Kedves Katalisták
Sarah Werner, a Folger Shakespeare Könyvtár (Washington, D.C., http://www.folger.edu/) munkatársa írását ajánlom figyelmükbe. Egész pontosan ez a – Roy Tennant (OCLC) –nevével fémjelzett Current Cites (http://currentcites.org/2015/cc15.26.10.html) ajánlása. Ehhez az alább olvasható annotációt Peter Hirtle (Cornell Egyetem Könyvtára) készítette.
Werner, Sarah."How to Destroy Special Collections with Social Media in 3 Easy Steps: A Guide for Researchers and Librarians" Wynken de Worde: Books, Early Modern Culture, Post-Modern Readers (31 July 2015)(http://sarahwerner.net/blog/2015/07/how-to-destroy-special-collections-with-social-media/). - In this blog posting that presents a lecture given at this summer's Rare Books School, Werner lightly touches on some of the mistakes that special collections make when it comes to their digital collections. They include making it hard to find digital material; licensing the material in a way that makes it hard to use and reuse it; treating special collections as primarily a source of jokes and pretty pictures; and substituting click rates for appropriate engagement. The talk is heavily illustrated with fascinating examples of what works and what doesn't work. One wishes that more library literature was both thoughtful and entertaining.
