It is always good sport trying to second guess what Google will do with data…… ;-) ‘Localness’ is not always a matter of geographical nearness. IP address ranges for example are rumoured to have some influence in this area. However it is as much about the relationship between well described

Hi Lisa, There are a few public libraries here in Southern Ontario who are using sensors to monitor patron movement in their libraries; the intent is to understand how patrons are using the library space, whether in-place way-finders are effective, etc. If you want further info, I can put you in

Well, the aforementioned Jason Griffey's Measure the Future project could certainly be read as IoT (http://measurethefuture.net/, and I am one of the developers on this project). It's not yet in libraries in the sense that we're working on our alpha test right now, but it should be more widely

Hopefully Google will have a means to let libraries/patrons select/deselect areas where they will advertise their resources. We're a private institution in Alexandria VA. Our resources are pertinent to other people on our single IP domain, but less so to others in Alexandria VA. Maybe they'd

Hi Karen, I took a look at those bryn mawr hits and I don't see the schema.org used in the page. Am I missing it? Perhaps I found the wrong thing. If indeed it's not there, it just goes to show how using schema is not a panacea. Loads of factors go into search ranking, relevancy, and

Hi Cindy, Deduping can happen in any number of ways, but making use of shared identifiers is the preferred way to address this issue. You could adopt a shared identifier or you can an indicate that your Thing is the same as a this other Thing. In schema.org's vocabulary, you'd use

It's probably not safe to say that "all search is local" but there is most certainly a strong local component considered for every search. For me, every hit on the first page of Google's results for a search for "ice cream parlor" is related to Chicago, which is where I executed the search. A

An off-the-cuff response: I've heard it suggested in talks about Bibframe that just as Google tailors your results based on location (i.e. if I put in "pizza," I'll get pizza places in South Bend, as well as pizza recipes and whatnot), they'd tailor your library results based on location. So if I
