So House of the Dragon on HBO Aug 21. At first I said Faux Game of Thrones. But on second thought, Game of Faux Thrones has a nice twang to it.

@mragucci If you must sit through a business meeting, prep a tick sheet of business jargon and then tick as you go. CAGR, Forecast, Budget, KPI, Pipeline, Q1, etc. Makes it more fun.

@rschon You probably can't say more, but I sure would like to hear more. Maybe through other channels.

I presented to about 30 institutions at the Upstate NY Science Librarians Conference last October. My poll question: If terms seemed fair, would you favor joining a transformational agreement? 50% yes, 50% maybe. 0% no.

I read that Cornell, Princeton and my Middlebury closed the doors, encouraged everyone to leave, and finished online due to Omicron. If this can happen in rural Vermont, it can happen anywhere.

@librarianmegs My offense, to which I confess, is to very occasionally send an e-mail to more people than necessary. But I need to be desperate to do so. And no rudeness!

@rschon @lisalibrarian @bc_butler Something about self-identifying as a super follower is a little tough for me. Oh yeah, that's me, a groupie x 10.

@jillemery My whole year seems to be rotating around this point. I am dubbing my 2020 theme access, convenience and privacy.

Kent Anderson seems to be the one person that can stop an information industry conference dead. In a good way.

[Robert W. Boissy @RWBoissy]

@chrisbulock Ouch.

[Robert W. Boissy @RWBoissy]

@RickyPo @vestager @SylvieVullioud So at the end of the day the OA availability is less important than the path taken to the OA availability? I respectfully disagree.

[Robert W. Boissy @RWBoissy]

@enyacrl Do we know anything about the 2018 ENY ACRL Conference yet? We want to get behind it. Date and place would be a start. Bob @SpringerNature
