“We separated print resources and e-resources because ‘clearly’ they are completely different beasts. Are they so separate and distinct to users’ mind? Not so much. But we separate them for the efficiency of ‘our’ operation. Users pay by being forced to take an additional step. Probably a decision as bad as Netflix and Qwikster.” Netflix and Libraries: You Are What “Your Users” Think You Are, Not What You Think You Are – Library Hat (via shrinkinglibrarian)

Visual artist Tacita Dean argues for a boutique film lab in the UK. Her plea stems from Soho Film Lab’s recent decision to stop making 16mm film prints. I agree that analog and digital should exist together in the world—for film, music, photography, books, etc. Life would be so boring if we didn’t have options: I may watch “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” on my laptop through Netflix’s instant streaming on Saturday, and then attend a 16mm screening of a German sex education film on Sunday. Sounds like a dreamy weekend to me.
