Interesting fact. When you google ‘law librarians’ in UK – this site is #9, Canada #3 and in the US #2. … good example of geotargeting search results. … factors being location of servers, hosting co, links, and possibly dns info.
Just in case any of you thought your results were ‘the’ google results. :) And local stuff is distorting the results more & more all the time. Want to test yourself? add &gl=us onto the end your search string, or gl=uk or gl=ca
I don’t know if any of you work on your firm’s intranet, but I thought Amy Witt’s cartoon was pretty good!
New book edition: The Spirit of Law Librarianship (2nd ed)
Something musical for a Friday: here’s an NYT article on Girl Talk, a mashup artist who piles up hundreds of samples of other artists in creating his music. This obviously raises some interesting copyright issues.
He’s released his latest album on a pay what you want basis, available here. I’d recommend it, although it is the musical equivalent of eating too much rich food!
VLLB post up yesterday detailing my thoughts on Active Collections, and how I think collection development may require a new approach with today’s dynamic web. Please consider blogging a response.
Added the Crosby Group blog Connections to my legal marketing blogs list on lawblogs.ca. Check it out if you haven’t already! :)
Trying to find a standard disclaimer form. Type when exclude liability for anything that may happen on a premises. Anyone have an example/suggestions?
A NYT article asks, If You Run a Red Light, Will Everyone Know? In the US, the answer is now, “Yes.” The new CriminalSearches.com lets you search and find free “criminal” information. I found someone whose crime was riding his bicycle on the wrong side of the road. So, you’d better not let anyone catch you jaywalking….
New RSS feed mixing website launched for DUI Lawyer blogs. Still on the lookout for more DUI blogs… Relay any missed to myself or Lawrence Koplow.
And related, my slaw post on how this project relates to RSS collection building. I’m coining the phrase ‘active collections’ because it sounds cool. ;)
Law library podcast The Law Librarian is set to continue recording Friday, August 8th at 3 pm CST. Today’s guest is Margie Maes (formerly Margie Axtmann), Executive Director of the Legal Information Preservation Alliance, a committee of AALL.
Somehow I missed the recording of Episode 2 – Jim Milles was the guest. It looks like The Law Librarian is gearing up for regular broadcast, with shows scheduled the next few Fridays in August.
If you miss the live broadcast, it will be available for listening from the website afterward.
Date correction: I had the date wrong. Note it is actually next Friday, August 8th. Corrected above.
