Wyoming State Library announces intent to purchase 3M Cloud Library as ‘early adopter’

November 15, 2011

The Wyoming State Library is happy to announce that the Wyoming State Library will contract with 3M to become an early adopter of 3M’s Cloud Library. We hope to begin implementation in January 2012 and we hope that this downloadable eBook platform will provide a good solution for our state. More details about this new service will follow as we begin implementation, but here is brief review of some of the features.

• Every library in the WYLDcat system will have access to a shared site with a shared collection. (Unfortunately, 3M cannot currently work with multiple authentication services, so UW patrons cannot be included in the license.)
• We will purchase title-by-title and will own the titles we purchase. Like most other downloadable eBook platforms, 3M employs a one-book, one-user-at-a-time model.
• New titles can be added to the group collection and will be accessible to everyone. Some Wyoming libraries have already offered to contribute funds to add more titles to our collection.
• 3M currently works with most eReaders except for Kindle. We know that this is a disadvantage. 3M also knows that this is a serious disadvantage for their product and they are currently negotiating with Amazon.
• 3M has developed eReaders that can be purchased by libraries and circulated among patrons.

Again, we will know more soon and will keep you informed as the implementation progresses. If you have questions, please ask and The State Library will do their best to find the answers. Also, please refer to the 3M Cloud Library overview for more information, or to this short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOYSQv-12RY.

Return of the Scottish Paper Sculptor

The Scottish library and museum paper sculptor has returned!

The anonymous paper sculptor, who has left exquisite paper creations in several libraries and museums in Scotland (Shelf Awareness, September 20, 2011), recently left three more items in the Scottish Poetry Library, NPR reported. The items are a cap that looks like a wren, gloves and a note saying that these were the last of 10 sculptures that the sculptor is leaving, and that she plans to remain anonymous. The sculptures, she said, are thank-you gestures “in support of special places.”

The Keeper of Lost Causes

by Jussi Adler-Olsen, trans. by Tiina Nunnally (August 23, 2011)
9780525952480

Carl Mørck is back at work after being on sick leave, an innocuous term for what had happened to him: on a dead-body call, he and two colleagues were gunned down. In only five minutes, “Anker lay on the floor in a pool of blood, Hardy had taken his last steps, and the fire inside Carl was extinguished–the fire that was absolutely essential for a detective in the homicide division of the Copenhagen Police.” Mørck is no longer himself, the ace detective who lived and breathed his work; the tall, elegant man now has deep shadows under his eyes and an expression of profound indifference. At the station, he’s argumentative and disruptive, and his fellow officers are fed up. But a plan emerges with a funding mandate from a government official, who has decreed that a new department, called Q, be set up to look into “cases deserving special scrutiny.” Cold, hopeless cases. Perfect: put Mørck in charge and move him to the basement, far away from everyone.
