Creative Commons and Beyond

With Creative Commons I was greatly pleased to see that someone has addressed the situation of the exploitation of creative output on the internet. It's not pleasant to think of the internet with all it's possibilities being used in a negative way. Ethics are important, they are part of a civilized way of life.

I checked out the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg county front end. To me it looks very busy. But when you look with the eyes of a child, it would seem a lot of fun. You'd want to try everything, not knowing what you actually want.

The most important thing is to change the focus. Not what would I like but what would you like. Then what we are seeing come up makes a lot more sense and will prove more congruent with our strategic values in the Library.
