend towards thinking of librarianship as a broader practice of facilitating learning rather than as solely the practice of delivering services and access to collections.

Future Historians: Their Quest for Information

The general question framing the study was whether graduate students in history demonstrate the same information-seeking behavior as established scholars. Related questions explored the use of new technologies and the reliance that history graduate students place on reference librarians and librarians in special collections.

Il Library Linked Data Incubator Group e il futuro delle biblioteche

This report suggest libraries how they should made their data available in the web (and not just on the web), to make them available also directly by search engines. To comply with requirements the report, libraries should publish their data in a more expressive form, in which also values of relationships among data must be registered. The paper illustrates main features and requirements of library linked data, as described in the report and in relation to cataloguing topic, explains issues relating to the present format of library data and discuss the opportunities offered by RDA and REICAT, the two codes of rules published in compliant with FRBR. This report could result as important for the library community as FRBR has been till now.

Phases and Lssues In the Transition to ETDs

Four phases are identified in this process: exploration, experimentation, transition, and institutionalization. Other chapters in this volume address technical aspects of ETDs. Thus, recommendations are not made in this chapter regarding details of ETD submissions, file formats, and the like. Rather this chapter addresses the process of investigation and adoption of ETDs at a university and presents an itinerary of issues that are likely to arise along the way. We hope that this discussion will be useful to those beginning an exploration into ETDs as a possible medium for theses and dissertations.

Citation Proximity Analysis (CPA) – A new approach for identifying related work based on Co-Citation Analysis

by Joeran Beel

Bela Gipp and Joeran Beel. Citation Proximity Analysis (CPA) - A new approach for identifying related work based on Co-Citation Analysis. In Birger Larsen and Jacqueline Leta, editors, Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI’09), volume 2, pages 571–575, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), July 2009. International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics. ISSN 2175-1935. Downloaded from www.sciplore.org.

The approach called Citation Proximity Analysis (CPA) is a further development of co-citation analysis, but in addition, considers the proximity of citations to each other within an article’s full-text. The underlying idea is that the closer citations are to each other, the more likely it is that they are related. In comparison to existing approaches, such as bibliographic coupling, co-citation analysis or keyword based approaches the advantages of CPA are a higher precision and the possibility to identify related sections within documents. Moreover, CPA allows a more precise automatic document classification. CPA is used as the primary approach to analyse the similarity and to classify the 1.2 million publications contained in the research paper recommender system Scienstein.org.
