Serious question to all the graduate schools telling students not to come to campus anymore bc of coronavirus but telling staff a different story. Are grad students “students” or “staff” today? (Since it changes based on what best suits the university that day) #AcademicChatter

How can we emulate libraries' previous response to the Patriot Act, which allowed the FBI to access patron records, by posting signs like these?

[Alyssa Maynard @Libralyssarian]

How can your library ensure through actions (not empty words) that its community is safe and more important than easy and cowardly compliance with fascism?

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

A great thread on library materials access, open access, and related topics- information access is far more complex than you think #librarylife

[Alyssa Maynard @Libralyssarian]

An exhibit about youth living with disabilities that includes accessible features and services is a fantastic idea! Well done. @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

Wow, I know I should have expected it to look incredibly different, but this is wild! I'm so glad we have repositories like Dome to help us see how things have changed over time! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

@LauraLIS453 @mikeleach42 I finished that last week, I hope you enjoy it! I don't know if you got turned onto it from the Big Library Read like I did, but in case you didn't, I wanted to recommend checking out their website https://t.co/VBay1UZHrS

@LauraLIS453 @mikeleach42 (For context, the idea is to allow anyone to be able to move them, not just staff)

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

@LauraLIS453 @mikeleach42 We've talked about having some shelves on wheels for our big library renovation- though in some ways it seems cool, a number of us have a lot of concerns about accessibility issues (from the potential to block pathways to findability issues...)- I wonder how they deal with that!

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

I wish I had a photo of the last time she displayed book jackets she'd collected in the space below the display (we remove book jackets from all stacks items at Rotch), where she added the call numbers to them so people would know where to find them in the stacks #lis453fa19

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

One of my colleagues curates our new books display at #RotchLibrary, and always does a great job of choosing books with cool covers or interesting titles @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

Databases are a crucial aspect of any academic library (and other types, of course)- finding different ways to promote them to users can only help with their research! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Stanford University Libraries @StanfordLibs]

Databases of the week - Accelerate your research by using xSearch, Funding Resources, and Chemical Safety search

Developed by @StanfordLibs & Deep Web Technologies, these databases are grouped by subject & multiple subjects can be searched at once.

Book clubs are a great way to promote individual titles, but also to bring users into the library to expose them to more materials they may be interested in! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Boston Public Library @BPLBoston]

Did you know the BPL hosts book clubs? They're available at several branches and cater to readers of all ages! Find a book club near you: https://t.co/VGGqiOGkCT.

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

Sometimes it's easy to forget that images are an important part of collections, too, but the BPL's gallery highlights some of these- and their digitization of the images helps make them more accessible to a larger population! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Boston Public Library @BPLBoston]

It's time for ROUND TWO of our series highlighting the reproductions of a range of objects from the library’s special collections on display in Gallery J @BPLBoston! Have you seen them? You can also find them and more online: https://t.co/4iSlSR6kAo, https://t.co/T896Oas3Jn.

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

@KarenJaneGraha1 @mikeleach42 Yes! One of our super cool special collections items, and if I recall correctly it's a shopping list :)

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

This is a great example of sharing some new special collections material with the community, showing a cool sample and linking to more materials of potential interest @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Stanford University Libraries @StanfordLibs]

New Rare Books and Early Manuscripts

The rare book and early manuscript additions to our collections include items ranging from the 13th Century all the way up to 20th Century. Find out more here:

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

I really like this display- materials are spread out nicely so you can really look at each of them, and there are multiple copies of most books available, which can help patrons know it's okay to take one! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Cambridge Public Library @cambridgepl]

It's a great day to swing through and grab a new book! Come and see what's for you.

Promotional events with
authors are a great way to expose community members to new material they may enjoy! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Sachem Library @sachemlibrary]

Thank you to authors Susan Isaacs, Peter Blauner, Reed Farrel Coleman and host, Larry Davidson for joining us last night. Conversations with Writers was enjoyed by all! @SusanIsaacsNY @peterblauner @ReedFColeman #authors #crime #libraryprogram #books #novels

[Jaclyn Wilson @JaclynDWilson]

The #BehindTheBook videos from @hkslibrary are a really cool way to engage readers and promote books by authors from the Harvard Kennedy School- definitely an idea I'd like to keep in mind for future promotional work! @mikeleach42 #lis453fa19

[Harvard Library @HarvardLibrary]

From @hkslibrary, a new Behind the Book video! @Harvard faculty @maya_sen and @matt_blackwell discuss their book (with Aditya Anchari), Deep Roots: How Slavery Still Shapes Southern Politics 🎥 https://t.co/5v5dkdOhuh
