Building a Library with Free Web Resources11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.Nicholas Tomaiuolo, Associate Librarian, Central Connecticut StateUniversity, & Author, The Web LibraryThe existence of prominent subscription Web sites (e.g., The WallStreet Journal) and popular pay-per-view databases (e.g.,Ingenta) together with the discontinuation of valuable openaccess indexing resources (e.g., Northern Light) and governmentsponsored indexing/full-text (e.g., PubSCIENCE), seems to indi-cate that free content is transitory. Yet the apparent instability ofmany free Web sites that offer reliable content to librarians andtheir patrons is often offset by the emergence of new resourcesand the relative durability of others. The Web’s mutability has pos-itive as well as negative implications for librarians and libraryusers. This session analyzes a cross-section of Web sites pre-senting free content of high usability for library patrons, includingnoteworthy newcomers.

issues related to computer hacking and network attacks. This sessiondiscusses why the vulnerabilities in a network are so dynamic, whatkinds of computer hacks there are, how to evaluate software and hard-ware protection, and how to identify sources of potential exposureand develop a plan to keep your library’s resources safe.

Visual Interfaces for Users of Digital Texts11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.Donald Beagle, Director of Library Services, Belmont Abbey CollegeCan libraries out-Google Google? Should they even try?

The use of visualization to present LCCand DDC structures as “perspective hierarchies” and how keyword-in-caption searching of LCC subclasses offer fresh approaches. Thetechnique may also be generalized into a construct called “c-space”with potential applications for future use of the semantic Web.

You would have to be living under a rock to miss the deluge of storiesabout budget cuts, branch closings, slashed book budgets, reduced hours, and layoffs inundating us. Rather than justifying“more funding” from our usual sources, perhaps it’s time to explore different funding strategies, like those used by museums,zoos, science and nature centers, public broadcasting, and others. A small group of prominent, forward-thinking library direc-tors have contracted with Lewis-Kennedy Associates, a well-known development consultancy to both public radio and libraries,to explore the potential for alternative funding models in libraries.
