Coincidentally, the library police showed up shortly after this video was shot because people at the Capitol building had spotted what looked like a potential snipper on the roof of the Library of Congress. The library police came barging into the meeting to question some of our actions (rightfully so!).

Ben talks about how to enable a low level storage API for all basic repository / content management systems.

This is a shout out to Tim, an absolute rock-star of a CRIGian! Plans for the US CRIG Chapter coming soon!

The EduWeb Awards had the University of Chicago as the winning web site (CMS). It was aclaimed for its minamalistic design, but we thought it could even take it a step further by utilising the Google minamalist search approach. We also thought it might be worth looking into Google SiteMaps to provide a common way of presenting University web sites to the user which could be optimised via the kinds of searches that took place on the local search engine.Point being that better search facilities (analytics) should be put into the institutional search engine so as to guaratee that the user is getting back what they want.

We discovered a very real need by both the CMS and Repository community for not repeating ourselves in trying to get the same information into both systems.
