Buy or borrow

Lorcan Dempsey

I notice that Edinburgh University Library has a link to Blackwells Online Bookshop on their web site. This is a useful bibliographic retrieval system, which allows you to buy books. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were better integrated with the catalog, so that one could discover books through the same interface, and then go on to buy, borrow, or whatever, through a followon service?

Libraries and library studies

I wrote this piece on libraries and possible educational responses as part of a longer contribution on the informational disciplines and the iSchool. A principal goal was to suggest that libraries present interesting and challenging research and educational questions, which cross disciplines.
