Submitted by Lori Ayre on Sat, 11/04/2006 - 4:00pmTwo researchers at Penn State have developed a tool for automatically associating keywords with images. In their article "Real-Time Computerized Annotation of Pictures," authors Jia Li (Associate Professor, Department of Statistics) and James Wang (Associate Professor,College of Information Sciences and Technology), say their ALIPR system (Automatic Linguistic Indexing of Pictures-Real Time) analyzes the pixel content of images and compares that against a stored knowledge base of the pixel content of tens of thousands of image examples.

Submitted by Lori Ayre on Thu, 09/07/2006 - 5:00pmPer BiblioTech, two more California libraries have decided to move to RFID. El Dorado County Library has chosen TechLogic and will roll out RFID as part of the construction of a new branch. Riverside County has chosen P.V. Supa. My concern with the choice to implement RFID today is that libraries may get stuck holding the bag when the data model standard finally gets adopted. The good news is that there is finally some progress being made in that regard.
