I appreciated that this reading was rather relaxed and approachable, especially after finishing the DELOS article which was quite technical. I have entered my written notes, hopefully this is not too informal.
-- 1994: NSF launches DLI
*3 interested parties: librarians, comp scientists, publishers
*spawned google & other developments
-- DLI has changed work & private activities for nearly everyone
-- For scientists: exciting new work informed by librarianship
*resolution of tension between novel research & valuable products
-- For librarians: increased funding opportunities, improved impact of services
*OPACs were all most lib's had. expertise was needed
-- Advent of web: changed plans & got in the way
*blurred distinction b/t consumers & producers
-- Problem for CS: bound by perproject agreements & compyright. Web removed restrictions.
* broadening of relevance
-- Web threatened pillar of lib'ship...left w/out connection to recognizable, traditional library fx's
* Both valued predicatbility & repeatability - web led to laissez faire attitude toward info retrieval (did not particularly upset public)
-- Librarians feel they haven't gotten adequate funding for coll. dev.
-- CS's couldn't understand vast amounts of time devoted to structures like metadata
-- Core fx of lib'ship remains despite new, technical infrastructure
*importance of collections re-emerging
-- Direct connection b/t lib's & scholarly authors
-- Broadened opportunities in lib sci as a result of DLI
