I have been catching up on my reading. The problem with blogs is that they put you onto so many new articles, blogs and websites with great stuff, which you may not come across otherwise. Oh yes, and that’s the great thing about them too.

Anyway, back on topic, 2 recent articles that I was put onto by fellow library bloggers that I found interesting and thought that others might too!

“Reference Publishing” by Sharon R Cole on the Website of BookTech Magazine, explores the current trends and future plans of Reference title publishing. (5 printed pages)

“Scan this book!” by Kevin Kelly of Wired Magazine was published in the NY Times. It was a very interesting and thought provoking look at the present situation with Google and the publishers over book scanning and where he thinks the book is going and how it will be accessed in future. I didn’t agree with everything Kevin wrote, but it was very interesting and controversial for me in places. A good bit of provocation every now and then is good for me!

Enjoy!
