W11 reading
The Mischo article was not appealing read for me... I'm not sure what is bothering me in this article. I noticed the difference between Dewey and Repository article. Their end goals were slightly different but their issues were same. Dewey article focused on the digital content and how to bridge the expectations between computer scientists and the librarians. Repository discussed about preserving scholarly works in a long run. As some blogs mentioned the hyperlink rot in Mischo article, this illustrates the challenges of preserving the scholarly works online. The technology field changes rapidly; some issues become moot. As the library makes its transfer to the digital world- I believe it is still possible to have both of best; digital and physical library. This is navigable field, there will be lot of shifts and growing with the technology. Academia will forge on to find solutions.. in another decade, we might look back on the changes and say, wow, we were really anxious. With time, librarians will be proficient and comfortable with technology.

W10 notes
I can see the differences between HTML5 and XML. However I struggle with the idea of various ways to set up a website. There are ways to build a mountain. XML is certainly simpler with attributes and values. The similarity is within the writing the code. Both requires ending of the attribution and value. From my perspective, it seems as if HTML is universal while XML is set up by smaller community within cyberspace. I am still figuring out how to code so the information about XML is overwhelming. IBM websites helped to clarify the differences and discussed as how to code in XML.

Week 9 readings
HTML5 claims to be the future of the web design. It was adjusted according to the changing time.. it was interesting to see that <font> that was used in 4.0 HTML is now dropped in HTML5- I quite did not understand the reasoning except that it have become obsolete. There is a list of obsolete terms that is not used by HTML5. However video, audio and other various features is now added to the HTML5. This have not become standard... yet. In such rapid changes, the goal is to have standard raised for the websites. I am not quite sure if the data in web storage is much safer than the cookies. There is little new information in each readings about HTML.
