“MARC Exit Strategies”
Roy Tennant writes, “In last month’s column (LJ 10/15/02, p. 26ff), I outlined why it is time for us to rethink our most basic bibliographic standards: MARC elements, MARC syntax, and AACR2 (the rules for populating them). This month I’ll be looking at various ways in which we can build on our strengths without allowing the past to limit our future.”

“Free Pint talks to Jakob Nielsen”
From the article, “Getting access to Web-based information can be a time-consuming and frustrating experience even for the comparatively expert members of the Free Pint community. If you have impaired sight or other disabilities it can be a nightmare. Jakob Nielsen, a principal of Nielsen Norman Group, has made it his mission to enhance the usability of the Web. Lecturing, writing and teaching on the subject have made him probably the best known Web usability expert around.”
A Special Note: I Would Like to Congratulate Will Hann and the Rest of the Free Pint Team on their Fifth Anniversary. Thanks for Providing Such a Valuable Resource. Thank You Very Much for Hosting the VAS&ND.
More News: Free Pint and the VAS&ND Received a Positive Mention in the Yesterday’s Edition of The Guardian.
