Reading Notes for 11/15
Digital Libraries
First off, I agree that Google Scholar is the competition of institutional repositories. Using Google anything is easier than searching university's databases. You can type searches using natural language and normally get relevant information back. Thank you Google, keep up the good work! Maybe if we could capture a Google employee and hold him/her hostage, they can give us some ideas about improving searching for more effective results.
(Disclaimer: I do not condone kidnapping.)
Dewey Meets Turing
This article was clearly written by a librarian; it used such gems as strutting computer scientists and naive computing partners. However, the article was an interesting look at the two sides of the Digital Libraries Initiative. I especially enjoyed the section concerning the conceptions and misconceptions. I agree that opportunites are arising for librarians and authors to connect.
Association of Research Libraries
This was a very interesting article; and probably could have useful to people in LIS2000 writing the first paper. I really enjoyed the finals thoughts in the article discussing the author's views on potential areas of counterproductivity. One possible problem is people wishing to change scholarly communication and trying to use IRs to this; since they may place constraints on the IR's services. This may take away from insitutional repositories primary point.

Muddiest Point for 11/1
Do you have to create the text for a website using a note pad instead of Microsoft Word? Or is it a preference?
