Came across this through reading Jennifer Bowen’s excellent article on the eXtensible Catalog at the University of Rochester library in the June 2008 issue of Information Technology and Libraries. Should come in handy when we touch on information ethics, come the spring semester in LIS 5033….

Bowen also recommends that, rather than using the term “next-generation catalog,” we start using “discovery environment” or “discovery system.” (And that should come in handy for LIS 5990 “Digital Collections” this fall.)

And, speaking of ethics, given the existence of TurnItIn, I knew it was only a matter of time before we’d see this. So now let’s see how quickly a “CrossCheck” gets added to the tenure review process, and the lawsuits start!
