Comment on Norwegian movies for American friends by Espen

Addition: Iang Jeon, an American friend, says: “You left out “Import-Eksport”, a humor-filled cross-cultural gem of a Norwegian movie”.

Unfortunately, I haven’t seen it, and it isn’t available on Netflix. But the IMDB entry looks interesting: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0447649/

Comment on How students search by Espen

Well, Pål,
an alternative would be to build a search engine on top of those databases – or, as will probably happen, that Google either just acquires those companies or outcompete them.

My experience as a subject librarian:

Student believe often that the 10 relevant articles they need can be found in 1 database, while the librarian think different, instead they see 1 article with references from 10 different database silos and citations that can be found in 10 different databases. It is almost impossible to convince the students that the scholarly information landscape is full of silos. Students seems to be totally convinced that everything they need can be found in one or two databases, something like a “scientific Google”. Perhaps the the most challenging job is to unlearn the students with habits from high school that not work in science and scholarly settings.
