Editor's Notes
- Story of me in boston for SFX training – just a humorous anecdote about how researchers view what we do as libraries.
- More about the boston story – basically after describing what SFX was, my buddy Jeff, a medical researcher, said, “Hmm, glad you guys figured *that* out finally.” Sort of the user view of what we do in libraries – not a big deal but important for us to “finally figure it out”. Pertains to ‘figuring out recommendations’
- About recommender systems – very tertiary glance at some ways to build them.
- The evolution of the recommender system (SFX-style)
- What my friend Jeff would say about the development of bX
