Lunch was looming large. So, there were a few things I forgot to say at the Palinet symposium. Specifically, topics I try to follow outside of the future of cataloging debate ("try" being the operative word). Thought you might find them helpful:
- Future of libraries
- Copyright
- E-books
- Mass digitization of books
- User's research behavior
- Scholarly communication
- Digital preservation (this is one my reading wish list, haven't gotten started yet :)
IMHO we don't focus enough on how the future of libraries is inextricably tied to the future of cataloging. It's a point that often seems left out. All these topics are really related to the future of libraries in general.
So, looking at the future of libraries, texts, reading, and readers is a little side hobby.
