March 6, 2009

I am reviving the weekly webliography in which I summarize in a single post the “dogeared items from the web” listed in the sidebar. Dogeared from the web, March 1-6, 2009:

Obama Questions Constitutionality of Copyright Fines. Okay, so this isn’t about copyright and libraries but I am very glad to see the Executive beginning to question the ridiculous structure of our current copyright laws. [via tgdaily.com]
Before and After: Barren Attic to Programmer’s Paradise. Again, I am invoking the commonplacing nature of this site and giving something completely unrelated to theological libraries. But who among us has no interest in reclaiming dead space to increase productivity? [via Lifehacker.com]
Compile Wikipedia Articles and Publish as a Book. This page shows you how to create a book from Wikipedia articles in three steps. Books can be created in PDF form or ordered for printing on the PediaPress website.
Zotero Library to RSS Feed and Anatomy of the Zotero Library to RSS Feed Pipe. A very cool development concerning the Zotero citation management plugin for Firefox. [via the Disruptive Library Technology Jester]
Twenty-nine reports about the future of academic libraries as compiled by John Dupuis, Head of the Steacie Science & Engineering Library at York University in Toronto. [HT: iLibrarian]

An interesting idea for a reference kiosk using Skype. [HT: Digital Reference]
Resisting the Kindle - The Atlantic (March 2, 2009) and In Defense of the Kindle - The Atlantic (March 5, 2009). Very good reading. I gave my two cents about these articles here.
