swissted
by sbrothier
swissted is an ongoing project by graphic designer mike joyce, owner of stereotype design in new york city. drawing from his love of punk rock and swiss modernism, two movements that have absolutely nothing to do with one another, mike has redesigned vintage punk, hardcore, and indie rock show flyers into international typographic style posters. each poster is sized to the standard swiss kiosk dimensions of 35.5 inches wide by 50 inches high and set in berthold akzidenz grotesk medium, all lowercase. every single one of these shows actually happened.

Hellspawn: Complete Collection
by alamat & 1 other (via)
As a casual comic reader (mostly cherry picking the best series once collected), I’m not sure I enjoyed this collection. The artwork, while beautiful, frequently caused confusion as to who was who. It certainly set the mood, but when dialog happened I frequently couldn’t even tell who was speaking. The story, while appropriately dark and gritty, occasionally exacerbated the confusion by switching narrative approaches.

Avengers: Nights of Wundagore
by alamat & 1 other (via)
It’s great to read old stories that are just as fresh as ones written today. This Avengers book will not dissapoint fans, especially since the story arc is so important to the future of the Avengers.

Acheter pour d’autres des accès rares pour des contenus “naturellement” cachés derrière des murs payants, qu’on s’épuise ensuite à valoriser. .... Le meilleur moyen de “valoriser” (faire connaître) des contenus : Accès Libre quitte à vendre des services ensuite (= Freemium). ..Si contraire , difficulté d’accès à un monde clos, hétérogène, exclusif... et sélectionnés par un bibliothécaire inconnu… ...Tropisme de profession :la constitution de collections dans l’univers numérique...( le bibliothécaire est celui qui “donne accès” à des bases comme on achète un livre... ) Et nous acceptons des restrictions d’usages insupportables... ! L’enjeu : Elaborer avec eux des offres dans lesquelles l’usager final est respecté, où les bibliothécaires trouvent leur place et ...viable. C’est possible : ... ...N’est-il pas temps de se regrouper et de proposer une charte de l’usager des ressources numérique en bibliothèque ?

BIB - Ebrary ( ce modèle se nomme "Patron-Driven Acquisition" que l’on pourrait traduire par “acquisition conduite par les usagers”.) : Des bouquets aux acquisitions faites par les usagers, un nouvel équilibre à trouver 5/7 - BibliObsession
by decembre
Le flux, l’abondance, l’accès libre financé en amont. Ebrary (récemment racheté par Proquest), tente de concilier ces modalités. - les usagers recherchent et consultent l’un des ebooks ( offre de dizaine de milliers de titres) cinq minutes sans faire encourir de frais à la bibliothèque. - fenêtre apparaît :souhaite continuer à accéder au livre numérique ?. - oui :la bibliothèque est créditée d’une utilisation de livre numérique,peut utiliser le livre 10 jours sans frais supplémentaire . - 4 utilisation d’un titre : “achat” automatique, et ajouté à la collection permanente de la bibliothèque, il devient alors accessible à tous les usagers. * 2 à 5 fois plus utilisée que l’offre pré-sélectionnée par les bibliothécaires * génère une audience 2 à 3 fois plus large que les celle constituée par les bibliothécaires (en visiteur unique par titre) * propose une répartition des sujets similaire à celle constituée par les bibliothécaires.
