Item Open Access One Big Library(2009-01-30T10:47:59Z) Allison-Cassin, Stacy; Denton, WilliamAs Wendy Newman says, it looks like there are many different kinds of libraries (public, academic, school, national, medical, special) but really there's just One Big Library with branches all over the world. We cover the theory and practice of the One Big Library, drawing on Steve Coffman, Wendy Newman, Dan Chudnov, Christopher Alexander, and others. We show examples and tools and explain our vision for building the One Big Library.Item Open Access The One Big Library Unconference(Ontario Library Association, 2008) Allison-Cassin, Stacy; Denton, WilliamA summary of what happened at the One Big Library Unconference held in Toronto, Ontario, on 27 June 2008.Item Open Access The Possibility of the Infinite Library: Exploring the Conceptual Boundaries of Works and Texts of Bibliographic Description(Taylor & Francis, 2012-09-17) Allison-Cassin, StacyThe frictions present in the philosophical underpinnings of bibliographic control in libraries are discussed by examining the treatment of the concepts of works and texts in the literature of bibliographic control against the theories of works and texts as developed by critical theorists such as Barthes, Deleuze and Guattari, and Hayles. A radical re-thinking of traditional conceptions of the work, text and information is required if we are to have a new vision of “the library,” especially one that truly approaches a “universe of knowledge.”Item Open Access Scholr 2.0: a white paper by Scholars Portage(2007-08) Allison-Cassin, Stacy; Williams, MitaThis document was created to highlight opportunities and drive discussion for the OCUL consortium in both the short term through the launch of a new Scholars Portal server in 2008, and in the long term by incorporating more 'social' means of sharing and organizing information within OCUL's Scholars Portal and the larger academic community that it serves. It was created by Scholars Portage librarians subgroup of the Scholars Portal Public Services Advisory Group. With the implementation of Scholars Portal 2, a replacement for the existing online journal hosting service of Scholars Portal, comes a great opportunity to incorporate new features and new services to the OCUL community of students and researchers. This document was created with the intention of starting a discussion among OCUL librarians about what we would like to see be made available.
