A couple of years ago, I was able to go to a presentation by Steven Berlin Johnson. (I remember the Berlin part of his middle name, because there are A LOT of Steve Johnsons out there.) Anyway, he was at DU talking about his 2006 book, Everything Bad is good for You. That was way back on March 31, 2009 for a Bridges to the Future (video) event. (He was also selling his 2009 book, The Invention of Air.) Just this year, he wrote Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation. This book also looked interesting, so I checked it out from Penrose. In short, I was able to glean lots of great perspectives and insights that could be applicable to the library world. Here are some:
Concerning open systems - "When one looks at innovation in nature and culture, environments that build walls around good ideas tend to be less innovative in the long run than more open-ended environments. Good ideas may not want to be free, but they do want to connect, fuse, recombine. They want to reinvent themselves by crossing conceptual borders." Page 22.
"Innovative environments are better at helping their inhabitants explore the adjacent possible, because they expose a wide and diverse sample of spare parts--mechanical or conceptual--and they encourage novel ways of recombining those parts. Environments that block or limit those combinations--by punishing experimentation, by obscuring certain branches of possibility, by making the current state so satisfying that no one bothers to explore the edges--will, on average, generate and circulate fewer innovations than environments that encourage exploration." Page 41.
"The trick to having good ideas is not to sit around in glorious isolation and try to think big thoughts. The trick is to get more parts on the table." Page 42.
Concerning the supposed wisdom of the crowd vs. herd mentality - "This is not the wisdom of the crowd, but the wisdom of someone in the crowd. It's not that the network itself is smart; it's that the individuals get smarter because they are connected to the network." Page 58.
Concerning browsing and serendipity - "But serendipity is not just about embracing random encounters for the sheer exhilaration of it. Serendipity is built out of happy accidents, to be sure, but what makes them happy is the fact that the discovery you've made is meaningful to you. It completes a hunch, or opens up a door in the adjacent possible that you had overlooked." Page 108-109.
Bill Gates from Microsoft used to take annual reading vacations. He (and his successor Ray Ozzie) would "cultivate a stack of reading material--much of it unrelated to their day-to-day focus at Microsoft--and then they take off for a week or two and do a deep dive into the words they've stockpiled." Page 112-113.
More on browsing and serendipity - "But it [browsing on the web] is much more of a mainstream pursuit than randomly exploring the library stacks, pulling down books because you like the binding, ever was. This is the irony of the serendipity debate: the thing that is being mourned has actually gone from a fringe experience to the mainstream of the culture." Page 118. I am not sure that I agree with this. There is a bit of research that shows that browsing and serendipity was important in the print world of the library, too. Here is one good article, final version is behind a paywall...
Concerning the market of ideas and intellectual property - "All of the patterns of innovation we have observed in the previous chapters--liquid networks, slow hunches, serendipity, noise exaptation, emergent platforms--do best in open environments where ideas flow in unregulated channels. In more controlled environments, where the natural movement of ideas is tightly restrained, they suffocate." Page 232. Yes, yes, yes. Let's get scholarly research out from behind paywalls.
"Most academic research today is fourth-quadrant in its approach: new ideas are published with the deliberate goal of allowing other participants rerefine and build upon them, with no restrictions on their circulation beyond proper acknowledgement of their origin." Page 233.
Concerning walled information gardens - "Participants in the fourth-quadrant don't have those costs; they can concentrate on coming up with new ideas, not building fortresses around the old ones." Page 235.
"Whatever its politics, the fourth quadrant has been an extraordinary space of human creativity and insight. Even without the economic rewards of artificial scarcity, fourth-quadrant environments have played an immensely important role in the nurturing and circulation of good ideas--now more than ever." Page 239.
Thomas Jefferson noted: "That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition...." Johnson noted: "Ideas, Jefferson argues, have an almost gravitational attraction toward the fourth quadrant. The natural state of ideas is flow and spillover and connection. It is society that keeps them in chains." page 241.
Another good line concerning the Internet - "There are good ideas, and then there are good ideas that make it easier to have other good ideas." Page 243.
Overall, I liked the book. I highly recommend it.

Went to the NCAR Library yesterday, and it was good
Some of the members of the DU Student Chapter of SLA went to the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Library yesterday. We had a good time meeting with two of the Archives staff, Matthew Ramey and Kate Legg. I learned about a bunch of things that they are doing, some of which are:
- Making a mobile page using Boopsie. They will roll that out some time in January 2012
- Recording oral histories
- Creating videos from their collection of films, and loading up some of them to the NCAR Archives YouTube site, such as this one
- They are continuing to add lots to their Digital Collections and process material for other collections
What should OA publishers work on next?
An OA publisher representative asked me. "What would you like to see ... publishers doing
that they aren’t now to help promote growth of OA? Outside of supporting it
more, obviously ;). Any specific steps you’d like to see us make?"
I responded with:

Hi XXX,
Sorry it took me a while to respond… I’ve been thinking about how and what to write back.
1) I would like to see some more experiments in different peer-review systems. Other scientists have argued for reviews to take place after the article is published, similar to the Faculty of 1000. (But that system is extra review after the pre-publication peer reviewing is already done.) Why not make the post publication review the peer review? This way, the publications can make it out to the public faster.
Here are some good posts and reports concerning the convoluted peer review system we have now.

