href="https://blog.librarything.com/2010/06/announcing-overcat">OverCat</a>, LibraryThing’s data repository. This brings the total number of records in OverCat to nearly <b>78 million</b>! That’s 78 million high-quality library (MARC) records you can use in cataloging on LibraryThing.</p> <p>This new dataset was produced by the Library of Congress from records in the 2014 Retrospective file sets—the most recent currently available. The Library of Congress provides these MARC records as part of its <a href="https://www.loc.gov/cds/products/marcDist.php">MARC Open Access program</a>. Although LibraryThing adds MARC records to Overcat as members search for them, this is our first mass update from Library of Congress data since OverCat debuted in 2010.</p> <p>Thanks to developer <a href="https://www.librarything.com/profile/ccatalfo">CCatalfo</a>‘s efforts to make this happen.

I particularly remember the day we spent finding all the very oldest and coolest books on magic and witchcraft they had.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/192/Library-of-Congress">Library of Congress.</a></b> I went to Georgetown, but apart from the Woodstock Theological Library in the basement, it was only so-so and needed more. The LC—arguably the greatest library in the world—was my library and, really, my university too.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/11/Boston-Public-Library">Boston Public Library.</a></b> The BPL is, with the NYPL, one of only a few publics that try to maintain a serious research collection. I did a lot of work there in High School (I was a weird kid okay?). The main reading room is my idea of Heaven.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/1970/Yale-University-Beinecke-Rare-Book-Manuscript-Library-BRBL-">Beinecke Library.</a></b> Architecturally, the most gorgeous library I know. I took my son to Yale just to see the library, and it was closed! But I recently made a replica for him in Minecraft. Check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Curbed/videos/1347462065303719/">Beinecke on video</a>!</p> <hr> <h1><a href="https://www.librarything.com/profile/lorannen">Loranne</a></h1> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenstein_Library#/media/File:Regenstein_Library_entrance2.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/regenstein_300.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px;" /></a><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/1437/University-of-Chicago-Joseph-Regenstein-Library">University of Chicago Joseph Regenstein Library.</a></b> My alma mater’s flagship library, and how I got my official start in my career in libraries—shoutout to the Bookstacks Department! “The Reg,” as it’s known on campus, has a foreboding, Brutalist exterior, but inside, seemed to have everything I could ever want. This includes UofC’s Special Collections.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/108013">Six Mile Regional Library District Branch.</a></b> My very first public library as a child. I was hypnotized by the rotating shelves, and I have vivid memories of asking the librarian for more books on sharks, please.</p> <p><b>The Choral Library at Rockefeller Memorial Chapel.</b> This one isn鈥檛 open to the public, and it鈥檚 in more or less a closet behind the King鈥檚 balcony. It was stuffy, crowded, and I loved it. It had a rolling ladder, just like the movies! My fellow choral office assistant and I mostly had it all to ourselves.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/3007/Seattle-Public-Library-Central-Library-">Seattle Public Library.</a></b> Visually striking both inside and out, and always busy. What’s not to love about “the mothership” (as some of us are fond of calling it)? SPL is really on top of events programming, too: from helping folks with their taxes to speaker series.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/34232/Tuscaloosa-Public-Library">Tuscaloosa Public Library.</a></b> My grandparents’ local library, which has been a great resource for them for years. Possibly my favorite part is that, rather than a perennial book sale, the Friends of the Tuscaloosa Library Bookstore is open almost year-round, and is partly to blame for my home library’s shelves overflowing.</p> <hr> <h1><a href="https://www.librarything.com/profile/ablachly">Abby</a></h1> <p><a href="https://www.mtholyoke.edu/media/mhc-list-best-libraries-winter-reading"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/mountholyoke_300.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px;" /></a><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/4313/Mount-Holyoke-College-Library-Information-and-Technology-Services">Mount Holyoke College Library.