Notes from all over

I’ve been waiting to do a big dump of links I’ve been enjoying…

Used books up, new books down?

• “Second-hand book sales up” (London Telepgraph)

Library consortium OCLC changes policies, draws ire:

• “Stealing Your Library: The OCLC Powergrab” (Aaron from Open Library)
• “Why libraries must reject the OCLC Policy (part 1)” (Tim from LibraryThing)
• OCLC policy change overview (Code4Lib)

Bay Area indie bookstores, dead and alive:

• Stacey’s Bookstore in San Francisco shutting down
• But wait, not every Bay Area indie is dying!

Book rental in the news:

• Chegg raises $25 million round from Kleiner, others
• Chegg CEO interview

Yay, reading:

• New NEA study shows US reading rates on the rise
• Britons think reading is sexy

More notes from all over:
