Hello Bibliophiles!
It’s a new semester and time for your friendly SCALA Blog to be a litte more active. This semester we want to focus on why we love our dear libraries, archives, museums, and technology of all varieties. To kick things off: SOPA.
In case you haven’t popped your head up in the past weeks, SOPA is the proposed Stop Onlince Piracy Act. Check out the Wiki, some news, the text of the bill, and more.
Today is the official SOPA protest day, but regardless of whether you support the bill or black out your blog in protest, SOPA would have a large impact on library work as we know it. How would it affect your workplace and our education? Should this bill be passed? Let us know in the comments.
