The New Physical Archive of the Internet Archive. By Brewster Kahle, June 2011 Press on this: NYtimes Books are being thrown away, or sometimes packed away, as digitized versions become more available. This is an important time to plan carefully for there is much at stake. Digital technologies are changing both how library materials are accessed and increasingly how library materials are preserved.

After the Internet Archive digitizes a book from a library in order to provide free public access to people world-wide, these books go back on the shelves of the library. We noticed an increasing number of books from these libraries moving books to “off site repositories” (1 2 3 4) to make space in central buildings for more meeting spaces and work spaces. Two of the corporations involved in major book scanning have sawed off the bindings of modern books to speed the digitizing process. There is also a connection between digitized collections and physical collections. The goal is to preserve one copy of every published work.

Self-Archiving vs. Open Archive vs. Archives (Fair-Use/Schmair-Use) Basic Competencies of a 2.0 Librarian, take 2. From the comments on my Basic Competencies of a 2.0 Librarian , I have a few more competencies to add to the list (thank you commenters!) : Create, edit, and upload screencasts Ability to do basic HTML editing – an understanding of (X)HTML and CSS. Here, I’m not wanting “web developer” skills – but someone who has enough of an understanding of HTML to be able to do basic edits, like add in the code to a Flickr image in a blog past, and then be able to edit that code enough to align the image properly. Etc… know how to pick up a new device (mp3 player, mobile phone, etc) and figure out how to use it So – adding these to my big list (and changing the wording on my list a bit), we have: write and post to a blog add photos and videos to a blog post embed a widget into blogs and social networking accounts (like Myspace) social network knowledge – basic understanding of Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc and the ability to explain them to others use IM in different forms send and read sms text messages.