</a></b> The building itself makes all sorts of “most beautiful library” lists, but this is where I spent much of my undergrad days, reading, sitting in the stacks in front of the HQ range grabbing books for my thesis, and occasionally napping in my carrel, when I wasn’t downstairs working at the Archives and Special Collections.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/11/Boston-Public-Library">Boston Public Library.</a></b> In the early days of LibraryThing, I would occasionally set up camp and spend the day working from the BPL. The McKim Building is beautiful, the collection itself is vast.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/20956/Mattapoisett-Free-Public-Library">Mattapoisett Free Public Library.</a></b> This was the library of my childhood, a tiny lovely place, complete with an old Civil War canon outside for climbing on.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/360">New York Public Library.</a></b> I have written many books—at least in my head, if not yet on paper—that take place in the NYPL.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/1689/Cambridge-Public-Library-Main-Branch">Cambridge Public Library.</a></b> My new everyday library. </p> <hr> <h1><a href="https://www.librarything.com/profile/kristilabrie">Kristi</a></h1> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/108015">University of Tasmania Morris Miller Library.</a></b> Many an hour I spent studying in the upper levels of this library, browsing the science collections and using the free internet to research my next weekend trip. It was one of the places I really felt welcome when travelling alone and overseas for a semester.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/38586">Newport Public Library.</a></b> Sadly, this library closed while I was in college (don鈥檛 worry, a new cultural center took its place). The library used to be in a <a href="http://newportculturalcenter.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/old-library.jpg">pretty little brick building</a> on Main Street in my hometown. I was an avid patron there from 5 years old, and remember cleaning up the grounds with my Girl Scout Troop as a kid.</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beinecke_Rare_Book_%26_Manuscript_Library#/media/File:Yale_University%27s_Beinecke_Rare_Book_and_Manuscript_Library.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/beinecke_300.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px;" /></a></p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/1970/Yale-University-Beinecke-Rare-Book-Manuscript-Library-BRBL-">Beinecke Library.</a></b> I’ve never been, but I would love to go! Rare books plus beautiful architecture, sourced with marble panels from Vermont? Count me in, please.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/5613/Trinity-College-Library-Dublin">Trinity College Library.</a></b> Another library I鈥檇 love to visit. The Long Room makes me think of grand fantasy tales, getting lost in the shelves in a world like Harry Potter鈥檚 or Redwall鈥檚, and please say there are track ladders I could maybe ride without getting in trouble?</p> <p>Tie between <b><a href="https://www.librarycat.org/lib/ATKlibrary">America’s Test Kitchen</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.librarycat.org/lib/CheeseSociety">American Cheese Society</a></b>.

They have won several state and national awards for programming, facility, and general awesomeness, but my favorite feature was the heated flooring in the children鈥檚 story circle.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/5613/Trinity-College-Library-Dublin">Trinity College Library.</a></b> Can you have an aspiration to just become a library? Because I could do that, here. Book of Kells was definitely bucket list material.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/31152/Biblioteca-delle-Oblate"><br /> Biblioteca delle Oblate.</a></b> I work from my laptop around the world. When I was in Italy a few years ago, this branch of the Florence public libraries, overlooking the Duomo, provided me a sunny view, killer macchiatos (and, uh, wine), and steady/free wifi. Simply gorgeous.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/108016">Smith College Josten Performing Arts Library.</a></b> Worked in this architectural ode to the 1960s in college, shelving music scores among squashy armchairs, becoming conversant in the Cutter Classification system.</p> <p><b><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/02/25/cnnheroes.soriano/index.html">Biblioburro.</a></b> This library travels on braying hoof through a region of Colombia, bringing books to children who don鈥檛 have libraries of their own or other access to books.

