Seyem, thought you might get a laugh from this:
 
 
Sitting on the side of the road waiting to catch speeding drivers, 
a state trooper sees a car puttering along at 22 mph.  
He thinks to himself, "This driver is as dangerous as a speeder!"

So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.  
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five elderly ladies-
two in the front seat and three in the back, wide-eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, 
"Officer, I don't understand.  I was going the exact speed limit.
What seems to be the problem?"
The trooper trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that 
22 was the route number, not the speed limit.

A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for
pointing out her error.  "But before you go, Ma'am, I have to ask, is
everyone in this car OK?  "These women seem awfully shaken."

"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer.
We just got off Route 127."

Ever wished for a way to search old TranLib messages?  Well now there is a way:


   http://www.its.berkeley.edu/library/tranlib/index.html


Open up one of these pages and use your browser's search function.  If it doesn't look like the entire text of the message you want is there, you may have to scroll right in your browser window because there's no word-wrap with these pages.  It's rather inelegant, but it works.

To Department of Transportation and University Libraries:

 

As part of a research exchange program that Portland Cement Association maintained for many years (and recently, unfortunately, let slide due to time), the PCA Library sent an annual shipment of its research publications to DOT libraries and to selected university libraries at schools with strong civil engineering programs.

 

Since previous distribution lists probably missed some of the DOT’s and universities, I would like to set up a new distribution list, and would appreciate hearing from those of you who are interested in receiving PCA's current research literature on a complimentary basis.  The subject coverage is fairly broad but focuses on concrete construction, cement technology, and materials-related issues that include pavements and bridges.

 

PCA has just issued a new edition of a DVD, Concrete Research Library, which contains over 1,000 concrete-related PCA reports from 1916 through 2005. It is sold for $85.00 in our online Bookstore (www.cement.org/Bookstore), and we would make that available to interested transportation libraries along with a number of other publications issued during 2005. In 2005, we issued a similar collection on DVD for cement-related research (DVD020 – 1,700 reports, $125.00), which we would also include.

 

As for the "exchange" part... if you have literature to supply in exchange, we would be very interested in receiving it. While our primary motivation is to disseminate PCA research, we would value being able to add published research from your organizations to our own collection. 

 

If you would like to be on the distribution, please let me know, and send me the specific contact information and mailing address for your library. We’ll put together a shipment within the next few weeks.

 

Thanks very much! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Connie,


The Michigan Dept. of Transportation Library would like to be included
in your research exchange program.  I do get limited copies of PCA
research reports, but I believe they come from individuals within our
department and I don't believe that we are on your list.


Please Send to:


Michigan Department of Transportation
Library B-155
PO Box 30050
425 West Ottawa Street
Lansing, MI  48909


I manage both the Michigan DOT main office library at the above address
and the Construction and Technology Library which is located in the
adjacent county from the main transportation administration building.


Thank you so much.

Hello –

 

Some time ago this agency adopted SharePoint for the agency intranet, but staff have been S L O W to buy in and actually use it. 

 

â—Š      Does anyone have a recommendation for an easy-to-use guide text to SharePoint, preferably with a good index to help users zero in on what they need?

◊      Does anyone have a cheat sheet for SharePoint’s most-used functions?

â—Š      Other suggestions or recommendations?

 

Thanks in advance.

Andrea,

 

My company is in the process of implementing SharePoint.  I would be interested in the responses you get.  I am certain getting the staff here to adopt the new technology will be a challenge.  Any ideas you could share would be greatly appreciated.

To Department of Transportation and University Libraries:

 

As part of a research exchange program that Portland Cement Association maintained for many years (and recently, unfortunately, let slide due to time), the PCA Library sent an annual shipment of its research publications to DOT libraries and to selected university libraries at schools with strong civil engineering programs.

 

Since previous distribution lists probably missed some of the DOT’s and universities, I would like to set up a new distribution list, and would appreciate hearing from those of you who are interested in receiving PCA's current research literature on a complimentary basis.  The subject coverage is fairly broad but focuses on concrete construction, cement technology, and materials-related issues that include pavements and bridges.

