Lee Zia, the NSF program officer for NSDL, continued his tradition of closing the annual meeting by sharing haiku he composes about digital libraries. Here are this year’s offerings:
Web two-point-zero;
Veni, vidi, wiki, blog;
Two-way trumps one-way!
Sacrifice control,
But gain mind share. Through usage,
Determine value.
Reuse, repackage,
Repurpose; it’s a mindset.
But recognize too!
For custom service;
Privacy as currency?
A new world beckons.
Teachable moments.
Formal blurs to informal,
And then back again.
Embrace the spectrum
From sandbox to reviewed gem,
Tap the social mind!