Whitney himself lived just a few blocks away.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/108017">Lake Region Middle School Library.</a></b> Moving to Maine from Puerto Rico in the middle of a school year then skipping a grade didn鈥檛 make for the most wonderful 7th grade experience. Thankfully, this library and its wonderful librarian were there. I wish I could remember her name, but mostly I remember her storytelling. She made <i>The Polar Express</i> for me.</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Public_Library#/media/File:SFLibrary.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/sfpl_300.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/9252/San-Francisco-Public-Library">San Francisco Public Library.</a></b> I went to the library two days before I moved cross-country back to Maine to renew my library card. I still can鈥檛 bear to part with the physical card, though my e-borrowing privileges expired in 2015.</p> <p><b>Tim’s family’s personal library.</b> I鈥檓 pretty sure that the book stacks I make every time I housesit are primarily made up of Lisa鈥檚 books, maybe some of Liam鈥檚. Tim鈥檚 are certainly fascinating to browse the titles, if a bit scholarly for my non-required-reading tastes.</p> <div class="clear"> <hr> <h1><a href="https://www.librarything.com/profile/katemcangus">Kate</a></h1> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Public_Library_Main_Branch#/media/File:New_York_Public_Library_May_2011.JPG"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/nypl_300.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px;" /></a><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/360">New York Public Library.</a></b> As a book-loving kid living in Texas, I dreamed of visiting this library, living in this library. I first made it to NYC in 2010 and was thrilled to meet Patience and Fortitude, and to wander around this marvel for hours. It did not disappoint, y’all.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/11/Boston-Public-Library">Boston Public Library.</a></b> After moving to Boston for library school, I spent many days getting to know the BPL: the collections, the artwork, the history. It still feels like home despite having left Boston four years ago.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/69493/Armstrong-Browning-Library-Baylor-University">Baylor University Armstrong Browning Library.</a></b> This absolutely beautiful research library maintains the largest collection of the works of and works pertaining to Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning in the world. In Waco, Texas! I would many times attempt to study in the library only to be distracted by the stories it held.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/4896/St-Louis-Public-Library-Central-Library">St. Louis Public Library.</a></b> This lovely piece of history underwent a complete <a href="https://vimeo.com/63588550">restoration</a> recently, the results unveiled on the library鈥檚 centennial in 2012. I love so much about this space: the stunning Grand Hall, the Graham Greene and Joseph Heller quotes on the ceiling of the stacks, the revamped children’s space. But most of all, I love that my husband and I got engaged here.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.librarything.com/venue/5613/Trinity-College-Library-Dublin">Trinity College Library.</a></b> One day I鈥檒l get there, y’all.</p> </div> <hr> <h1>Your Favorite Libraries</h1> <p>Have a great National Library Week, and come share your favorites in the discussion on <a href="https://www.librarything.com/topic/254967">Talk</a>!</p> </div> <div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> <p class="blogger-labels">Labels: <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/libraries/" rel="category tag">libraries</a>, <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/library-of-congress/" rel="category tag">library of congress</a>, <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/national-library-week/" rel="category tag">national library week</a></p> <div class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Loranne @<a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2017/04/national-lib-week-2017/" title="Permanent Link to Libraries We Love">11:59 am</a></em> <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2017/04/national-lib-week-2017/#comments">12 Comments »</a> </div> <div class="shareit"> <li> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/home?status=Libraries+We+Love+-+http://www.librarything.comhttps://blog.librarything.com/2017/04/national-lib-week-2017/" target="_blank" ><img src="http://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/t_mini-a.png" alt="Tweet about Libraries We Love" /></a> </li> <li class="facebook-share"> <a name="fb_share" type="icon" share_url="http://www.librarything.comhttps://blog.librarything.com/2017/04/national-lib-week-2017/" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script> </li> </div> </div> <div class="post-1185 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-event category-library-of-congress category-reading tag-75-book-challenge tag-national-book-festival tag-nbf"> <h2 class="date-header">Thursday, August 26th, 2010</h2> <h3 class="post-title"><a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2010/08/read-a-national-book-festival-authors-book-ask-them-a-question/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Read a National Book Festival author’s book; ask them a question">Read a National Book Festival author’s book; ask them a question</a></h3> <div class="post-body"> <p><a href="http://www.loc.gov/bookfest/"><img decoding="async" src="http://www.loc.gov/bookfest/images/left-img-head.gif" alt="" align="right" /></a>The <a href="http://www.librarything.com/groups/75booksin2010">75 Books Challenge for 2010</a> group has a <a href="http://www.librarything.com/topic/95847">“Take It or Leave It”</a> challenge for August, where they read a book by one of the authors who will be attending the 10th annual <a href="http://www.loc.gov/bookfest/">National Book Festival</a>.</p> <p>You don’t have to be part of the 75 Books Challenge group to decide to read a NBF author’s book.

