Hear me blathering about #OpenAccess, #libraries and #AcademicPublishing...

What’s happening in #libraries with terms like “DEI,” “diversity,” & “equity?” What’s lost or gained by turning away from this vocabulary? Join the discussion at the 9/22 DLF Committee for #Equity & #Inclusion

Your library only has compelling stories on the inside.

Libraries - Punk as Fuck!

Milwaukee Public Library’s Wisconsin Concert Poster Collection is pretty punk
Milwaukee Public Library's Timothy Rush talks about the Rare Books Room's collection of almost 200 gig posters.

A great opportunity is now open for a Tech Team Manager in the Discovery and Delivery Program at the California Digital Library where I work! This is a great group of folks doing innovative work in core library areas. #jobs #libraries

The fundraising letter I got from #NYPL (New York Public Library) this week has some fantastic news:
They are raising money because of “book checkouts doubling and tripling at some branches”.
People are READING!
People are continuing to read, despite the popular narrative that everyone just wants to sit scrolling video feeds and chatting with bots all day. People want books, people have the attention span to read them, and at the very least some libraries are thriving.
Have hope in people!
