XML.com: Hacking the Library [Mar. 15, 2004]
With lines like:
" What is a library? The first social thing to say about lending libraries in the United States is that they are thriving socialist institutions in the midst of capitalist fervor." from The Library of Congress Comes Home
and
"In other words, we're geeks; we're not library or information scientists. But these -- computer and library science -- are kissing cousin fields, parasitic and dependent on one another in important, deep ways. Geeks can learn information and library science easily enough, but especially if they have a real, hackable motivation for doing so. I'm suggesting in this column what I intend to prove in future columns, namely, that the dijalog lifestyle, which is the one most of us are actually living, is uniquely suited to the confluence of geek hackery and certains parts of library science." from Geeks and the Dijalog Lifestyle
This is a VERY promising series.
