At least the new @SEPTA_SOCIAL app isn't asking me if I want to download a new schedule every time I use it...that did drive me crazy.
I'm hoping in time I will find some other positives about the new app.

[steven bell @blendedlib]

@SEPTAPHILLY Will the new app show how late a train is? Looks like it only shows minutes to arrival...and that's not quite as helpful

When I try to search temple university as a work destination it is not found... how is that possible? Am I doing anything wrong? Also I want to favorite Haverford station to temple station on PAO but it's not finding the temple station on Berks. Any advice?

[steven bell @blendedlib]

@SEPTA @SEPTA_SOCIAL Any chance you would have service to Bryn mawr or Malvern...since this problem is out at paoli

Waffles are a great way to bring faculty together with library staff to celebrate our open education accomplishments.

@mikelark @jsench We had a student this semester, when provided with call numbers for the books they asked for, then asked "what am I supposed to do with these". It is rare but likely to increase as school districts eliminate libraries and professional librarians to staff them.

Kudos to @hovious for sharing the ways in which blended librarianship impacted ACRL standards for instruction proficiency. The BL online learning community was the first to offer free regular webcasts educating librarians about instruction design #infolit

If you were wondering why conservatives want to defund #libraries @TheOnion can help you gain some insight into that line of thinking.

This sounds about right for MPOW. Probably even fewer full remote and that's just in the IT area. We've been supporting WFH and hybrid work since before the pandemic. This appears to be the path going forward.

@SEPTA_SOCIAL Thanks...but not one announcement or mention on schedule board but heard a fox chase train cancellation announcement about 50 times

[steven bell @blendedlib]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL what happened to the 4:59 Bryn mawr local that is supposed to stop at Temple...it went right by without stopping. Not good.

[steven bell @blendedlib]

Important findings in this study about the relationship between awareness of support services and student success. Too few students report awareness of library support. Collaborating with academic advisers and student success coaches may be one solution.

Wow. Talk about a renewable, open pedagogy assignment where future classes continue the work of prior students. I'm guessing the instructor didn't plan it that way... but it seems to stand as a good, if not reproducible, example.

Is Sci-Hub a threat to the future of academic #library collections? According to this article it is.
