Reading or was it Chartier 2002 “the practical impact of writing”? We discussed audiobooks, picture books, textbooks, etc. and then argued about it (in good fun). I think the discussion stemmed from a DQ or a reading…Any help would be so appreciated!
@melissa1776 in spring of 2018 when I was your student in IS 502, we had an engaging class discussion of “what is reading.” I am unexpectedly teaching a reading course & want my students to have that discussion. Was there a text assigned that talked about definitions or modes of
I know we can’t archive all of Twitter, but please library land know this: a pandemic is both a great and a bad time to be a science librarian. I’ve got source evaluation whiplash 🤪
The problem is not with preprints but that preprints are OA. Preprints don't need paywalls; they need "authority walls," making specialized content available only to trained professionals. [Covers head as firestorm begins.]
I planned to teach about primary/secondary articles in a discipline this morning, but no one could define peer review. Cheers to the people who taught me it’s okay to meet students where they are in a lesson. But I need a sign that says “none of this is absolute; it depends.”

Friday is my day to usually catch up on news in higher ed and libraries. I’m manifesting now that maybe (maybe?) the news will be less awful next week. Come on HE fam, don’t let me down! 😂
Cannot believe I’m coming back from my Twitter hiatus just to say I love the @ResearcherApp I definitely have to get this into the hands of students. When I discovered it had EZproxy capabilities, I was floored.

Last week I just started teaching in an incognito browser when I did zoom lectures so that databases wouldn’t crash or keep cache errors. But now I’m thinking—was I just late to this or should this have been standardized and addressed by admin in some way? For privacy, too.
Home ownership in an HOA looks like researching weed and feed on your lunch break. Wish I could just have a natural lawn but c’est la vie. (I’m less than enthused.)
@cxorlando Hades, but I’m afraid that 1) that’s too literal and 2) people are gonna worry that I found the blue god with flames for hair and James Woods’s voice from Disney good looking