 

PCA has just issued a new edition of a DVD, Concrete Research Library, which contains over 1,000 concrete-related PCA reports from 1916 through 2005. It is sold for $85.00 in our online Bookstore (www.cement.org/Bookstore), and we would make that available to interested transportation libraries along with a number of other publications issued during 2005. In 2005, we issued a similar collection on DVD for cement-related research (DVD020 – 1,700 reports, $125.00), which we would also include.

 

As for the "exchange" part... if you have literature to supply in exchange, we would be very interested in receiving it. While our primary motivation is to disseminate PCA research, we would value being able to add published research from your organizations to our own collection. 

 

If you would like to be on the distribution, please let me know, and send me the specific contact information and mailing address for your library. We’ll put together a shipment within the next few weeks.

 

Thanks very much! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Matt,

 

Good! Glad to know you’re interested.

 

Does Idaho DOT produce reports that you might be able to make available to us as well? We would be interested in anything construction/bridge/pavement/environment-related. If you produce electronic reports and post them on your web site, do you have an email distribution for notification of new reports? If so, I’d be interested!

 

Thanks,

Connie

Jenny Osther: I don’t have this but I did note the following on the SEGD website, could that at least be related to the 1987 work? Is it possible whoever you contacted didn’t think of this CD as it’s not a “book”?

 

Recreation Symbols
Camera-ready artwork of 108 symbol signs for recreation-related facilities was developed by SEGD as a national system. Designed to relate to the DOT symbols. One CD in EPS format.

I tried.  They can't seem to find it.  I even gave the Federal Register information that states they have it.  Neither can NTIS or GPO.  I even checked DTIC, WorldCat, Scholar Google and Google.
 
Thanks for trying to help!

PS- it sounds like you are getting rain up there.  I use to live in Geneva and work in Chicago.

Here's some good stuff relating to our efforts to take our first baby steps in creating transportation knowledge networks:


First, from a recent note posted by Clifford Lynch, director of the Coalition for Networked Information:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The US National Library of Medicine does a fabulous job of mobilizing good thinkers to contribute to its ongoing long-term planning process. I had the good fortune to be able to participate in part of this process, and learned a great deal from it. The report from the planning effort is now available at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/plan/lrp06/lrp06_home.html and is well worth reading. It addresses interactions between information technology, biomedical research, large-scale social trends, and the evolving role of the National Library of Medicine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A quick review of that document will give you an idea of the gap between our efforts and theirs that benefits from about a 150 year head start.  However, as the following selection from one of the plan's supporting documents at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/plan/lrp06/panel1report.doc shows, amongst more advanced issues, they are also grappling with those we talked about at the recent TLCPFS meeting in Saint Paul http://www.ctcandassociates.com/lpfblog/?cat=12 .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.4. Objective 4:  Ensure permanent public access to biomedical literature and data and to associated information.


By 2016 the NLM's "virtual" collections - the information it makes available in electronic form * are expected to dwarf its physical holdings.  The shift from a primarily print world to a primarily digital information world not only is reshaping biomedical communication and information distribution, but also presents formidable challenges to those entrusted with ensuring access to and preservation of health and biomedical information. Long-term solutions must be sought to protect electronic journals, datasets, web documents, interactive publications and other formats on which 21st century research and education depends. Short-term solutions are needed now to prevent valuable digital information from disappearing in the interim.


As more and more publishers produce their journals and other materials only in electronic form, libraries are moving from ownership to licensed access with its concomitant restrictions on use and its lack of assurance that material will be available to future users and the general public. As space constraints become more acute, many libraries are removing lower-use print collections to gain space for collaboratory and individual study and research.  Many hospital libraries are closing; others are experiencing declining budgets that reduce critical frontline health personnel's access prohibit access to electronic resources. As scholarship and research are transformed, universities and medical institutions are producing much new scientific information exclusively in complex digital formats, requiring extensive technical infrastructure to preserve and validate over the long term. 


