Taxonomy of Snow

By Melody Smith|February 17th, 20152015-02-16T20:48:19-05:00

The irony of this particular post is not lost on me. Classifications of snow flakes and crystals while we are in the midst of a blizzard outside my window is just too much. Accumulative snow in Louisville, Kentucky is rare. Schools shut down with just the threat of a couple inches, long before the white stuff actually begins to fall from the sky. Yesterday the weather service projected up to twelve inches for the bluegrass area and the city has literally come to a screeching halt and the faceted crystals continue to fall.

Searching for Art

By Melody Smith|February 17th, 20152015-02-16T20:44:48-05:00

Classifying art has always been a challenge. Museum collections are mostly indexed in individual databases. This prohibits collaboration and comprehensive searching. The Smithsonian Museum of American Art (SAAM) hopes to change that. It has launched the American Art Collaborative (ACC), a consortium of 14 museums across the country that will connect these databases.

Publishing Alters Stance on Free Access

By Melody Smith|February 16th, 20152015-02-15T19:37:03-05:00

The Association of American Publishers (AAP) recently announced plans to allow free access to private sector articles reporting on federally funded research fall short of advancing sustainable public access. These plans require unnecessary government spending that wastes taxpayer money and will ultimately harm publishers’ ability to advance science and scholarship.
