The IFLA Information Futures Summit is coming up in Brisbane, Australia -- a great opportunity to connect with library and information sector colleagues from around the world. Join me there! #IIFS2024

Multiple paths to Open library infrastructure https://t.co/2DAxupX7Hs -- the latest installment in a series of posts on the Open landscape.

@DevinFitzger Ok if colleague follows up by email to your ucla address? (Congrats on new gig, btw!)

[Constance Malpas @ConstanceM]

@DevinFitzger Hi Devin...former RLG-er here :-) Just wanted to reassure you that records from the Chinese Rare Book Catalog project did make it into WorldCat. I can put you in touch with a colleague who can provide more details, if you like? Feel free to DM me.

What a treat to reconnect with @denoshea and reminisce about old times @NYAMHistory and NN/LM MAR #ALAAC23

[Constance Malpas @ConstanceM]

@mbreeding @lisacarlucci In my (lengthy ;-) intro I referenced a series of blog posts on the complex 'Open' landscape in which libraries are operating -- https://t.co/8vmVTub23H -- extensible/interoperable/open library technology is part of this broad, sometimes blurry space.

[Constance Malpas @ConstanceM]

I enjoyed the discussion at @mbreeding #alaexecpanel #ALAAC23 with @lisacarlucci, Sebastian Hammer, and Tom Jacobson. Great to have questions directly from the audience!

[Constance Malpas @ConstanceM]

@TAC_NISO thanks for live-tweeting Marshall's panel session :-)

Some reflections on @OCLC Research's recent work on library collaboration. There is an incredibly rich record of libraries acting collectively from which to draw lessons, guidance, and inspiration for future collaborations.

"The moral of the story? Partnering decisions informed by collections and resource sharing data analysis are more likely to be successful and mutually beneficial." Great blog post from my colleague @SHARESGuy

@OCLC Research hosts a blog, and I'll be blogging about #EFSForum there in the coming weeks. I invite you to subscribe to follow our thought leadership re: libraries, #RIM / #CRIS, #RDM, #socialinteroperability, #metadata, & much more @ https://t.co/Uq0moZ6TpP

[Constance Malpas @ConstanceM]

@thomasgpadilla Your view is that the latter category is the more 'legible'/impactful one today? Or are you saying there is some difference of opinions in favor of infra dev vs. workflow support?

[Constance Malpas @ConstanceM]

Some excellent insights here on the value technologists bring to library leadership -- especially in an environment where there is a new energy around 'build' options and expectations for interoperability, with many benefits/tradeoffs to be weighed. https://t.co/EWXrg8yFMa

"Librarians have so many internal, external, local, regional, national and international alliances, associations, coalitions, consortia, federations and other networks that they are finding it hard to track all their [...] partnerships." https://t.co/HyIWiQtIma

@martin_eve Great to see that you are taking up this project. Will you be using your blog (or maybe the CrossRef blog?) to provide updates? Curious to know if you arrived at a prioritization of the 5 areas you outlined in December...

[Constance Malpas @ConstanceM]

@OCLC And on a personal note, Chandra was a warm and welcoming colleague when I joined the #OCLCResearch team back in...yikes...2006!

[Constance Malpas @ConstanceM]

Chandra worked on a remarkably broad range of research topics @OCLC from characterizing the attributes of 'last copies', to user studies, to library marketing and strategic planning and much in between. Find links to many of her publications (1986-) here: https://t.co/yFsPUs4sIx

[UW–Madison iSchool @UWMadiSchool]

Chandra Prabha's story is one of the many reasons we love our alums so much. Her career was inspired back in the early 70s as a patron of the @madisonlibrary & she went on to a remarkable career in research at @OCLC . https://t.co/82tSQaL33d @uwcdis @uwmadisonls @WisAlumni
