LbA's digital guide (thebookofhov.com) adds an accessible and deep layer to JAY-Z's massive takeover of the library. "It’s a place that feels comfortable. It’s not intimidating. A lot of people go to the museum, but a lot of people don’t." nytimes.com/2023/07/14/arts/…
"Everything around JAY-Z is source material." Working With General Idea, @RocNation, @BKLYNlibrary, and Special Production Agency, we developed the web-based mobile guide for JAY-Z's complete takeover of Brooklyn Public Library's Central Branch. And the desktop site for home use.

Our Willi Smith exhib of 2021 was a first—now, to begin to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we proudly launch another first: the Willi Smith Street Couture Digital Exhibition—our first exhib for our new platform that redesigns the way exhibs are experienced s.si.edu/willismithex

Proud to have created the halftone murals, oversize signage, and (coming soon) wayfinding and bookends for BPL's new branch! Also, no late fees!
For the first time in almost 40 years, Brooklyn Public Library is welcoming a new branch to the system. Say hello to Adams Street Library! bklynlibrary.org/locations/a…
On an uncertain Sunday in NYC, two events to check out. Our design & systems help @TheShedNY stream its digital version of Claudia Rankine's meditation on white privilege. As she asks, "If it’s raining, can we all agree it is raining?” Tonight thru Nov 7, theshed.org
Last nite at #MCN2019 our partners @JacobKSKim (@hirshhorn) & Kelsey Cvach (@NMADmuseum), with Samia Khan (@airandspace), previewed the expansion of our Hirshhorn Eye product to other Smithsonian museums & beyond – like African Art, Afr. Am. History & Culture, & Natural History.
Proud to talk at #MCN2019 about @TheShedNY’s At The Shed feature together with @whitneymuseum ‘s @colinbooks and @metmuseum ‘s @Borina - representing pre-visit/on-premise/post-visit web experiences at three great NYC culture orgs. Lots of great questions and perspective!
Excited to be at #MCN2019 ! I’ve been thinking since yesterday about @TheTonyaNelson’s framework for digital projects for culture: connection, empathy, self awareness, empowerment.

LOVING the @TheShedNY site design. Makes me all goosebumpy at the prospects of UX design. #MCN2019

This week's catalog of names of online library catalogs: HALAN .. HAPI .. HATHITRUST .. HEURIST .. HKALL .. HOLLIS .. IBIBLIO .. IDISCOVER .. ILLIAD .. INFOR IGUANA .. INFOTRAC .. INFOVISION .. INGENTA CONNECT .. INSPEC .. IPAC .. JSTOR .. JURN .. KEYSTONE .. KOHA .. KULINE
GEO-LEO is a library metasearch engine and digital publishing platform about the Earth and the universe. It has a great brand name featuring assonance and internal rhyme (YouTube, Coca-Cola) and a star constellation. It is let down by its backronym (GEO Library Experts Online).
Greetings! Do you like lists of lists? Weather forecasts in capital letters? Trademarks? Numbers stations? Here's this week's catalog of names of online library catalogs:
FACTIVA .. FIRSTSEARCH .. FOLIO .. FOLLETT .. FRANKLIN .. GALE .. GEO-LEO .. GEOREF .. GREENFILE
(1/4) A library technology pun. DISCOVERED is the discovery layer for the University of EDinburgh's library.
(3/4) The goal of a discovery layer is often to create a more contemporary-feeling, web-like search. A raft of interaction design floating on an ocean of structured data.
(4/4) Discovery layers also often search several underlying catalog systems at once. Crossover time: Our Digital Archive interface for the New Museum (instagram.com/p/Bz80DJpBybP/) is a discovery layer for NM's Collective Access database, merged w/ content that is native to our CMS.
On the way to covering the brand names of online library catalogs in 6 continents: DEDALUS .. DISCOVERED .. DISCOVERY .. DRAGON .. DRAM .. DYABOLA .. EBSCO .. ECONBIZ .. ECONLIT .. EEBO .. ELIBCAT .. ENCORE .. EQUINOX .. ERIC .. ESPLORO .. EVIA .. EXLIBRIS
(1/3) BIBLIONIX has a nice business strategy and a great motto: "POWER TO PUBLICS." It works exclusively with public libraries with holdings under 300,000.
(2/3) A family-owned business, all their staff volunteer or work part time at public libraries so they practice what they make – a philosophy we feel some affinity with too.
