Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall, Carnegie PA 

Dear Maggie, and Evan, (and Susan Davis Claus, friend from Scottish Country Dancing in Pgh in the 2nd half of the 1970s, and in the einetwork.net library system, and Jen Styran, across the divide in the Carnegie Library Oakland, and possibly a kind of director there), All, 

Greetings, and very nice to meet and talk with you, Maggie and Evan, just now at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall, Carnegie PA. And thanks for showing me the great Music Hall, Maggie, and interesting to learn that you graduated from the Oberlin college music conservatory with a focus on performance. (Here's the very early World Univ & Sch Music School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School - planning all instruments ever, in all languages ever, each a wiki subject or school to begin, and for real real time music making, and for free online WUaS music performance and other music degrees (eg ethnomusicology? ) - eg Bachelor and PhD, potentially). 
 
How best to create 200 online major university research libraries at MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School in countries' main languages - and possibly in collaboration with the free Carnegie libraries' systems - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States, each a major online free MIT OCW-centric university, and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages, potentially all 7151 known living languages at WUaS)? And further how to do so in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForLibraries and think in Google Street View with time slider, maps, earth, TensorFlowAI "time sliding" back to the library of congress in 1810 and picking a virtual book or document off the shelf, presently as a PDF, say the Declaration of Independence or similar, and reading an authentic original that had been digitized. 

See - 
Realistic Virtual Earth For Libraries

https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLibraries?src=hashtag_click

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1597977907686936578?s=20


https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1595960401392734208?s=20

... and potentially in collaboration with the Carnegie Libraries Free to the People's vision and organizations, about which I've emailed Jen Styran above (in the past). 

To get an idea of a Google time slider in Google Street View, and regarding my first book, a Physical Digital Ethnography of Harbin Hot Springs since 1972, check out this, and scroll between the vintage fire engine in 2007, and no fire engine in 2012 - 

In what ways could this time slider principle offer a new way to create online library collections ... and even in a realistic virtual earth for history (adding a new digital historical method and theory in the process)?


Here's the beautiful Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall in Google Street View (which opened in 1901) with time slider to which one can add photos and videos etc - 



Possibly in a related vein, I've just read that the Carnegie Libraries are holding - 

"Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Strategic Planning - Community Engagement Sessions" - 
https://www.carnegielibrary.org/events/list/?tribe-bar-search=strategic+plan

... and the second one is near here in Brookline next Tuesday. 


I've blogged about some related Carnegie Museums and Libraries' thoughts here in yesterday's blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/06/yellow-jessamine-sc-south-carolina.html - in my daily blog. 


Again, CC-4 licensed MIT OCW -centric WIKI World University seeks to create 200 online world class University research libraries, as well as in all 50 US states' research libraries with every library in the state's collection, bringing them online further for accessibility and with artificial intelligence and machine learning too ... and, as wiki, even to make it possible for individuals doing research to wiki-add resources they might find for ex., in the Ligonier Valley Library to the Ligonier Valley online collection eg right here as this platform develops - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources - and now.

Free online university degrees and wiki schools for open teaching and learning online for your patrons as WUaS, accreditation with the Middle States Commission for Higher Education, with offices in Philadelphia and licenses with the state of PAs department of education.


Thank you, and great to make your acquaintances. 

Best wishes, thanks, looking forward to staying in communication, 
Scott

Thanks also for showing me the Stasik town of Carnegie Diorama, - and for the authors of the books about Carnegie including by himself, Nasaw and Krass.




Further thinking regarding a realistic virtual earth for history and  the Carnegie Library and Museums in Oakland -   
Please keep WUaS in the loop regarding your $5000 grant from state of PA to digitize your collections' unique objects and regarding this WUaS communication with Shirley -
at the Ligonier Library.

Sharon, (Shirley), 


Greetings in the Ligonier Public Library. Will do, Sharon, & thanks for letting me know. Please let me know if I miss anything. 

Best wishes, abolition ally, thanks, 
Scott
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources (planning all 50 US states and all 200 countries, and potentially in Wikidata as a backend structured knowledge database with querying for generative library artificial intelligence too)


Here's an aspect of the idea I shared with Shirley some months ago again - 


Shirley, any further beads on Ligonier Highland Games programs from the 1960s through to today, - easily accessible online for historical research from the Ligonier Public Library's web site? (And When are we going to be able to visit the Ligonier Highland Games In 1976 in Google Street View with time slider and be able to talk with the piping judges of the practice chanter competitions ... if there for ex. might be video documentation of such  eg by a parent having videoed their child playing in the piping practice chanter competition including of the judge turned into avatar bots for Pennsylvania history? Susan Davis Claus, did you share some pictures with me of the Ligonier Highland Games from around 1975 a few years ago?:)

Cheers,
Scott
