Why do libraries have catalogs? If you work in libraries the answer seems obvious: we have catalogs because our patrons...
Library catalogs go back over a thousand years as a way to help people find things in order to learn things. The Web emerged a quarter century ago and has completely revolutionized how people find things in order to learn things (sometimes nonsensical things). The Web is an eye-blink against the long lifetime of libraries at the center of knowledge, but libraries are finally coming into their place on the Web, and I’m delighted to be part of the project making it so.
Here’s a nice, clear, non-technical article from the Colorado State Library discussing this ongoing work, with help from our strong partner at the Denver Public Library, Rachel Fewell. Denver will be hosting the Public Library Association conference in a week, and we look forward to furthering the cause.
My public library has Connor's book and they just published their database records in linked data format. http://labs.libhub.org/anythink/resource/gXpXgBbP/ http://www.libhub.org This is kind of a big deal.

Here are five things:
I usually don’t post brand-specific DAM case studies, but this one from Picturepark about SWA Landscape Architects is honest and informative.
John Horodyski writes about one of his favorite subjects – metadata!
Wow – BIBFRAME explained at last…
This sounds cool for special collections folks – cataloging hidden collections.
Card sorting for beginners.
