Re: Five unexpected benefits to eliminating library fines

M Belvadi — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 08:43:59 -0000

This article shouldn't have used the word "unexpected" in the title, given that these are all the standard reasons we've been hearing for years for eliminating fines. This is a good summary of the argument, but I was disappointed that there was nothing "unexpected" in it.

Just got a call from a man upset that I was sending nude pictures from this site. I don't have an account. So I just tried to sign up and my phone number is taken on snap chat. How do I contact snap chat?

Re: Should Videogames be in Libraries?

sj4iy — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 03:53:38 -0000

Our public library system loans out video games for three weeks. If people are willing to be patient with the waiting list, it's a great way to play games for free...especially in a city where there are a lot of kids in need.

Re: 45 More Non-Librarian Jobs for MLIS Grads

Sarah Bratt — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 11:04:59 -0000

Absolutely! Thinking broadly about what a library is - an information consultancy profession, a design profession, a precision-medicine for the disease of information overload -- these are the kinds of improvements and future of librarianship developments that PhD research studies can address. Working in a research lab or with librarians doing research is a great first step. I like the book "The Professor is In" to get a picture of what academia requires so you know what you are getting into!

Re: QR Codes: A Technology Without a User Base?

Adam — Sun, 07 Jul 2019 10:57:26 -0000

Fast forward to 2019, and they've *finally* solved the problem of bothersome QR scanner apps. I got an over the air update to my Galaxy S10 that moved the QR scanner functionality from the Bixby Vision app to the main camera. Launch the camera (which can be done with a double click of the power button) point the phone vaguely at the code and you're there. That innovation came about 4 years too late for QR codes to be a viable standard in information dispersal.

Hi Poorvi, Congratulations and all the very best on your internship. Sounds very interesting! I'm also pursuing my masters in applied data science and would like to know how you came across and applied for this internship. Also, any suggestions on interview prep and resume creation would be great too! Thanks.

Re: Why HTML is Not a Programming Language

Dude, all that you see in that site is javascript. Disable javascript and see how it is useless. Then, the credit for that is not HTML, but Javascript.

Re: Why HTML is Not a Programming Language

Alexandro Ramos Rodríguez — Wed, 12 Jun 2019 20:37:25 -0000

HTML declares the format of web pages. However, I'm concerned the "programming" part, due it doesn't accomplish the Turing machine rules, then, it cannot compute anything.
Is the instruction "this is a table" at the same level than a for loop? because I agree that HTML says something to the computer, however it lacks of relevance.
I rather include LaTeX as programming language, as you can do conditions and loops, something impossible with HTML.

Librarians, you're job is to be the caretakers of historical records, not the creators or editors.

Re: Libraries and Librarians in the Movies

Danielle Masursky — Mon, 15 Apr 2019 17:10:24 -0000

Nice list! Thank you so much. You must think about adding a post script for After Words with Marcia Gay Harden - a rare romance with a librarian as the main character. Also Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington, wherein books (and ultimately a library) are the most coveted objects in a dystopian America.

Re: Is a Master’s Degree in Library Science a Poor Investment? A Counter Perspective to Forbes Magazine

Jason Marchi — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 16:36:53 -0000

Every librarian I know has stated that the Masters in Library Science is nonsense -- it's a money making venture for the colleges. Everything you need to learn to work well in a library can be taught on-the-job in about two or three weeks, so library directors have told me -- like a practical certificate program. It's an "old boy's" network that supports the non-sequitur belief that "I had to go get my masters so you will TOO if you want to work in a library." An English degree from an accredited university should fully qualify a person to be a librarian in MOST instances. If you want to be a director of a library, then a Master's might be warranted.

Re: Why HTML is Not a Programming Language

Alex Shaikh — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 12:40:12 -0000

All the arguments on side. Let's make it simple, HTML, as a markup language doesn't really “do” anything in the sense that a programming language does. HTML contains no programming logic. PERIOD
