Geeks and the Dijalog Lifestyle From XML.com by Kendall Grant Clark, February 18, 2004
"...That's the curious space I and others like me inhabit today: Digital, but not purely digital; analog, but not only analog. We live in the space between these two, in the space carved out by their now haphazard, now principled mixture. It is a space worthy, or so I like to think, of its own name. I have taken to calling it "dijalog", that is, "digital plus analog". We're all -- at least all of us of a certain age -- dijaloggers now. ..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.
That's why I'm calling this series of columns Hacking the Library, because I want to share some of the library science tricks I've picked up in my own efforts to manage my dijalog lifestyle, and I want a motivation to learn new ones and share them with you"
Cool. This sounds interesting. Let's see how he explains catalogging and metatdata and thesauri.... Maybe I just need to hire my own catalogger for my stuff : ) (link courtesy of Gary on Resource Shelf)  ¶ 3:29 PM| |cites (technorati) |
