In the old handwritten catalog cards, didn't library hand require that the letters slant to the left or is that just my imagination? - Stephen le Francoeur

In honor of the bad new covers for Anne of Green Gables and The Bell Jar, I made this bad cover for Infinite Jest. But I'm not sure it's bad *enough*.

This book was written by a man; it doesn't need a pretty lady on the cover - DJF from Android

It might also be too closely related to the actual subject matter of the book. - Steele Lawman
Maybe a chest-and abs shot of a shirtless guy standing in front of the net on a tennis court. - Kirsten

"I have come to understand that the complaints about the recalcitrant old school librarians that don't 'get it' have, in fact, increased because there are more folks who do 'get it' to complain." -- Lankes

p xi, "Preface", Atlas of new librarianship. Cambridge, MA: MIT Pr, ACRL, 2011. - DJF from Android
Also, Damn but MIT Press designs and prints gorgeous fetish objects... books. - DJF from Android
MIT is my favorite university press by a large margin. - Steele Lawman
And they don't gouge on pricing. The atlas cost a mere $45 from amazon, and its size and production values would have permitted a price of well over $100. - DJF from Android
Um, no - the pricing reflects a subvention. Another source of funds underwrote some of the costs of production. This was an MIT and ACRL publication ... - Lisa Hinchliffe
Lisa, that may be the case, but then MIT must underwrite the costs of production for most of its books. I used to be the CSEE librarian. I've purchased a lot of MIT Press books over the years. - DJF from Android
recalcitrant old-school librarians - awd
It may be. They probably have a standing as a publisher that many others do not - e.g. higher sales as a result. - Lisa Hinchliffe

No, Primo, I did not mean that.
didyoumean.jpg
of course you did. Clearly if you're searching for video, that's what you really want. - ellbeecee
And I bet it just says "0 results found" if you click on the suggested search. What a tease. - Meg V. Meg
The funny thing is, when I do the search for "IIP video" in the general search, that message doesn't come up. It's not until I click "Available in the library" that it appears. - Chris Z.
The funniest "did you mean?" i've seen , posted on facebook by a student was our encore system showing did you mean "Singapore fiction", when the query was "singapore elections" (or something like that). - aarontay
CLOSE ENOUGH!!! - Chris Z.

I'm having an excellent week. My article finally went up: http://dx.doi.org/10...
Fabulous! I've become very interested in this area of research and look forward to reading your article. Congrats to you on being published :) - Jen
Thank you! - LibrarianOnTheLoose
Forwarding off to our Social Work Librarian right now! (And stashing a copy in my Read Soon folder. As opposed to Read Later.) - Rebecca Hedreen
Congrats! Will you post a green oa version somewhere? - Yo Joe. No, go slow. from iPod
I think I have the right to put up my original draft? Like the document I sent to the publisher before it was turned into a proof? Unfortunately my website is still under construction so I don't really have a place to put it. - LibrarianOnTheLoose
You could post it on E-LIS or something similar. From the Elsevier website: What rights do I retain as a journal author*?... -the right to post a pre-print version of the journal article on Internet websites including electronic pre-print servers, and to retain indefinitely such version on such servers or sites for scholarly purposes* (with some exceptions such as The Lancet and Cell... more... - Rebecca Hedreen
Elsevier needs to update their journal author pages--many dead links. - Rebecca Hedreen
You should also be able to post the peer-reviewed version too, since they are green OA compliant. [But, it may be easier to find the pre-print version to post, if there are not that many changes.] - Yo Joe. No, go slow.
My impression is that the postprint is okay on an institutional repository but not a subject repository like E-LIS? - Deborah Fitchett
pre-print on e-lis and post-print on an institutional repository or personal website is how I interpret "the right to post a pre-print version of the journal article on Internet websites including electronic pre-print servers, and to retain indefinitely such version on such servers or sites for scholarly purposes" - awd
<thread jack> does anyone know of an author told by Elsevier or similar $$ pub to take down a PDF they posted w/o permission? - barbara fister from iPhone
nope. they'd rather go after third parties -- I've heard stories of pings to campus IT, frex. - RepoRat
I misspoke when I said "original draft," I meant the microsoft word file that I sent in after peer review as opposed to the formatted proof that JAL submitted to me for final corrections. I looked on E-LIS and there are several JAL publications uploaded in that way. It looks like you have to link to the published version. It also looks like some people formatted their pre-prints to have... more... - LibrarianOnTheLoose

Butts in seats in a library almost as meaningless as facebook likes. Not an accurate measure of engagement.
Yabbut... *No* quantifiable measure of library use is an accurate measure of engagement and real value. I suppose you could argue for abandoning all metrics on that basis, but "Support us because we're good guys" is sometimes a losing argument. ("Sometimes" may be the wrong word.) And, indeed, FB likes is not entirely meaningless either. - Walt Crawford
[OK, I'm sensitive on this, since Give Us a Dollar... is, and must be, entirely about quantifiables, which are absolutely not the most important library stories.] - Walt Crawford
I was going to like this, but I guess it's meaningless NO LIKE FOR YOU - Blake
ಠ_ಠ - Sarah G.
ok fine sheesh, I liked it, you didn't need to get all ಠ_ಠ on me - Blake
Metrics can die in a fire, - Steele Lawman
Thanks for the vote of no confidence, Steele. I really appreciate it. - Walt Crawford
OK I overstated it. If there was a fire, I wouldn't grab the metrics first. - Steele Lawman
How many times was this retweeted versus liked or commented on here? - Yo Joe. No, go slow.
Only once, versus this one http://ff.im/16pLAp which got 10+ retweets and only mild interest here. - Sarah G.
