2,500 of our books were relocated to our Pop-Up Library today. The temporary space above the cafeteria will house an essential collection during the spring. Meanwhile, the library building will be remodeled, beginning during December holiday. Most of the collection will be in storage during the renovation, which is expected to take seven months. Take a look at this clip, showing the ceremonial passing of the last book.
I think I now understand where the authority rating comes from: it's from how many times the blog is linked to by other sites. I think I remember Chris Anderson at MLA talking about this a bit. He blogged about his upcoming book for two years--essentially writing it on-line. When the book came out, he asked his blog subscribers for reviews. He got 740 reviews on the 800 free copies he sent out; these linked to Amazon and drove sales of his book. So the power of a blog is in how many times it's linked to.