As Ed explained:</p> <blockquote><p>“On December 18th I was asked to shut off lcsh.info by the Library of Congress. As an LC employee I really did not have much choice other than to comply.”</p></blockquote> <p>I am not as up on or enthusiastic about Ed’s Semantic-Web intentions, but the open-data implications are clear: the Library of Congress just took down public data. I didn’t think things could get much worse after the <a href="http://www.librarything.com/thingology/2008/12/elusive-moose-and-oclc.php">recent OCLC moves</a>, but this is worse. The Library of Congress is the <i>good guy.</i></p> <p><a href="http://inquiringlibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/12/wow.html">Jenn Riley</a> put it well:</p> <blockquote><p>“I know our library universe is complex. The real world gets in the way of our ideals. … But at some point talk is just talk and action is something else entirely. So where are we with library data? All talk? Or will we take action too? If our leadership seems to be headed in the wrong direction, who is it that will emerge in their place? Does the momentum need to shift, and if so, how will we make this happen? Is this the opportunity for a grass-roots effort? I’m not sure the ones I see out there are really poised to have the effect they really need to have. So what next?”</p></blockquote> <p>The time has come to get serious. The library world is headed in the wrong direction. It’s wrong for patrons鈥攁nd taxpayers. And it’s wrong for libraries. </p> <p>By the way, Ed, we’re <a href="http://www.librarything.com/thingology/2008/12/job-library-developer-for-librarything.php">recruiting library programmers</a>. The job description includes wanting to change the world. </p> <p>See also: <a href="http://blogs.talis.com/panlibus/archives/2008/12/library-of-congress-forces-lcsh-linked-data-site-shut-down.php">Panlibus</a>.</p> </div> <div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> <p class="blogger-labels">Labels: <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/library-of-congress/" rel="category tag">library of congress</a>, <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/open-data/" rel="category tag">open data</a></p> <div class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Tim @<a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2008/12/lcsh-info-rip/" title="Permanent Link to LCSH.info, RIP">2:52 am</a></em> <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2008/12/lcsh-info-rip/#respond">0 Comments »</a> </div> <div class="shareit"> <li> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/home?status=LCSH.info%2C+RIP+-+http://www.librarything.comhttps://blog.librarything.com/2008/12/lcsh-info-rip/" target="_blank" ><img src="http://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/t_mini-a.png" alt="Tweet about LCSH.info, RIP" /></a> </li> <li class="facebook-share"> <a name="fb_share" type="icon" share_url="http://www.librarything.comhttps://blog.librarything.com/2008/12/lcsh-info-rip/" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script> </li> </div> </div> <div class="post-11080 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-copyright category-department-of-commerce category-department-of-defense category-department-of-labor category-federal-libraries category-freedom category-library-of-congress category-oclc category-openness"> <h2 class="date-header">Wednesday, December 10th, 2008</h2> <h3 class="post-title"><a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2008/12/the-new-oclc-policy-and-federal-libraries/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to The New OCLC Policy and Federal Libraries">The New OCLC Policy and Federal Libraries</a></h3> <div class="post-body"> <p><a href="http://www.librarything.com/pics/blog/OCLCSupremeCourt.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="http://www.librarything.com/pics/blog/OCLCSupremeCourt-small.jpg" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;"></a>This blog post attempts to show that the new <a href="http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/policy.htm">OCLC Policy</a> (blogged <a href="http://www.librarything.com/thingology/2008/12/elusive-moose-and-oclc.php">here</a>) effectively anulls a longstanding principle of US law, that work performed by government officials and employees is forever in the public domain.</p> <p>In a library context, this has always meant that Federal libraries are not only free but <i>compelled</i> to share their information with the public that pays for it.