OPACPress: building a social, semantic, devolved, distributed union catalogue
Joss has beaten me to blogging this, so rather than think for myself I’m just going to quote him in full.
Yesterday, I submitted a proposal to Talis under their Incubator fund. If successful, I would have the pleasure of working with Paul Stainthorp, E-Resources Librarian at the University of Lincoln, and Casey Bisson, Information Architect at Plymouth State University. The bid is to develop an idea which I’ve posted about before, based on Casey’s work on Scriblio and our adventures with WordPress MU, in particular, JISCPress.
Anyway, rather than re-iterating the bid here. You can read it in full by clicking here.
Comments are very welcome. Thanks.

Phase II opening @ Holbeach
Documentary evidence that L&LR staff really did attend the official opening of the National Centre for Food Manufacturing (the “Phase II” building) at Holbeach Campus, on Friday 27th March 2009…
L-R: Julie Smith, Paul Stainthorp, Daniella Nundy. Background: Ishida processing/packaging line
The building was opened by Sir Stuart Rose, chairman-executive of Marks & Spencer, and the event was attended by the Vice-Chancellor, the Dean of Riseholme College, staff, students and graduates of the University, representatives of local food companies and organisations, and the County & District councils.
“The second phase of Holbeach’s development is a £3.5m specialist education, training and research facility build to food factory specification. The building is backed by the employers’ organisation the Process and Packaging Machinery Association (PPMA). The facility is fitted with state-of-the-art food manufacturing equipment, much of it sponsored by PPMA member Ishida Europe and includes automated fresh food weighing and packaging lines with robotic case packing.”
No jokes about the campus facilities, please...
Welcome to the new E-Resources Librarian!
Congratulations to Paul Stainthorp, who was appointed to the post of E-Resources Librarian on the 13th October. This is a three year secondment, and Paul will be working with key staff within L+LR and the wider University, to manage this significant resource to best effect.
