"#Gamification in #Libraries: A Bibliometric Study"
doi.org/10.18785/slis.1301.12

Gamification in Libraries: A Bibliometric Study
This bibliometric research proposal addresses the use of gamification in libraries. Articles for this proposal can be divided into the following subtopics: patron orientation and engagement, information literacy, library instruction, and staff training. Readers of this bibliometric study will be able to locate some of the more impactful articles about gamification in libraries. Library & Information Science Source, a database located within EBSCOhost’s collection of databases, was used to col…

#archive and #library folks - has anyone heard about laser-etched borosilicate glass as a high-density digital storage medium? They are claiming a data density of "4.8 TB in a 120 mm square, 2 mm thick piece of glass" and longevity in the thousands of years.

An optical archival storage technology based on femtosecond laser direct writing in glass addresses the practical demands of archival storage.

The other picolibc project this week is to (finally) put together a coding standard and reformat all of the code. I'm wondering if others have experience with this particular transition and if you all have advice and guidance about how to make this less disruptive. Of course, bike-shedding about the actual format is highly encouraged.

Jellyfin started "missing" new videos that were being added to the library, so decided it was time for a rebuild. Ended up using the new homelab baseline (Debian 13/`trixie`) and the install was pretty smooth. Used an NFS share for the `cache` and `metadata` directories, and it even scraped all the videos. Still had a ton of mismatches, but nothing too horrible.

Today in the drizzle I stopped by the Living Library, a beautiful native plant garden near SF's Balboa Park at the San Jose/Seneca intersection. Highly recommend a visit to see some #ceanothus in bloom and California poppies and island mallows beginning to, and much more.

A lush green garden with various shrubs and forbs, a curving stone path to the left, a couple of trees, and there's a two-story school building with sand-colored walls off to the side. There's an information panel that's too distant to make out the text in this photo.
A shrub with large leaves and a few small pink flowers. Seems to be Malva assurgentiflora, or island mallow.
A row of two or three shrubs that look like one shrub at first glance, but there are two distinct types of flowers: one variety is more blue-indigo and larger, the other is smaller and purple. They have dark green leaves and are something in the Ceanothus genus, or mountain lilac.
Information panel titled: "California Native Plants: The ecological benefits of planting Native San Francisco. Life frames a living library." A bunch of text I can't fit here about the benefits of planting native, restoring nature, one plant at a time. A colorful drawing shows some California native plants and their associated pollinators: California poppy and native bees, milkweed and monarch butterfly, yarrow and hummingbird, buckwheat and native bee, toyon and cedar waxwing.

Library Futures: Information Literacy in the Age of GenAi: my slides, notes, and an addendum
This post includes my presentation made before the Library Futures panel discussion about Ai and IL. It also includes an addendum of a couple points I wish I could have added at the time.
