Here are some things to consider this week.
- Jill Hurst-Wahl imagines the library of the future over on Digitization 101. I like the Starbucks-like, adult atmosphere of the concept. Let kids and teens get their own libraries!
- Better sign up soon for InfoCamp Seattle October 13-14. I am thinking of breaking out my favorite presentation on taxonomy, tagging and crowdsourcing called "You Say Tomato, I Say Aardvark." Don't miss it.
- Stock photography curators at Evolve Images make an unprecedented move to actually publish their photographer roster complete with contact information in case you'd like to commission the photographers. In the past, savvy art producers had to find this information for themselves and before Al Gore invented the internet, that was a task!
- Here are the top 5 Digital Asset Management system user adoption metrics. This is a great start for anyone (like me) that seeks to quantify the value of DAM.
- I love metadata games and here is an article about a couple at Dartmouth. I think I mentioned Alum Tag before, but wait, there's more...
- Bonus post all about Dartmouth metadata games http://www.scholarships.com/Blog/college-news/dartmouths-new-metadata-game-makes-tagging-archives-fun/2642/.
- While Al Gore did not create the hashtag, Chris Messina did. Read all about it here. Pretty #interestingstuff on the organization of the formerly chaotic #Twitter experience.
- Steve Cronan wins a DAMMY. Steve is CEO and founder of 5th Kind, has been awarded the 2012 DAMMY of the Year. 5th Kind is a Los Angeles-based company that provides digital asset management software to view, track and secure digital files and a platform to distribute and communicate.
