Off for a first-of-the-season Tom and Jerry. Cheers! #fb
The contrast between last week and this is startling. It's very, very quiet. Nice, but a bit disconcerting. #fb
@CMatt52 Even though we lost, you had a great game yesterday!
Very quiet campus this morning. Listening to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and sipping coffee. Good morning, all....

Flight and hotel booked for #CIL2010. Cue the cherry blossoms, please! #fb
Winding down. Glad it's Friday afternoon! Very quiet all of the sudden... #fb
@edaniel And, sorry, "xmas" drives me nuts.
@NickBarnett Now tell him to tweet something, Nick! ; )
Juggling proctoring duties... #fb
Was just given a thank you card from a group of graduating students. What a lovely surprise...brought a tear to my eye, it did. #fb
MI changed the reporting structure of its press: now reports to the library rather than the graduate school. #umlibspkrs
Are libraries a partner in the intellectual enterprise, or a support service? Both. #umlibspkrs
Do we want university presses to succeed as businesses or as part of a scholarly structure? #umlibspkrs
Works produced with public funds ought to be open access immediately. #umlibspkrs
Suppose we no longer permitted, in our tenure reviews, for anyone to look at the name of the journal in which someone published? #umlibspkrs
Making public the work is an essential part of scholarship. There is no scholarship without publication. #umlibspkrs

What would the system of scholarly exchange look like if we didn't attach peer-reviewed publications? #umlibspkrs
He who receives an idea from me received instruction himself without lessening mine: #umlibspkrs
Carve out academic publishing. Treat the entertainment industry as you need to; let us have a different copyright. #umlibspkrs
We should head for open access and bite the bullet on payment. #umlibspkrs
Engage editorial boards and societies. There should be common interests here. #umlibspkrs
Scholarly work: We read, do other research, apply for funds and support, hire and promote, write, teach, and give talks. #umlibspkrs
The thing we care about is scholarship, not the institutions. #mnlibspkrs
Speech will be tweeted #umlibspkrs
