		<description>[...] &#8220;Evolutionary Technology and the Emerging Divide&#8221; by Michael Casey at LibraryCrunch. Where are we with &#8220;library technology&#8221; now? Are we in an evolutionary or revolutionary period? Programming being done by Casey Bisson and John Blyerg point to some of the revolutionary things that can be done with small, evolutionary, tools. What will result from these efforts will be amazing, and I am very anxious to see where we are in two or three years with their services.

		<description>[...] Friday afternoon I attended a very popular presentation by Casey Bisson: Designing OPAC for Web 2.0. Even though I skipped lunch, ran to the conference center some 20 minutes into his presentation and took copious notes throughout, I could have just lolligagged along the Riverwalk, because you can find his entire presentation captured live in Quicktime -see hyperlink above.

		<description>[...] The experimentation and development going on in libraries around the world makes me think that one charatcteristic of Library 2.0 is that the library functions as a laboratory for development. This can take many forms. The OPAC experimentation that Casey Bisson does with WordPress, Ann Arbor Public Library and their superpatron does stuff with Amazon APIs that makes me sit up and think, and elsewhere other experiments are changig the library both in the electronic and physical world. If we start to regard change as a &#8220;normal&#8221; situation as I suspect you have to do in a lab, then maybe we can have a go at realizing what Michael Casey wrote about having to live with constant change. This sounds slightly threatening to me, so thinking about the library as a lab and myself as a slightly demented scientist/librarian helps me accept the concept of change as a permanent fixture of library life and even enjoy the process. No lightning-rods on the roof yet&#8230; Of course the next step is to let the library be a lab for libraryÂ  users as well. Start having video recording and editing equipment in the library. Let kids play around with it and publish the result on the library webpage or videoblog. Of course everyone is welcome to record their podcast in the library sound-studio or try out other new technologies as the library makes the latest stuff available to users (after letting the library staff play around with it first). Experiment with interfaces, both in the physical world and virtually. Let the users comment, on the blog or on the desk, invite comments as you change and try out things, don&#8217;t just present the final product. You let yourself wide open to critisism, but also to valuable input that might improve what you try to do, or let you drop a failed idea before you spend too much resources on it. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] This sucks, it doesn&#8217;t do X, and your plan for Y is all wrong. You&#8217;re probably right. The plan here is to build a framework that let&#8217;s us ask questions, build possible solutions, and share them easily. The only thing I&#8217;m certain of is our need to find ways to make our systems easier to use, easier to extend, and integrated into the larger stream of progress that&#8217;s shaping the internet that over 200 million Americans are making an essential part of their lives. Take this as an invitation to get involved, there&#8217;s lots to do. [...]</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;2006: Year of the phoenix OPAC?&lt;/strong&gt;

Another great January moment was seeing Casey Bisson's Wordpress OPAC project which poses some intrinsic questions about the nature of our relationship to the ILS and OPAC as well as with our vendors.</description>

[...]That's what Casey has done by taking the OPAC into his own programming hands. His creation is a beautiful thing that offers comments, RSS feeds, book reviews and other niftiness that would give the proverbial online bookseller a run for its money. Check out his screenshots on flickr -- don't forget to read the comments![...]</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Library 2.0 in the Real World&lt;/strong&gt;

[...]One of Casey's theories that resonates with me is a fundamental mistake librarians make: assuming that the OPAC has to be part of the Integrated Library System (ILS). In other words, if you buy a specific vendor's product with which to do your cataloging, acquisitions, serials, etc., then you are stuck using that vendor's online catalog. Unless, of course, you have one or more programmers to completely rewrite the catalogâ??and let's face it, there just aren't that many libraries with those kinds of resources.[...]</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;OPACs old and new, Ms. Jessamyn goes to Washington&lt;/strong&gt;

[...]This brings me to my next topic, sparked by Jenny Levine&#8217;s TechSource post about &lt;a href="http://www.techsource.ala.org/blog/2006/01/library-20-in-the-real-world.html"&gt;Library 2.0 in the Real World&lt;/a&gt; and my new pal &lt;a href="http://www.maisonbisson.com/blog/"&gt;Casey&lt;/a&gt; who maybe you&#8217;ve heard of. Casey Bisson &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maisonbisson/archives/date-posted/2006/01/20/"&gt;built an OPAC prototype that runs on WordPress&lt;/a&gt;. No, seriously, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maisonbisson/89125523/in/dateposted/"&gt;look&lt;/a&gt;. It will run with any vendor&#8217;s ILS. He &lt;a href="http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/11096/"&gt;talked about it at ALA&lt;/a&gt; well before I got there, and people were buzzing about it all week. Not only is it a clever hack, it&#8217;s clean, simple, unbranded and highly functional in ways that seem pretty obvious to bloghappy me. I&#8217;d love to see a prototype running publicly so that he could get some feedback from folks who maybe don&#8217;t come from the born-with-the-chip generation.[...]</description>
