I used Infography to search for &#8216;intellectual property&#8217;(without quotes), as that is what I am researching for a paper. Though all the links are not current, it is another way to find links to information on a specific topic. Besides links to Web sites, there may be citations for relevant articles. p.s.

Thank you for the correction. I skimmed instead of reading closely, and my eyes saw the two RLG references on the side, one a graphic. To set this straight, The Infography is produced by Fields of Knowledge. They state “reference tool enables a student, librarian, or teacher to identify superlative sources of information about a subject of inquiry, viewed through the lens of expert opinion.” In another statement they say that 89% of the subject experts are college faculty.

I used Infography to search for ‘intellectual property’(without quotes), as that is what I am researching for a paper. Though all the links are not current, it is another way to find links to information on a specific topic. Besides links to Web sites, there may be citations for relevant articles.

I notice that Walt Crawford is using WordPress (http://wordpress.org/) blogging software. I am going to give that a try as soon as I can settle on a hosting service and move my Web site.

I was wholly unware of the Infography item--and it wasn't prepared by RLG. What you're seeing is a contextual ad for RedLightGreen. A librarian (almost certainly not affiliated with RLG) prepared the Infography item. Yes, I still work for RLG. Thanks for the kind words.

On the issue of using this Weblog for library 221, the primary problem is that I would have to open discussions. If this were a forum product or a Wiki, others could open discussion items. Thank you for suggesting it. If someone wants to propose a discussion, I am happy to post it and open it for comments. Thank you, Rhonda, for the additional link and discussion on this issue.

I finally got a chance to check out your blog. It occurred to me it might be a fun thing to use this as a class resource since we are not using blackboard. There are times I wish we could post comments and questions to get feed back from the other students. This issue about government "web scrubbing" - deleting government e-documents is an important one. I first became aware of it while researching a paper on the National Information Inftrastructure, and learned much information was lost during the transition from the Clinton to the Bush Administration. (And this is in addition to the normal fugative documents that just never make it from agencies to the GPO.) For another aspect of restricted public access to government information, check out Executive Order 13233: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=2001_register&docid=fr05no01-104.pdf This is a Bush EO which restricts access to Presidential and Vice Presidential papers. This coupled with the replacement of the National Archivist, changes in GPO distribution, and the pulling of documents from Federal Libraries, and pulling reports from agency sites (eg. the Civil Rights Commission) show an alarming direction with regard to restricting public access to government information.
