Chela Scott Weber, Research Library Partnership, OCLC

From 2020–2023, OCLC was a partner on Building a National Finding Aid Network (NAFAN). Led by the California Digital Library, NAFAN was an IMLS-supported research and demonstration project designed to build the foundation for a national archival finding aid network to address the inconsistency and inequity of the current archival discovery landscape. OCLC led research for the project, undertaking an investigation of both end user and contributor needs in relation to finding aid aggregations, and an evaluation of the quality and consistency of existing finding aid data from regional archival aggregators. This presentation will synthesize the findings from across all OCLC’s research activities on the NAFAN grant. It will focus on how findings relate to future phases of work on the NAFAN project, including describing the significant value to be drawn from a national aggregation of archival description and the challenges that must be overcome to build the community of participation that a national finding aid aggregation will require to be sustainable.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column. “Enshitternet: The old, good internet deserves a new, good internet,” clarifying that our aspiration shouldn’t be to restore the internet’s former glory, but to make a new and glorious internet.

The enshitternet wasn’t inevitable. It was the result of specific policy choices: the decision to encourage monopoly formation, which created the corporate power and concentration that led to even more policies, granting the monopolist unlimited freedom to abuse us, and denying us any right to defend ourselves.

Anything that can’t go on forever eventually stops. The disenshittification of the internet isn’t a nostalgic bid to restore the old, good internet. It’s a plan to build a new, good internet, and to make the enshitternet a bad memory, a mere transitional stage between the old, good internet we had and the new, good internet we deserve.

In different technological circles - arguably in a lot of those - Martin Kleppmann needs no introduction.

Most famous for his best-selling book “Designing Data-Intensive Applications”, Martin is also currently busy working as a Senior Research Associate and Affiliated Lecturer at the University of Cambridge Department of Computer Science and Technology. A great speaker and writer, capable of explaining complex subjects with great clarity, patience and thoroughness.

Martin recently spoke with our very own, Natan Silnitsky on making design decisions, recent advances in the tech industry, and his plans for the future.

For fifty years David Harvey has written and lectured on Capital, becoming one of the world’s foremost Marx scholars. In addition, his work on the history and geography of capitalist development has transformed our understanding of neoliberalism and the spread of inequalities across the globe.

In this interview David Harvey recalls the formation of his Marxist ideas, intellectual influences, and writing. He also talks about the growth of the populist right and how that is connected to geographical electoral splits, Marx's Grundrisse (which he has written a companion to - see below), and Marx's theories more broadly.

David Harvey teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and is the author of many books, including:
