The future of ebooks

31 Thursday May 2012

Posted by David Haden in Spotted in the news

Publishers Weekly has a perceptive new article on the future of ebooks, A Soft Landing on Normandy…

“Almost every single startup that is delivering authoring tools — either for designing and producing content, maintaining a full-bore content management system, or simply supporting an interim level of annotations or fragmentation — is building their own proprietary web-based layer that is largely HTML5-based yet also capable of linking to software development kits and libraries needed to support the export of rich app experiences. In other words, everything is baroque, and nothing in the standards space works well enough across the range of possible uses to be a default rendering environment. It is very much as if we are back in the Middle Ages scribbling on parchment, whittling our own quills from feathers we have on hand, drawing up whatever ink we have available. Our 21st Century parchment is a world-wide digital canvas, but our quills are hand-crafted.”

That can potentially make sense for presenting high quality specialist non-fiction/textbooks with complex layouts, which I’d suggest is where these startups may be going with these tools. If they can create a system easy enough for small and mid-sized publishers to use, but which can produce faithful / easy-to-update / app-friendly expensive non-fiction in iPad editions, then they stand a chance of a buyout by a major publisher — who might then polish and sell the system to smaller publishers, along with a rights lock-in.

JURN Search checked and updated

24 Thursday May 2012

≈ Leave a comment

JURN Search has been fully checked for the continuing presence of indexed articles on the Google Search results, via the use of adapted software meant for checking SEO backlinks. The last such in-depth ‘linkrot’ check and repair was undertaken in January 2012. Both the Directory and the search-engine are now as sparkly clean as they can be.

Two new JISC reports

20 Sunday May 2012

Posted by David Haden in Economics of Open Access, Official and think-tank reports

≈ Leave a comment

A new JISC report released this month, “Benefits of Open Access to Scholarly Research to the Public Sector“, claims that the UK public sector saves £28.6 million through using open access content, although they still spend £135m a year accessing paywalled information.

The voluntary and charitable sectors were also surveyed, in another JISC report called “Benefits of Open Access to Scholarly Research for Voluntary and Charitable Sector Organisations“.

17,900 new images from the Walters Art Museum

18 Friday May 2012

Posted by David Haden in Spotted in the news

≈ Leave a comment

The Waters Art Museum has added 17,900 new images to the Wikimedia Commons. Google’s indexed them all, and so they can now be searched via Google Images thus…

site:http://commons.wikimedia.org/ “Walters Art Museum”

Filtering by 2 megapixel size shows that the Walters Art Museum now has 14,400 decently-sized images accessible via Google Images, and they’re without watermarks. The test download image I tried was found to be at 300dpi. The licence is Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike — somewhat questionable, since the works that are in the public domain might more usefully be CC Attribution.

WikiPaintings

13 Sunday May 2012

Posted by David Haden in Spotted in the news

≈ Leave a comment

WikiPaintings is a new online encyclopedia of painting. It’s pretty well stocked, as well as having a nice clean interface. It mixes public domain works with copyright works, and sadly there’s no way to filter to get “just the public domain works, above 1800px in size” in search results.

Although you can go in via Google Images, with the following search:

site:http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/ “artwork is in the public domain”

This gets about 90,000 results. You can then refine by size in pixels.
