waves from across campus....
Well then...
Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $
FWIW, as far as I know, the suggestion is not refusal to publish unaffiliated. Just that those are flagged and examined in other ways.
But, this is a balancing of risks, not absolutes. Do we accept a lot of fake authors (current state), or do we risk excluding ppl if the methods of verification are implemented ham-handedly?
Feels like you're giving a lot of power to a form item to stop you from submitting. You are affiliated even if it isn't for your employer. You could also just write in Independent Researcher? Or, Freelance?
As long as I've known you, you've had an affiliation. Why can't you fill it out?
I saw this convo this morning and then this essay this afternoon. We just can't have nice things? www.zenrows.com/blog/bypass-...
Also the Franklin Fountain in Philadelphia. It tastes like the hydrox ice cream dessert my grandmother made so I pretty much go any time in Philly for that nostalgic family memory.
What do you mean by jump with both feet?
just do diamond our way, the One Right Way, and "all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well"
I listened to how an engineer was increasing his grant applications thru LLM at a gathering this weekend. He still writes the proposals ... it's the ideation, formatting, etc that he's saving tons of time on. I don't think that kind of use is detectable.
This last part is funniest. They outright said it out. They wont license their content out for competive advantage but somehow they expect and are even successful in getting other publishers to license content to them.. wonder what magic is happening here. (7)
We get stickers with ours and I love that.
I refused to pay the moving company more. But, I generously tipped the movers!
Last time we moved, the moving company didn't want to come give an estimate, just over the phone: we know that apt development.
I was like .... ok, but we have a lot of books, are you sure?
So, yeah, that half day move took their crew a full day plus.
Thought provoking
We need to talk about better metadata in Crossref and DataCite. ROR id, ORCIDs, the lot.
In an age of AI bots that attack our open infrastructure, we also need to discuss whether papering over the gaps with industrial grade website scraping is appropriate or sustainable.
Oh, I would love to have this for my Evaluation of Library Services course. I get so much mileage out of pop culture commentary on evaluation.
Sure, I go to the library for books, but also sometimes I go just to exist in a space that's welcoming, organized, comfortable, judgement-free, and run by knowledgeable, helpful, passionate people, because that energy is straight up medicinal
Sad to see this. Also, it's a clear position statement that leads off before the sudden shift to the closure information. Is it there to say this that is also the cause? Bc no reason is given? firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph...
"Buy as many single books as you like, for $5 each, and we’ll donate the profits to the American Library Association’s Unite Against Book Bans, which empowers people everywhere to stand up in the fight against censorship."

It is also remarkable to see headlines referring to a man as someone relative to a woman without the man's name. Though typically, we see women referred to as "wife of" when they succeed, and here it is men as they fail.
Not if its fair use, which doesn't depend on a license at all (caveat - in the USA; elsewhere it may not be fair use/dealing tho I wouldn't say the NC/ND license is the barrier - copyright is the barrier).

After 4 hours, they stopped chatting and started watching movies. Whew!
Not ideal if they talk with each other the whole time!
Oops, 14 hour flight. It will just feel like 24.
