Twenty Years of the World Wide Web | March 31, 2009
What’s the score,? Twenty years of the World Wide Web, The Economist, March 14th, 2009, at 83.
The web is such an integral part of our lives that it seems to have been around forever. However, it’s only been since 1989 that computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee published his ground breaking document, Information Management: a Proposal. His proposal, “modestly dubbed the World Wide Web” was suggested as a way CERN researchers might better manage their research projects. (Berners-Lee is now at MIT where he runs the World Wide Web Consortium.) Although scientists were on the forefront of advancing their research via the web, they tend not to use social networking tools for scientific publishing. The Economist article discusses reasons for such reluctance, as well as incentives for more open source collaboration: reliable measuring tools.
Andy D found a link to Berners-Lee original paper, Information Management: a Proposal. Check out the cool graphic/map on page two!

OhioLINK resources offline 12-1 | February 10, 2009
February 10, 2009
All OhioLINK Resources Will Be Unavailable From 12-1 PM
All OhioLINK resources, except for the OhioLINK Library Catalog, will go offline at noon. The OhioLINK Web site will also be down during this period. Resources will come back online in stages, and we estimate that it may take up to an hour for all resources to come back up.
We apologize for the inconvenience and the late notice of this outage, but it is necessary to fix the cause of the massive hardware failure that took place on February 4. This outage won’t address the EJC, that is a separate problem which we continue to work diligently on.

Just in Case: (You Wanted to Know): Will Casebooks Ever Be Available as e-Books? | September 26, 2008
Interesting development: Amanda Bronstad, Eyeing 'e-Books' for Future Law Students: Electronic Casebooks Discussed; Copyright, Piracy Issues a Concern. National Law Journal, September 22, 2008
Seems that publishers would like to see used on Kindle or Sony devices rather than computers due to copyright concerns. But is a Kindle sophisticated enough? The article points out you cannot highlight text on Kindle. How many law students already own such devices? Are law students willing to use e-casebooks? Just throwing the questions out there. I am sure others can come up with even more questions.
Hope the workshop will be sharing its information.
Thanks to Library Stuff for pointing out this development.
