@authorjaycellis I just laughed so loud at the vow renewal in this book. Corey and Bruno are the best!

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

@HickmanPierson Thanks. The particular journal I'm working on has a more formal pitch process (they want an outline! or a draft! and I'm not there yet). I'm trying to figure out the balance between "submit ASAP since it's for a specific issue" and "prove value by writing the whole thing."

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

Have any of my peeps successfully proposed an article for a state bar journal (trade publication, not peer-reviewed)? Can you share your experience with me?

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

@petulad @dclinenews This is great news, but/and is anyone going to make changes to policies so that this doesn't happen again?

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

@PirateQueenKate Steps and COLA, that's it.

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

Looking for advice from #LawLibrarians: is there a way to identify (pref. on @HeinOnline but other resources are options) journal special issues on a given topic? I searched for "special issue" and "[topic]" but that was way too broad.

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

I thought the overly salty miso soup at [redacted] was a one-time aberration, but I just got it again and my mouth feels like I drank the Dead Sea.

@HeinOnline You really ARE my bestie!

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

Okay folks, is there a way to search the Maryland Bar Journal other than MSBA membership? Is it really not available through HeinOnline?

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

@HeinOnline Okay, new question, bestie: is there a way to export search results in xls/csv?

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

@HeinOnline You mean I have to take responsibility for my own professional development?! HORRORS. (I'm too busy doing research about lawyers ignoring librarians.)

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

@HeinOnline Wow, I think I need a tutorial in how to use your product since it just took me multiple attempts even with a screenshot to find it. But hooray! Thank you for finding it for me :-)

Late afternoon caffeine (I did know better) plus an Olivia Dade novella equals me awake much too late.

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

Anecdote: I stopped reading the Maryland Bar Journal when I read an article that used the word "tenant" instead of "tenet." But I'm proposing an article so should have some more recent experience with it.

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

@ColleenUALawLib You're the best, thank you!!

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

Are any of you law librarians in Arkansas? I'm having a "I'm too lazy to spend any more time on this question that I really want an answer to" moment.

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

@ColleenUALawLib +being considered unauthorized practice of law. But when I checked the AR Judiciary website, I didn't see anything in the rules or administrative orders that seemed to be relevant. Did the rules not get changed in 2015/2016, or was I looking in the wrong place? Thanks!

[RAK @DCdotNerd]

@ColleenUALawLib Amazing! Since I can't DM you, please forgive this being multiple tweets long. I was reading a 2015 article that mentioned a rule change proposed to the AR Supreme Court by the AR ATJ Commission about defining the activities that could be done by court staff without +

@maustermuhle @wamu885 @DCist 😭😭😭😭

@holly It's more that I might have given different names altogether if I were going to give a longer name. I DID find that I needed to give Skates a middle name so he would know when he was in trouble.
