2014-09-14: Questions after twenty years on the web
I have had this site since 1995, but the oldest parts are in fact
from 1994, which makes twenty years of presence on the web. There are a lot
of thoughts around this. For example, should I keep the site or through it
away? If I keep it, should I stick to having English as its main language?

2010-11-25: Peer review and request for comments
Laurent Romary and myself have authored an RFC. That means a
Request For Comments. I now understand why.

2010-04-14: Is Google Making us Stupid?
Having had a web site for about 15 years, I start to wonder why I
keep it in the first place.

2010-02-25: Why you need a persistence strategy
Here I go through some of the arguments why you need to implement a
persistence strategy. We also conclude that the hypertext link is the single
thing that makes the Worldwide web to a web. Hence it is a serious thing. If
you're working within the digital library world you should be devoted to the
hypertext link.

2010-02-23: The URN:NBN is dead and resurrection is meaningless
I'm one of those who try to base all decisions on facts. Politics
belong to the strategic field, and in that field the only thing I can offer
is advice.

2010-02-21: The proliferation of redundant meaning
I first used the term semantic drift about 10 years ago. It was a
real danger then, it still is but the proliferation of synonymous
vocabularies is worse still.

2010-02-17: Amazon, Adobe & Apple
My attitude towards eBooks has always been negative. Why should we lock content into proprietary formats. The sitution has changed.

2009-09-20: Att tjäna den demokratiska kulturnationens minne
Jag har arbetat med att programmera digitala bibliotek i ungefär 15
år. När jag läser debatten om biblioteket i Sydsvenskan känner jag att jag
borde säga något. Jag vet inte i vilken utsträckning mitt perspektiv kommer
att kännas relevant för alla de som känner sig kallade att yttra sig, men
jag har en hel del erfarenheter som nog de flesta andra saknar.

2009-08-03: What does Free mean for The Library
Blogging is out, and the new trend is to tweet in
Twitters. Syndication is out as well, since Google steals your content and
you cannot make money on journalism. How can we survive when all media are
free?

2007: Usage of digital resources with respect to method of publishing
I compared the usage of Digital material in relation to whether
the material was hidden away in the the library opac or published on our
web site. The result was as expected a disappointment for those who regard
the Library catalogue as an important vehicle for dissemination of digital
material

2004: Vad händer med biblioteket när dess samlingar finns överallt och
ingen särskild stans?
Biblioteken existerar för att det finns användare som är beredda
att betala för deras tjänster. Visserligen betalar man i regel via
skattesedeln och inte med sitt betalkortet, men principen är densamma.
Under vilka förutsättningar är användarna, eller deras valda
representanter, redo att betala för bibliotekens tjänster? Går det att
finansiera lokalt bibliotek när biblioteksresurserna finns överallt och
ingen särskild stans? Vilken kommun eller vilket universitet kan
finansiera ett bibliotek som bara har en katalog, men inga samlingar? Och
när allt kommer omkring, vem vill ha samlingar och varför? De är ju dyra
och tar plats.

NB
My name is Sigfrid Lundberg. The stuff I publish here may, or may not, be of interest for anyone else.
On this site there is material on photography, music, literature and other stuff I enjoy in life. However, most of it is related to my profession as an Internet programmer and software developer within the area of digital libraries. I have been that at the Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen (Denmark) and, before that, Lund university library (Sweden).
The content here does not reflect the views of my employers. They are now all past employers, since I retired 1 May 2023.
