Splitting and lumping question! I'm currently being broad and including pretty much any journal that accepts data papers and/or explicitly supports linking to associated datasets, whether or not it has data as a primary focus and whether or not it hosts the dataset itself. Would people find it useful to add tags for some of these distinctions? And if so, for which (and what tags to use)? - Deborah Fitchett

if you have one of these, how did you choose it over the other? are there other contenders out there that haven't made themselves known to me yet? - Marie

from what i understand, the online subscription is about the same cost as reaxys per year... which is incredibly expensive. (less than scifinder? not sure, my lab is not allowed to be on university's scifinder) eta: i realized i did have a way to find order of magnitude springer materials is 60% the cost of reaxys. reaxys is less than 50% the cost of scifinder. - Christina Pikas

"Last spring, Michaels was scrapping by and had just been issued an eviction notice by her landlord. She stopped by the Public Library to check her email, and there in her inbox, was an invitation to audition for Project Runway from the shows casting agent. Even though Michaels had never seen the show, she watched a few episodes and decided to give it a shot, telling herself... Patricia: If you make it then this is your chance to have that audience and be seen by the industry, so don't give up. Michaels told me one of the most challenging aspects of the application process was that she is a severe dyslexic. Patricia: For the Project Runway application it's like 40 essay questions and like 500 photos and images, so filling out these applications I was just like I hope they understood what I just said (laughs) you know, I really hope that I made sense in this application. It took her almost a month to complete the application and she did it by going to the town library, using those two free half hours on the internet, every day" - Katy S from Bookmarklet

Yes, it's one among many many perfect illustrations of why public libraries are so vital to (considers several possibilities, decides on:) civilisation. - Deborah Fitchett

I'm sure that were Chechnya a major oil-producing region, the fearless political leadership in Congress would have been highly "concerned" about the "humanitarian plight of the Chechnyan people." - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

Here's me: http://impactstory.org/collect... It is interesting that "highly discussed" and "highly saved" in my case amounts to a handful of bookmarks and tweets. - LibrarianOnTheLoose
