The development of "Off the Books" - a missed opportunity






My respect for bibliographic work of any kind is pronounced. First, I myself could be more life time of indexing and cataloging of printed sources passed than I care to do so by the victim and the selflessness of the bibliographer to sing a song. Secondly, I am grateful users of a variety of new bibliographic services, all of course the Google search engine and Google scans. As anyone who's at home in a matter feels, I judge, therefore, very directly and frankly about the people in this garden. Where half-measures or absurdities are produced, I'm talking Tacheles as the uncle with his nephew - it remains so in the family.

Misfortunes worm has taken the largely mindless attempt by a developer of the contributions from the - make the stock market Journal Supplement bookseller, the bookseller, "Off the Books", online - even self-published.

is first a formal fundamental mistake to blame, which in itself seems so terribly old-fashioned and impractical to make them sufficient, to have to mourn the user. Because the two agents have unhappy - as if it were a worthy term paper - although obviously in A utopsie can do, the lyrics are always so near him and had to hand. That has not prevented herunterzubeten simply stubborn and without exception the title. Article titles are now in high literary standing environment - that has "from the bookseller" from the beginning understood - often very meaningful. The learned author strives rather a noble, artistic or artificially scarce title. About the content, the practical usability, the depth of the development, jointly managed issues, etc. is often said almost nothing, if we just headed have listed.

If I have the article already in post mortem at hand, I'm - I suppress here Verbalinjurien only with difficulty - invited to the thunder, content keywords to create even better, some form of short development. To nasführen the reader completely, the agents are still falling on the idea to provide accessible only the first page or column. Why should the reader want to know because if he has a short note or a single column 15seitigen essay on?

Heavy but weighs the second fundamental error - which is to me the best (or, as here, the worst) the content is, if I do not the media have to hand? We are, dear sir beasts, no more in the dawn of 1990. If I now indexing, I must take care also about whether and how the texts are actually available. Everyone knows that there is nothing to "gain" is heavier than the contents of recent journals! In most libraries, I must sigh AdA even order for any addition to archives, half a day in advance, if you please, and photocopies of exception ...

ie, that our editor Beasley presents here a work that in practice, quite simply, can not be used. Who is involved in the organization of the Association like him, who is also the possibility of these texts

* would have to be online.

Furthermore, he says not a word. The booksellers have anyway AdA are with them in the reference library? I bet my winter coat, that among the six hundred serious colleagues - have a reasonably complete are 20 or even longer sequence of annual volumes in itself. 20 of 600! The rest sit insulted and disappointed but before the long list of interesting texts.

In this blog you are strong words used to - here it is: A poorly created content list in which the tracks were written simply, in which not even the page numbers are up-expressed, was in not thinking of any content analysis - and the eo ipso useless and pointless appears because the underlying source is concealed from the average user and is kept secret.

horse and rider must be mentioned, even if the individual does in pain: Here you have all done a Kafkaesque Beteiliogten performance. How well you would but you can set up with better indexing and a large network publication of texts, a marketing tool to boost the image of the stock market club with booksellers and book collectors, for the good of all concerned.
