On librarians (which they seem to parse as history subject specialists in particular): “They don’t really understand my research. I’m not sure how helpful they would be to me, because they don’t specialize enough in my narrow subfield. I guess I can have them show the grad students how to muddle through all these databases, but it’s better if they learn on their own, like I had to. ILL is really nice, though. I use that a lot.” http://lynnemthomas.com/?p=761

Congratulations to SILS professor Dr. Cristina Pattuelli on the publication of her most recent article: Personal name vocabularies as linked open data: a case study of jazz artist names in Journal of Information Science Volume 38 Issue 6, December 2012 http://jis.sagepub.com/content/38/6/558.abstract?etoc Abstract This article describes the process of constructing a vocabulary of personal names of jazz artists in the form of Linked Open Data (LOD). Created as a name directory to support the development of the Linked Jazz project, it provides a case study that demonstrates the value and the challenges of developing a domain-specific vocabulary tool that draws upon the semantics of DBpedia, a major LOD dataset. The article also addresses possible strategies for enhancing the directory to make it a more robust personal name vocabulary.

Brain Pickings is her attempt to create a 21st-century library, as she put it. “I want to build a new framework for what information matters,” she said. In effect, she wants to recreate the portals she first viewed the world through as a child — the library science of her mother and the encyclopedia of her grandmother.

It can create searchable PDFs, Word files, tiffs, and jpegs in color, grey scale, or black and white. It also has a high speed document scanner that can scan multiple pages single or double sided in minutes. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Patricia Aufderheide, from the Center for Social Media, describes the Internet Archive's new site which allows users to search the news from the past 3 years. "Do you want to know which network said Obamacare the most? On which program? Want to see how the media portray the Middle East turmoil? Want to know how Mitt Romney’s dog-on-the-roof or Olympics-gaffe story evolved and on which programs? No problem. You can watch it in relevant 30 second segments (the ones you searched for), and send a link to a friend or reference the link in a journalistic or academic article."

Kindly include in your submission: - Digital file (TIFF format, 300 dpi) - Contact information and Pratt affiliation, including degree and year if you are alumni. Please send any questions and your submissions electronically to Missy Brown, Project CHART Intern Coordinator at the Brooklyn Museum - melissa.brown@brooklynmuseum.org. Entries are being accepted through May 10, 2012. All alumni, students, faculty, and staff are encouraged and eligible to enter. The winning designer will receive a $100 cash prize as well as the prestige of having their logo represent the Project CHART website, so don't pass up this opportunity, and send in your design soon.
