Dublin Core Metadata for this blog

I just found DC-dot which generates the Dublin Core Metadata for any website. This is the list of keywords that the site generated for my blog:

Atom; Bibliography; Delft; Chicago; Debating; October; view; power; Testing; Monitoring; sooo; Subscribe; Setting; private; Class; Sh; follow; comparison; Random; catharsis; 3:27; February; ounce; Twitter; Daddy; Evaluating; electronic; BAISL; Cybriarian; Blog; Pete; AM; cells; progress; obligatory; Friday; tips; charge; checker; Books; reading; Browsing; 8:04; Wave; spell; review; post; comments; Library; Media; Service; War; December; seen; 4:54; 9:37; future; red; user; links; Viewpoints; definitely; Librarian; Fair; data; Librar; Learning; Hard; burrow; ready; Giving; List; otherwise; Musings; Anderson; 0 comments; doing; free; Mary; personal; intermediary; Personal; Sites; tax; phone; Archivist; 10:11; September; Cooley; Teacher; worth; View; Sunday; Ebsco; Se; Hosting; hands-on; list; Pixelpipe; Review; School; video; Commons; Information; Reference; Extremem; Links; Alice; Ch; negative; January; 3:09; Alpha; August; April; Google; watermole; Subj; Learners; Im; libraries; curse; web; Practices; Saying; Seamless; school; students; Opposing; Holy; movement; David; faculty; running; using; Posts; 6:46; Code; Dream; iGoogle; March; Platypus; Integrated; G1; search; page; ton; November; Blogs; patterns; 9:43; aeonity.com; Archive; algo; translator; Koha; interface; 11:32; nympholepsy; sites; Finding; wikis; questions; Investigations; Mashable; Pro; Sorry; Antitrust; Martha; 6:15; Time; Tuesday; Taxonomies; Makeover; library; Morphing; drive; July; Followers; reference; Moonlighting; June; dead; article; Loertsche; Wolfram; Thursday; Sean; Notes; databases; information; PM; teens; Updates; blood; iPhone; Saturday; Systems; Eugene; book

Interestingly enough, when I tried to embed the metadata into this post I got this error:

Your HTML cannot be accepted: Tag is not allowed: link rel="schema.DC" href="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"

This is the html sans tags:

Evaluating Integrated Library Systems

I've been looking at various job openings for librarians and noting the different ILS's of which I would like to get at least a passing familiarity. I'll record my impression of them and compare them to Koha here.

In the mean time, I need to explore Integrated Library Systems Report (http://www.ilsr.com/vendors/search2.cfm). It's old, but looks like a good place to start.

I'm definitely doing this once I get Koha up and running

Wolfram Alpha


Believe it or not, I've already read "dangers of Wolfram Alpha" articles but if you haven't been introduced to this new tool watch this video

Monitoring myself. . .



My readers in Mumbai are not getting the best service possible!

Eugene The Librarian

Listen to Sarah Thomas, librarian of the Bodleian and head of Oxford Library Services & Robert Darnton, director of Harvard University Library discuss the future of libraries and Google here.

Some cool new features for searching on Google:
