I forwarded your creative visualization of a lack of foundational concern to my buddies.<BR/>Response to this has been delighting. Also, I found thro' a buddy a similar concern in LJ's most recent issue: <A HREF="http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6440566.html&" REL="nofollow">Brave New World Wide Web</A><BR/>Stay connected and pl correspond: mt2222 @ yahoo dot comM Taherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230356608624560148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14910575.post-4442863345527161442007-05-28T11:24:00.000-04:002007-05-28T11:24:00.000-04:00I would be pleased to draw your attention to two ...I would be pleased to draw your attention to two of my write-ups about "semantic web and facet analysis". In the first one I have questioned one compiler of a bibliography as well as questioned the kidnapping of Library Science ideas and re-namimg by Web experts. In the second one, again I have tried to inform how the Library professions' work could be followed by the web experts (with proper acknowledgement of course). Please check the first two links in: <BR/>http://www.geocities.com/devadason.geo/<BR/><BR/>Enjoy.<BR/><BR/>F.J.

What could have been a reflection on how power and social structure limits librarians instead read more like a piece of self-promotion. A far better analysis of librarians is “Collaboration between theory and evidence-based practice : librarians and professors" http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla66/papers/053-99e.htm<BR/><BR/>The blog Library boy http://micheladrien.blogspot.com/ has a good discussion and good links to interesting blogs. Walk Crawford points out that it is easier for tenured librarians to disagree. Since many law librarians work for law firms and government agencies, they must be circumspect. I have to say that the academic fad for quoting Bourdieu and Foucault amuses me. I would like to see some quotes of Deutscher and E.P. Thompson. Explain that to a academic review committee. <BR/><BR/>I have been surprised to not see any librarian discussion on the recent Harpers article on digital librarians. The poor SF librarians are rightfully described as resentful of being turned into computer technicians. What library school academic has studied their situation? What an interesting study that would be of the push to the digital library and the loss of professional standing. <BR/><BR/>IF memory serves me right, I have read some pretty nasty posts in library blogs. A lot of whining, but no criticism of power, system or structure. Where is the librarian possessed of the qualities of Auftragstaktik?<BR/>http://www.ducimus.com/Archive/auftrags-oleary.htmJacqueline Cantwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527072453911775987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14910575.post-66159171737235048832007-05-01T09:40:00.000-04:002007-05-01T09:40:00.000-04:00Gee, Marie!
