i counted all the e-resources mentioned during each ref desk transaction, organized the data in ucinet, then used netdraw to visualize. our little e-resources live such unexpected, complex lives! - Marie

could be used for a recommender system? - Christina Pikas

yes. :) what other ideas come to mind? - Marie

Promotional: "See how much stuff our librarians KNOW? Give us a call." - Amandadon't

How did you track this? - awd from Android

I didn't track any of it! (=TOTAL WIN) Our Info Desk staff log each transaction into Gimlet (http://gimlet.us/). I took what they did and broke it down, funky-like. - Marie

gimlet looks interesting - and cheap! - maʀtha

Gimlet devs are friends of mine. :) You got questions, I can get answers. - RepoRat

I think we are paying lots more for Desk Tracker - maʀtha

I know someone who going BoingBoinged. I feel faint... - barbara fister

I feel a little faint too. BB sure brings the traffic. - John Dupuis

Excellent - Hedgehog

We should totally play Six Degrees of BoingBoinged. (Well done, John.) - Catherine Pellegrino

Oh man! So cool! We are all first degree now! - laura x

Also in Slate! http://www.slate.com/blogs... - Jaclyn aka spamgirl

dang, that's awesome. - Marie

Yeah, uh, this whole thing has been pretty wild. Up to nearly 12K page views, which is by far the most popular post I've ever done. Posts on the politicization of science in Canada have always been popular, but in the 1-2K page view range. - John Dupuis

Liked on Fb: 3.6K, Tweets: 763. Even 74 +1's on G+, for heaven's sake. - John Dupuis

But, how much has this been shared in friendfeed? - Yo Joe. No, go slow.

Now it's slashdot and stumbleupon. - John Dupuis

Who did you pay, and how much? - Yo Joe. No, go slow.

I wish I were that smart. I guess I should mention that I did submit the post to BB but I imagine they pick up only a very small portion of what's submitted. I suspected I would have a decent shot because Cory Doctorow is Canadian and he has posted about the Canadian goverment in the past. Aside from that, all I did was tweet it up a bit more than usual. - John Dupuis

There are other hex bugs out there to test out. - Yo Joe. No, go slow.

Our cat was deeply offended by the hexbug nano. - Catherine Pellegrino

My kids have a handful of them and they creep me right the fuck out. Out of the corner of my eye, I see them scuttling along the baseboards of our apartment sometimes just like the real cockroaches that randomly show up in our apartment from time to time. - Stephen le Francoeur

should i send you ours? - kendrak

i do not like those things. - jambina

so i should bring 'em to san diego? noted. - kendrak

Just explain that it's your interpretation of business casual. - lris

I'd think they'd understand that in Australia. - Steele Lawman

topless: legal. bottomless: not so much - DJF from Android

Hmmm, I'm not sure how legal 'topless' would be when I'm teaching my Equity Law workshops...even in Australia - Megan loves summer

We figure we saved about $1000 doing it ourselves. (Oh, forgot $5 for the wildflower seed - would be ten, but was on sale at Menards.) - Sarah G.

btw, that is my dad's pick-up truck in the back. It is a full sized pick up, not a small one like a Ford Ranger, to give sense of scale. - Sarah G.

The Lowes down here had a bunch of white coneflower, echinacea, and black eyed susan's in their clearance section (nice sized plants for $1/each) if you want to jump start your wild flower plot and send the old people on a mission. - sglassme

I boycott Lowes since the pulled their ads from All American Muslim. Besides, I think I got enough seeds down. It's really just a holder until I decide what I want to plant in there for realzies as far as evergreens and stuff. This fall is going to be Hosta-spit-a-thon as well as bulb-arama. I'm considerign doing a bunch of bulbs so that there's always something flowering in there. - Sarah G.

okey dokey. BTW, I am busy the weekend of bulbarama. I saw mom's pic on twitter. Did the posts not get cut down? - sglassme

I love this so much. When Steve first showed me I was all THE COUCH!! IT IS THE COUCH!!! - Marianne

It IS the couch. :) Katie, you can thank PhotoBooth for the author photo. - laura x from BuddyFeed

