Country collections

worldmap.pngCheck out the WorldMap where we have collected and presented a range of data about the country of publication of titles in the aggregate collection represented by WorldCat. We also show how the ARL aggregate collection breaks down by country of publication.
Alongside this data, we have also assembled more general statistics about libraries on a country by country basis and present them through the same framework.
There is a page providing some further detail which also has links to presentations about the map and how it was constructed.

So-called soft skills are hard

So-called soft skills are important across a range of library activities. Existing trends will further amplify this importance. Describing these skills as soft may be misleading, or even damaging. They should be recognized as learnable and teachable, and should be explicitly supported and rewarded.

The technology career ladder

Library leaders should be drawn from across the organization. Any idea that technology leaders are overly specialised or too distant from general library work is outmoded and counter-productive.
