Longtime blogger at PressThink, media critic, and journalism academic, Jay Rosen announced this week he has started his own Internet archive. I say all things Jay, as he is archiving everything you can find online by him or on him by clicking on it.
Currently the Archive holds 26,615 “records” that reach back to 1986, which is when he
Each author in The Library at LexBlog has an Author Record. Ten fields establishing their authority. Every library needs to have author records to track identity. The Library of Congress keeps one, called the Name Authority Record, and we modeled The Library on theirs.
An Author Record is more important than ever in the days of AI. We’re moving from
Anna Trammell, writting for the Internet Archive Blog, shares that:
“Local news is disappearing. Since 2005, the United States has lost nearly 3,500 newspapers. 213 counties have no local news outlet at all and another 1,524 have just one. Newsrooms continue to shrink, close, and merge, often with no plan in place for the long term preservation and access
Twitter is coming back, or at least it is for me. I’ll also acknowledge Twitter is something you make come back.

Twenty plus years ago no one was reading online. Law firms told me it was nuts to think they would
The Library at LexBlog, on the back of AI, is preserving and structuring the published insight of legal professionals worldwide as citable secondary law.
Over one million published works from 73,000 professionals and 4,400 publications already. The publishing is expanding from blogs to articles, alerts, whitepapers and the like.
We’d be remiss if we did not talk to law firms
I barely got into law school, let alone make law review, so after a few decades as a lawyer it’s a real honor to find myself among the leading legal commentators in the world. At least I did so through our Library at LexBlog.
Last week, HeinOnline a product of William S. Hein & Co., Inc., announced the launch of
With AI, law, whether code, regs, cases or secondary law in the form of insight from legal professionals, has moved from text to data.
The Santa Fe Institute has a nice explanation of how we now read the law leading off their study on law as data.

Clio’s CEO Jack Newton shared the importance of context in AI in a post today. “…[E]ven the most powerful model operates in a vacuum without proper context.”
Jack continued: “In legal that context includes statutes, cases, documents, emails, billing records, deadlines and countless other sources of information.”

A leading legal publishing and technology executive, whom most of you would know, told me Friday that the strongest thing the Library at LexBlog has going for it is authority.
