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

Also, man, I wish my family did not place such emphasis on the TIME you were born. Because all day today I'm going to be looking at the clock and thinking, "Nope, I was still in labor."

"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

MIT is my favorite university press by a large margin.

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.

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.

And I bet it just says "0 results found" if you click on the suggested search. What a tease.

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.

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).

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.

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...

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"

<thread jack> does anyone know of an author told by Elsevier or similar $$ pub to take down a PDF they posted w/o permission?

nope. they'd rather go after third parties -- I've heard stories of pings to campus IT, frex.

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...

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.

[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.]

I was going to like this, but I guess it's meaningless NO LIKE FOR YOU
