76 Silverman, Randall H.Connoisseurship of nineteenth and early twentieth century publishers' bookbindingsThe vast majority of historically significant nineteenth- and early-twentieth century publishers' bookbindings reside in the general collections of research libraries. In no way does this minimize the importance of this material historically nor the library's professional obligation to guarantee its...Publishers and publishing; Book Repair Practices2000
77 Silverman, Randall H.Jackets recommended: the case for preserving dust jackets in research librariesThis paper will provide a historical overview of dust jackets and present a cost-effective mass approach to their treatment. Research libraries generally treat dust jackets as extraneous to the physical integrity of new acquisitions and consequently discard them as part of the shelf preparation p...2000
78 Landesman, Margaret M.Consortia vs reform: creating congruenceThe inability of research libraries to offer the collections their users desire has become more pronounced each year. In response, libraries have moved in two directions: the rapidly growing consortial movement and the movement to advocate and support reforms in scholarly communication. However, if ...2000
79 Landesman, Margaret M.Millenium minutes (comment)In 1969, I left grad school and a job at the Stanford Library and followed my almost-husband to the University of Utah, where I became Head of the Library of Congress Card Order Section, a "Sub-professional." (The more sensitive librarians referred to us as "Para-professionals.") As at Stanford, we ...Librarianship; Librarians2000-12
80 Ogburn, Joyce L.Millennium minutes: a look back at licensingThe seemingly ubiquitous license agreement has a longer history than our readers might imagine or remember. It has roots deep in contract law, and also has copyright, patent, and trademark parentage. Librarians tend to think of licenses in terms of databases and fulltext e-journals, however, it sta...Digital; Contracts; Licensing; Libraries2001
81 Anderson, Richard BryanAcquisitions in a wired world: where are we going?This is a frightening time to be a thirty-something acquisitions librarian. Convention dictates that I follow up that statement by saying that this is also a very exciting time to be a thirty-something acquisitions librarian, but I'll tell you what: it's mainly just scary. I worry a lot about wha...Libraries; Acquisitions; Librarians; Future; Electronic libraries2001
82 Landesman, Margaret M.Sense and sensibilitySense and Sensibility column: "Some publishers produce superior products at low prices. Some produce mediocre products at low prices. And some produce superior products at high prices. And so forth. It has always been this way as far as I know. So why is it that librarians of late seem to leap from ...Acquisitions; Vendors; Publishers; Publisher packages2001-04

84 Landesman, Margaret M.Multi-volume reference sets-have they a futureFor the past few years, I've felt badly about the sales representatives from major microform publishers who come to visit hoping to sell microform collections to the library. It seems a cruel thing for a publisher to do - to send a representative out in this day and budget to pitch microfilm to libr...Libraries; Collection development; Reference resources2001-11
85 Kraus, Peter L.Simon Winchester, Map that changed the worldThe author, noted writer Simon Winchester (who graduated with a Geology degree from Oxford University), makes no secret of the fact that this text is an unabashed tribute to his hero, William Smith, a nineteenth century surveyor and canal digger whose passionate hobby was geology. In the course of S...2002

91 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion)--LJ and the NRA: separated at birth? Or, knee-jerk politics makes strange bedfellowsI'm a regular reader of Slate, the online news and commentary magazine. 1 know it's part of the Microsoft Military-Industrial Complex, but Slate offers enough witty and insightful writing that I'm usually able to put aside my reflexive aversion to all things Microsoft for a few moments each morning ...Elitists, Extremists, Captured2002
92 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion) -- The book is dead and it's a good thing, tooAs a group, we librarians are certainly not unique in our ability to deny the obvious. But sometimes I think that we take that ability to a unique extreme. It is obvious, for example, that as a research tool for all but a very few academic disciplines, the print monograph is dead.Librarian; Academic; Libraries2002

96 Kraus, Peter L.John Steele Gordon, Thread across the ocean: the historic story of the transatlantic cableA Thread across the Ocean is a tale of historic and heroic proportions which the author fails to do justice to. The topic is the historic laying of the first telegraph cables across the Atlantic; however, though it is an enjoyable read, it is not a scholarly work. The depth of this work could have ...2003
97 Landesman, Margaret M.ATG Interview with Victoria Reich, Director (and founder) of the LOCKSS programAs Vicky and I talked, we discussed her various activities in more or less chronological order. Later on, Vicky said of the work we'd been discussing, "but that's not my true love of the moment." There's not much to say to that, except to ask: ATG: And what is your true love of the moment?

98 Ogburn, Joyce L.Acquiring minds want to know: digital scholarshipA new form of scholarship has emerged in recent years named "digital scholarship." I have seen it defined as online publishing or digitized material presented online, or, in other words, scholarship that appears in a digital form. However, a more compelling definition treats it as scholarship that d...Born digital; Libraries; Electronic publishing2003
