First thesis at the University of Iowa with a Creative Commons license. Mine. - laura x from Bookmarklet

I should warn you that it was two pages too short when I got my MFA, but they let me pass anyway. I think now it would be 22 pages too short. - laura x

I guess the threat of perishing is a good motivator - Megan loves summer

It will be great because people love Google. Seriously. This has been my experience - maʀtha

Abstract: The article cites questions from the library survey of the journal "College and Undergraduate Libraries." One question is about the approximation of the number of linear feet of surveys a respondent would have if all past library surveys would be compiled. Respondents are also asked on the other factors that irritated them about library surveys. Other queries include the number of survey follow-up experienced by the respondent, reasons for filling out library surveys and respondents' plan on how to respond to the next library survey. - Steele Lawman

It's a federal law, Laura. - Steele Lawman

Layout/organization makes a big difference, I agree. Looks very nice and I'm looking forward to reading this when I have a moment or four. - Running Slow

Char Booth, and Deb Gilchrist both reinforce my fan-girl-dom this week. I am a seriously recalcitrant fan-girl, which just goes to show how awesome they are. - lris

I need someone to change my vision of liaison librarianship. [edit: that someone is probably me.] - Steele Lawman

Happy! - Jenica

Happy belated birthday Derrick! - the king of the interweb

I don't think I've ever been to so many inspiring sessions as I enjoyed at this ACRL. And yet, Lily wins as a highlight. *massive hug* - lris

Geez, that's high praise...but if that conference was any indication, I really like this whole "professional development" thing. (Also huge hug back.) - Lily

"The scientists who were recruited to appear at a conference called Entomology-2013 thought they had been selected to make a presentation to the leading professional association of scientists who study insects. But they found out the hard way that they were wrong. The prestigious, academically sanctioned conference they had in mind has a slightly different name: Entomology 2013 (without the hyphen). The one they had signed up for featured speakers who were recruited by e-mail, not vetted by leading academics. Those who agreed to appear were later charged a hefty fee for the privilege, and pretty much anyone who paid got a spot on the podium that could be used to pad a résumé. “I think we were duped,” one of the scientists wrote in an e-mail to the Entomological Society. Those scientists had stumbled into a parallel world of pseudo-academia, complete with prestigiously titled conferences and journals that sponsor them. Many of the journals and meetings have names that are nearly identical to those of established, well-known publications and events." - Katy S from Bookmarklet

Sigh. Jon Carroll, the SFChronicle's brilliant humor columnist, wrote a column based on this article. I've sent him a letter providing a few facts about OA. (And I know from previous experience that he actually reads email, so...) - Walt Crawford

srsly. wtf is so hard about "get this book from a library"? - RepoRat

Thought so. - Yo Joe. No, go slow.

On the OTHER hand, I really haven't thought this hard about firmware since... uh... 1996 or so. It's humbling to be reading clear, lucid prose at a speed of 1 page every 8 minutes. - Marianne

That sounds like a class practicing librarians should take every five years or so. Sounds awesome. (She says while doodling around the Internet pointlessly....) - barbara fister

yup. just agreed to do a DREADED EDITED COLLECTION with them cuz they have great policies AND the whole enchilada will be OA a year afterward - jambina

Small glow here ... Back in 2007 I co-authored a chapter for ACRL &, when i received the standard "all your rights are belong to us" contract, gently asked for a contract that allowed us to retain copyright (actually to acknowledge that the material had a Creative Commons license) . They had not had the request before, but were gracious and investigated it for us and that is what we signed. - Kathryn is Blake in Hindi

This afternoon I met for two hours with the most amazing dental hygiene student. Mostly, I just listened to her think aloud about the articles and other sources she had found for her lit review and we talked about her life and her job and her aspirations. She is so thoughtful, principled, driven, and insightful. She is operating way, way above the dental hygienist level. I told her to become a dentist and I think she was already considering it, so maybe she will. My students are awesome. - maʀtha

Liking for Martha connecting with someone in a meaningful way. - Marie

You know, the managers among us like to grumble "sometimes the problem is the employee" when we're frustrated, but the converse is true far more often, in my experience: Sometimes the problem is the workplace. If you can't be awesome there, and you can't find a way to make the place be awesome, find somewhere else to be awesome. :) - Jenica

Yay! - Kelli H. from Android

It's requiring a login "to see this page." I assume that's only until the page is needed (which I hope isn't any time soon)? - Betsy #TeamMonique

though, as an alternative, we *will* take food and drink. But only catered, with good booze. - Louise "Weezy" Alcorn

I should put together a timeline and attach to it the different projects I have done as I recall them and start filling in specifications I can glean from emails and remembered details - Jason - The Opaque

Thanks for the rec, Deborah. Memiary.com looks interesting. And Rebecca--great idea! - Yvonne

The huz laffed his ass off. :) - RepoRat

Yes, of course I thought of David first. :) - Steele Lawman