</p> <p>Many continue to hold that this is still true. As one AUTOCAT poster wrote:</p> <blockquote><p>“I find it hard to believe OCLC would attempt to assert an intellectual property right over things such as LC cataloging, which by statute is in the public domain.”</p></blockquote> <p>Unfortunately, this conception confuses two areas of law. By crafting the Policy as a <i>license</i>, which is perpetual, retroactive and viral, OCLC can effect a sort of ownership–US citizens still own it, but the don’t have a right to <i>get it</i> (except, if the qualify, with an OCLC license around it). </p> <p>Thus, OCLC transforms an expensive service–access to a repository of data that, <a href="http://orweblog.oclc.org/archives/000544.html">even OCLC employees admit</a>, would fit on an iPod, with room for 5,000 songs!–into effective ownership. This state of affairs obtains even when all the cataloging and editing was done by other Federal agencies and employees. It is only broken when the library in question itself did the original cataloging. As we shall see, that doesn’t help much.</p> <p><b>Three Federal Libraries.</b> The OCLC affiliate for Federal libraries, FEDLINK, maintains a <a href="http://www.loc.gov/flicc/about/Membership/fedlibmembers.html">list of its members</a>–libraries like the Library of Congress, NASA, Justice, the Smithsonian, the National Library of Medicine, the Supreme Court, etc. </p> <p>From this list I plucked three that have public catalogs–the Department of Defense, Commerce, and Labor–and carefully examined the first ten MARC records for three common English words. I checked these against the 001, 035 and 994 fields recommended in the <a href="http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/questions/faq.pdf">Policy FAQ</a>, “How can I determine if a record was derived from WorldCat?”* The results are depressing.</p> <p>Of the <a href="http://www.whs.mil/library/#">Department of Defense</a>‘s ten books on “Freedom,” <i>zero</i> will be free after the Policy takes effect. None were originally cataloged by the Department of Defense, and all had 035 fields showing they were at one point “derived” from OCLC. In every case, the original cataloger was the Library of Congress, and many were edited by the Department of Defense. But that doesn’t count. They aren’t DoD original cataloging and they bear the mark of OCLC. As far as the Policy is concerned, that’s the end of the story.</p> <p>Of the Department of Labor’s ten “Copyright” books, zero again are free. All ten were cataloged and edited by Federal employees (mostly the LC and the Congressional Information Service). But none were cataloged by the Department of Labor, and all have fatal 035 fields.</p> <p>The situation at the <a href="http://www.whs.mil/library/#">Department of Commerce</a> was slightly better. Here I searched for “Openness” and got only eight results. Five are clear-cut OCLC records. Two might be free–they lack 001 and 035 fields, although OCLC appears in the 040. I think, however, that they aren’t currently held by the library though, and, in an overlooked provision, the OCLC Policy prohibits transfer of records when a library doesn’t hold the book. But one is free–cataloged by the University of Alabama and lacking any trace of OCLC transfer. </p> <p>Don’t think the OCLC Policy affects Federal libraries? Think again.</p> <p><i>Sign the <a href="http://watchdog.net/c/stop-oclc">Petition</a> (if a librarian, also see <a href="http://www.PetitionOnline.com/oclc/petition-sign.html">this one</a>).</i></p> <hr /> <p></p> <pre style="font-size: 10px;"><b>Data.</b> Here's what I found.

The Policy makes this clear:</p> <blockquote><p>“This Policy is the final, complete and exclusive statement of the agreement of the partiwith respect to the subject matter hereof.”</p></blockquote> <p>Similarly problemmatic is the claim that OCLC will not be asking libraries to shut down Z39.50 connections. The Policy makes it clear that libraries cannot “Transfer” records to companies or for “Unreasonable use” (ie., building up a free database of library records). Since companies and entities like the Open Library aren’t going to agree to the Policy, how exactly can a library avoid violating their contractual agreement if they don’t shut down Z39.50 connections?</p> </div> <div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> <p class="blogger-labels">Labels: <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/copyright/" rel="category
