International public perceptions of libraries

Again from June 2006 Incite: Webb's Web - A few months ago OCLC published a document called Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources, based on a survey in 2005, which received over 3,300 responses from information consumers in Australia, Canada, India, Singapore, UK and USA. The findings show that many users are still not aware of the rich variety of electronic resources that they can find in libraries.

UK supersite - to grass roots collective wisdom?

Courtesy of my favourite ALIA columnist, Kerry Webb is the UK government portal http://www.direct.gov.au. A seemingly good balance between services of all levels of government and the needs of different sectors.
And from the other end of the scale of Internet resources is an article on social bookmarking, a good exposition of this fairly recent phenomenon of shared categorisation of Internet content.
