Collection Development for My Random Life.

So these are some recent concerts I am interesting in attending…

Totalfest – Missoula

Boise Experimental Music Festival 3

It is interesting to me that some of these posters are valued as art in themselves and even go so far as to have gallery shows for them like this. Among others out there on the web (* just do a search on google or whatever *)

This tugs at me to consider WHY library posters don’t receive the same consideration? Where are the art shows of library posters? Are library posters art? I have half-a-mind to remedy this situation and I just might. So stay tuned.

Corbis Readymech Cameras

Pretty cool and pretty D.I.Y. You can download, cut out and paste together one from the above website. The instructions on how to take pictures are on the download info.

Wikipedia entry on pinhole cameras

I would love see/create library of pinhole camera images.

Thanks to Core77.com for hipping me to this…

I love the Information Aesthetics blog, here they note visual design of search interfaces:
visual search engines – data visualization & visual design – information aesthetics

Libraries really need to think about how their websites, databases, and online catalog appear. Maybe we can take a page from one of the designs shown at Information Aesthetics
