Library geekery & Arrested Development

Read Here

Mostly this isn’t for Kenny, but to show same subject/ different contexts. Yea for framing. Because the people on my class discussion boards are tired of me trying to frame things interestingly, and would rather recap boringly, y’all can read this.

The concept of the long tail was popularized in the library community by last month’s Internet Librarian Conference: (from an earlier schwagbag post )

Idea of the long tail: we are not in a hit-driven era anymore. Between 40-50% of monthly sales are for long tails products with examples such as Amazon and Netflix. People are discovering these things through recommendation systems, and other social networking means (del.icio.us, blogs, etc).