PEER REVIEW IN ACADEMIC PROMOTION AND PUBLISHING: ITS MEANING, LOCUS, AND FUTURE.by Dr. Diane Harley and Sophia Krzys Acord. We had Diane Harley come to our campus last year, and here is her presentation. See the third video down, http://library.du.edu/penrosepen/videos-from-the-provost-conference
There are lots of other good writers and scientists who would like to see faster publication through different arrangements of peer review.
2) Could you get my faculty to understand all of the different models and systems of scholarly communication out there? Get the university’s administrators to modify the tenure and promotion system to encourage more openness? (Yeah, this is a tough one.)

Does it pay to beat your head against the traditional publishing wall?
I just submitted this title to the Science Online 2012 conference. What do you think of it? If it gets approved, who would like to see speak at this session?
Does it pay to beat your head against the traditional publishing wall?
Most academic scientists are still concerned with publishing in "traditional" journals because they are rewarded the most for publishing articles in those outlets. However, many scientists are beginning to see the advantages of publishing in new venues and Open Access journals. Should one argue with traditional publishers and their backers concerning the unsustainable scholarly communications model we are currently in, or will that exercise be futile? John Wilbanks noted: "So don’t waste breath fighting with people on the internet. Keep driving train tracks into the ground, relentlessly. Never stop building infrastructure, never stop using existing standards, never stop creating new businesses and projects that recognize open as infrastructure. That’s how we win."

My library day
This should be a short little piece about #libday7. I've taken part in #libday in the past, but only back to Libday4.
On Monday, July the 25th, I got into work a little late, since I needed to drop my 11 year old kid off at a summer camp. It is just a week long camp at the Littleton Town Hall Arts Center. He is learning about comedy and improvisation.
Of course, email is the first thing that I slog through, and I had a lot of it to slog through. I was off work last Thursday afternoon and Friday. (We went out camping with the Boy Scout Troop at the Wilderness on Wheels camp about an hour SW of here. One of the kids designed a bench [we helped him build it] and ran a fishing and camping workshop as an eagle scout project.) Over the weekend, I read some of the more important messages, but I left the non-essential messages till Monday.
Soooooooo, here are some of the topics of emails that I responded to.
During the rest of the afternoon, I worked as a peer reviewer for the journal, Practical Academic Librarianship. This is a great new journal from the Academic Division of SLA. I read most of the paper last week, but it took me a little while to write the reviewers report concerning the article that was assigned to me. This is the first time that I have been a peer reviewer for a journal, so I wasn't sure how much feedback to provide, so it took me a while to write out my response and thoughts about the article.
That was pretty much my day. Exciting, huh.

Over the weekend, I read some of the more important messages, but I left the non-essential messages till Monday.
Soooooooo, here are some of the topics of emails that I responded to.
- I let the reference faculty and staff know that the new interface of the Web of Knowedge (WoK) doesn't work very well with IE9.
- Last week, we changed all of the URLs for the databases we have in the WoK interface except for the Journal Citation Reports which hold the impact factor data. I requested that someone from our E-Resources team change that URL as well.
- The Penrose Library is going through a huge renovation project. I tweeted a little bit (from the Penrose Library account) about the fact that a big fence is going around the old library on Tuesday the 26th.
- I received the final signed version of the Governing Document for the Sci-Tech Division of SLA. I posted the document on the DST website the following day.
- I worked with some people concerning an article that was submitted to the journal, Collaborative Librarianship. This took quite a bit of time to get resolved, with many emails back and forth. I also write small blog posts for Collaborative Librarianship News. I didn't write anything on Monday, but I did on Tuesday. We now have over 500 blog posts!
- Got an email concerning the Handheld Librarian Conference (which is going on as I write), but I have too much other work to do today to register for it. (Such as: finish this blog post; work on an article for the Sci-Tech News; begin work on a section of the Reference Department Annual Report; continue work on an article concerning Open Access Resources with a colleague in Egypt.)
- I registered for a webinar concerning the Mendeley service on Tuesday. The presentation was captured on YouTube. (Read that Beth also attended!)
- Saw this announcement about a free online conference, Library 2.011, and I might try to present something at it.
- I also marked three items in my delicious account. They were: Social media find place in classroom - USATODAY.com; British Research Libraries Say No to ‘Big Deal’ Serials Packages - Wired Campus - The Chronicle of Higher Education; and The Future of Universities and Their Libraries - Committee Report - June 2011 | ALA Connect
- Investigate a problem with the footer of the library website.
- Swap a consultation shift with a colleague.