These trends serve to increase dependence on NLM as the guarantor of future access to biomedical information.  If NLM needed to deal only with preserving, in electronic form, the digital versions of stable journal articles, the problem would be difficult enough.  But in the ephemeral world of electronic scholarship, variant versions of articles exist and are proliferating, along with new formats that do not even fit the traditional concepts of journal articles.  Discoveries from non-traditional health professions and animal health fields are not easily found in the published literature databases or other repositories.  An unknown number of "published" online monographs undergo silent revisions, fallible articles are deleted as if they never existed, and much of the primary work of science is conducted and communicated prior to its documentation in the literature.


The technical, economic and policy issues (licensing, copyright and digital rights management, privacy, and standards) involved in preservation and access are massive and beyond the capability of individual libraries or institutions to resolve.  These issues must not be left solely to institutions or commercial entities that do not have the long-term stability or the commitment to the public good that will be required to sustain the long-term preservation effort needed.  NLM must take a leadership role in partnering with other stakeholders to support technical research, standards-based formats, development of geographically dispersed trusted repositories and other collaborative efforts to ensure preservation of and user-friendly persistent access to important commercial and non-commercial digital content.

Another excerpt from that supporting document at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/plan/lrp06/panel1report.doc 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although all five objectives are important, the Panel places particular emphasis on Objective 4: Ensure permanent public access to biomedical literature and data and to associated information. Beginning with John Shaw Billings, access to the biomedical literature is the rock on which NLM has built its distinguished record of service. It is the single institution qualified to lead the effort to assure that 21st century users will continue to enjoy such access.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's hope it doesn't take 150 years until a similar statement can be made about transportation literature and the NTL

Hello again!

 

I recently posted questions re SharePoint.  Thanks so much to Betsy Aldridge, Beth Autin, Lisa Autio, Jacqueline Goins, Elizabeth Gouwens, Debbie McGinnis and Heidi Wood for their help. Here’s a summary of replies (in no particular order):

 

I am in the process of building our SharePoint page so I bought books! Three of them! It helps to have the manuals, but I am still going through it slowly myself! I bought:

~*~*~*~*~

I recently bought some books for my library on SharePoint. One thing you may have already discovered is that there aren’t very many, and it can be hard to tell at first glance if they are written for your average SharePoint user or for the technical staff setting up SharePoint. 

 

Books I found that describe how to use SharePoint and don’t really get into the technical part of things like creating Web Parts:

 

â—Š       Microsoft Windows SharePoint services step-by-step ISBN: 073562075X

◊       Sam’s teach yourself Microsoft SharePoint 2003 in 10 minutes ISBN: 0672327236

â—Š       Microsoft SharePoint for dummies ISBN: 0764579398

 

On the more technical side, this book was recommended to me by one of our Analysts:

â—Š       Microsoft SharePoint products and technologies resource kit ISBN: 073561881X

 

But I haven’t had the books long enough to have gotten any feedback from my users on them.

 

~*~*~*~*~

Our people have found this helpful:

Microsoft Windows SharePoint services step-by-step

 

~*~*~*~*~

I found several tutorials on Sharepoint doing a Google search. However, you probably already know this...

 

~*~*~*~*~

SharePoint Office Pocket Guide has gotten good online reviews from users.

 

A pdf of what seems to be a useful cheat sheet:  http://aboutbearshare.berkeley.edu/training/Quick_Tips_for_SharePoint_End_Users.pdf  

 

And here’s a useful tutorial link (from the same source): http://aboutbearshare.berkeley.edu/training/default.htm  (Even tho the url is “Berkeley” it originates with Microsoft.)

 

~*~*~*~*~

 

Thanks again to the kind people who replied. (And again, my apologies for cluttering everyone’s inboxes with an incomplete summary.)

If, unlike most of Minnesota, you're not going to be tuning in to the Twins trying to redeem themselves in Oakland, you might want to check out "Peter R. Young at the National Agricultural Library:  Managing Knowledge Services at the Macro Level" http://www.smr-knowledge.com/eProfiles/e-Profile_10-03-06_Young_NAL.pdf.  Mr. Young was one of the experts who appeared before the NAS panel that developed "Transportation Knowledge Networks: A Management Strategy for the 21st Century" http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/sr/sr284.pdf.  BTW, I've already tipped off the author of the piece to the existence of a fifth national library overlooked in his piece.

