Presentation slides from Depository Library Council
I had a great time at last week's Fall 2008 Depository Library Council in Washington, D.C. (well actually Arlington, VA). Rebecca Blakeley and I had a good time live blogging DLC with a nice little free Web app called CoverItLive. It's awesome the GPO posted the proceedings and slides on fdlp.gov! I also started a space to upload presentation slides on slideshare, and have so far gotten 8 presenters to post their slides there. Slideshare is a public repository of presentations, so having everyone's slides up there would be a good way for the public to find them. DLC presentations on slideshare have been viewed from 35 to 227 times already, so if you were a presenter, I hope you'll consider uploading your slides to the dlcfall08 event. That is all. (I admit, I coopted that from John Hodgman, PC of those PC/Mac ads and guest blogger on boingboing. That's how John ended his posts, and I can only *hope* to be 1/100th as funny as him)
Live blogging DLC
Hi all. I just landed in Washington D.C. and gearing up for Depository Library Council meeting for the next three days. I'm trying out this new tool called CoverItLive that will allow me to live blog the conference (if you want to help, let me know and I'll add you as a panelist!!). Please check back here as the window below will *hopefully* be in real time. This also depends on wireless access. Check out the meeting agenda and leave me a comment if there's anything from which you really want a report. Wish me luck!
Spring 2008 DLC Materials Now Available
I wanted to write about this a few days ago, but have only found the time to do so now. The Government Printing Office (GPO) started releasing materials from the Spring 2008 Depository Library Conference even before the DLC meeting closed on April 2, 2008. You can find their materials at http://www.fdlp.gov/repository/dlc/spring08/index.html GPO deserves credit for being prompt for the initial release of DLC materials. It is a refreshing change from a few years ago when people who couldn't make meetings had to wait many weeks for materials to be made available. So thanks GPO! I hope to go through most of this material in the near future in more detail, but here are some items that seem like they are of special interest:
- Improved Access to EPA Information:Before and After with Web 2.0 by Brand Niemann (in 3 parts)
- Web 2.0 Power Point Presentation by Cindy Etkin of the U.S. Government Printing Office
- Back to the drawing board in Virtual and Real Worlds
- Web Harvesting Update for the Depository Library Council
- Web Scraping Government Information
FGI Podcast #2 – FGI Roundtable, LOCKSS, Profile America, Scary Guy
Show notes for FGI podcast #2 Note: We still have things to learn about podcasting. This time it is audio leveling. The sound does go up and down a bit but hopefully won't be too distracting. If you have tips about equalizing volume levels in Audacity, please send them our way in one of the comment options listed below: Today's 40 minute show had the following segments:
- FGI Roundtable - Jim A Jacobs, James R. Jacobs, Shinjoung Yeo and Daniel Cornwall discuss what led them to work with Free Government Information and what we see as the big issues facing the government information community.
- Elizabeth Cowell discusses the GPO LOCKSS pilot project at the Spring 2007 Depository Library Conference.
- Podcast Sampler - we take a quick listen to Profile America, a podcast from the US Census bureau intended to be played by broadcasters. Check out other government podcasts.
- Outro music - Scary Guy by Maria Daines used by permission. According to the story behind the song, this song was inspired by the global Scary Guy project. Continue reading
More LOCKSS slides from Spring 2007 Depository Library Council
Patricia Kenly from Georgia Tech has given us permission to post her powerpoint presentation describing Georgia Tech's LOCKSS program (PPT). I also added a link to it on our Spring '07 DLC page. While I wasn't at DLC, the information that I gleaned from Patricia's slides is that LOCKSS is relatively easy to administer, the hardware is cheap, LOCKSS has quickly become the library's primary strategy for digital preservation, and Georgia Tech is willing to share information with anyone. Thanks Patricia for the slides! Continue reading