I can't wait to read this! Well done, laura! - Lisa | #TeamMonique

Professional cover designs are one thing that traditional publishing has over self-publishing. Except when you can get a design that professional (that *is* a compliment) in a self-published book. Congratulations! - Walt Crawford

LOVE - jambina

Just fantastic. - Catherine Pellegrino

Everything looks wonderful! - Katy S

OMG! Where can I buy it! - Headless Gnad Kicker

oh wow, wow, wow. - Marie

Nowhere yet. But several places in the near future. - laura x from BuddyFeed

I keep seeing this and loving it again. - lris

... Imma add this cover to the miscellanea I'm collecting in case I ever get to teach a basic design course. - RepoRat

I love the couch! - maʀtha

For those curious about the couch: http://newrambler.net/ramblin... - laura x

Walt, I am touched by your compliment, after I have been a jerk to you too often. Thank you. That said, Laura supplied the photo of the couch, I chose a classic typeface and sampled colors from the photograph. So I'm happy with how it turned out, but it's more a matter of listening to what the author wanted. - Steele Lawman

OMG You mean Steele Lawman is actually Steve Lawson! I take it all.... Nah. A good book cover, especially a good uncluttered one, is great and not always easy to do. This one's good in a number of subtle ways. I try to respect those who have talents I lack, and really good cover design is one of those. - Walt Crawford

Good thing I can read. No one tells me anything! Here I was admiring the cover, never knowing the source of it! Wow. - Mama Lawson

the real trick is finding a nice looking fence that keeps in goats. My house is situated on teh back of my lot, so it'd all be in front. - Sarah G.

Get fainting goats! Then you can surprise them and they ALL FALL DOWN. (Actually, I'm a bigger fan of dairy goats, but probably cause I raised them) - Hedgehog

self archiving is probably fine, but you won't get a very liberal reuse license (ie, you won't get a reuse license). You will have to write self archiving into the contract, and you'll have to make sure that it doesn't just say "institutional repository", since I doubt that your employer runs such a thing. - DJF

It's also worth considering that sometimes a particular book has terms differing from the generic publisher's terms, so I think that's a reasonable thing to ask the editor... - Marianne

You could submit it with a SPARC addenda to maintain author rights. http://www.sparc.arl.org/author... - Yo Joe. No, go slow.

With a book, everything's on the table. Figure out what you want and ask 'em for it. :) - RepoRat

Okay. So I'm thinking what I want (since I have no institutional repository) is to be able to CC license my chapter and put it on my website (although maybe Iowa would let me put it in their repository, too, since I already have something else there?). I am wondering how much the book editors (who are MDs and may not be up on all this) will need me to explain, or how I should go about... more... - laura x

Definitely bring it up sooner and make the book editors ask the publisher. That book chapter I pulled last year? I had worked out self archiving with the editor no problem...the publisher came back with a hell no. - Hedgehog from Android

also: yay, you! - $tephanie•Cog$ciLibrarian

if Iowa's IR balks, consider E-LIS. - RepoRat

RR, would E-LIS be interested in an essay about motherhood and mental health that will likely have nothing to do with libraries? - laura x

At Catherine's excellent suggestion, I started by asking the editor who would retain copyright, explaining that I would like it if I did so I could self-archive, etc. Response: "Springer will own the copyright. This is how they typically operate and is spelled out in our contract. Because we are only asking for approx 2000 words, we did not feel this should infringe too much on other writings our authors have mentioned they are in the process of. Hope that won't preclude you from contributing." HEAD.DESK. - laura x

as an aside, Laura, HOW COOL IS THIS?!? - maʀtha

Well, "I've been asked" was a little presumptuous on my part--I saw the call and pitched them a chapter. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to explain open access to a very busy MD who clearly has no idea what it's about. - laura x

Wrote back, with my mom's suggested language: "Thank you for your prompt response. Let me explain briefly why I’m interested in copyright; I know that doctors are busy (my mom is), and that open access in scholarly publishing is not high on their radar. What I want to do is self-archive, so that I can guarantee open access to anyone—not commercially, but in interest of freedom of... more... - laura x

WELL DONE. - Catherine Pellegrino