Will it be Roman?  I got a note back from Guy saying he heard from someone else at 5:30AM.  Here's my reply."It's good to know Joyce (I assume) is also ever-vigilant."  Who else would be up at that hour?

This survey looks like one many of you might like to weigh in on. If you’ve received it from another list, please excuse any duplication. I received it from the SLA Central Wisconsin chapter; the sender is from Australia – the distribution and results must be intended to be quite inclusive. I’m looking forward to seeing the results.

My name is Katrina Hughes, and I am a librarian in Sydney, Australia.  I2007 I will be presenting a paper titled "Why are we still using hardcopy? , at Information Online 2007 in Sydney Australia. As part paper I will be presenting survey to show why we are still using hardcopy of documents, instead of the electronic versions of documents. I would appreciate it if you could take time to participate in the survey. The last day to do the survey is the 31st October. Below is the address of the survey.

The Transportation Library Pooled Fund Study is quite interested in the issues, challenges and standards of sound digitization policies and practices. Especially interesting is reconciling the motives behind digital initiatives with coherent standards for stability and access. Our annual meeting last month in St. Paul, MN featured a panel discussion, “Digitization: Creating Stability in Digital Document Collections”. The panel was moderated by Steve Cochran from Washington State DOT, one of our leading voices in the move toward smart digitization. In addition to our study partners at the meeting, we had several participants who logged on via WebEx (tip of the hat to WisDOT, our lead state for providing that), including Joyce Koeneman from NTL and Judy Cobb from OCLC, among many other welcome guests who shared their perspectives. 

 

Cheers!

Hello,


I am trying to find the current issue of a journal: “EU Transport Report”
(http://transport-report.com).


It was cited in an industry newsletter last week
(http://www.iru.org/EUenlargement/Welcome.E.html), making reference to new
OECD-ECMT research.


Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

Ever vigilant and an early riser.


And for those who are wondering... I am back in the office after having
my right hip replaced.  I am still walking with a cane, but not for long
I expect.  In fact, I may even try bicycling this weekend.  All went
well, I started driving this past week.  Driving is ok, getting in and
out of the car is the problem.  Also, a water bottle fell into my foot
space and scared me to ....  Because I could not bend over and get it.
I was luckily able to get off the road and handle it.  They tell you not
to drive for good reason.  


Thanks for all your good wishes, cards and letters.  I am happy to be
back.

I'm glad to hear that Joyce is up and about after the hip replacement
and that she's back responding to Jerry's e-mails 


I'm now in my third week at library school at Drexel. I'm taking Intro
to Information Systems Analysis, Info Resources and Services and
Professional and Social Aspects of Info Services. The Systems Analysis
course is required for both MSIS and MSLIS students so it's about half
of each. This is the course I worry about! In Info Resources we're
learning to search Dialog and it's not as easy as I thought it would be.



Being a virtual student is also something new. It took me the whole
first week to find my way around "campus" - dropping and adding a class,
getting textbooks and figuring out how to use BlackBoard.


Pros: Going to library school has really gotten me out of my comfort
zone. I've also gotten to meet (virtually) some pretty cool students and
professors. There is really more interaction than I thought there would
be.
Cons: No one's invited me to any keggers yet, although in one class we
do have a wine club. --- lisa

From: "Tannenbaum, Sabina" 
To: Discussion Group for Transportation Librarians 


Can anyone give me some idea as to where to find the following standard in English? 

AFNOR (Association Française de Normalisation) NF F00-037, Matériel ferroviaire en général : tolérancement des pičces métalliques : écarts admissibles pour cotes sans indication de tolérances : surépaisseur d'usinage.

The English title provided on the French document is: Railway equipment in general : tolerancing of metal pieces : permissible deviations of dimensions with no tolerance indication : allowance for machining.

I ordered the original from AFNOR, which was published only in French.  ILI InfoDisk indicated it was offering a hard copy in French and English, but it turned out to be only in French.  Fortunately, ILI is taking it back.  CISTI, who has a large collection of translations, doesn't have it at all.  

Any suggestions?  Thanks for thinking about this with me.
