@SearchWorldCat Sharing one of my favorite books from 2022!

I have tears today, but they are tears of pride-- in my work, in my team, in our partners--and tears of gratitude for the resilience of the LAM community. #REALMproject #CovidLibraries #CovidArchives #CovidMuseums

O joy! WorldCat – @OCLC's immensely useful global library search engine, which I use daily – has a brand new, infinitely superior site, putting more than 400 million (!) books and millions of articles at our ever-grateful fingertips https://t.co/2NTq6pFk8g

[Constance Malpas @ConstanceM]

Colleagues @OCLC and @CRL_Global put in a lot of work to make this happen -- a major milestone in facilitating cooperative stewardship of print resources, https://t.co/gwoi4cfL6L Thanks to @MellonFdn for support!

@brian_Short_ @OHdeptofhealth Maybe try a quick fact check before spreading false information. So many things wrong with this piece of propaganda. https://t.co/rf58M1tt7k

@OCLC just added an interactive map to help libraries safely return #interlibraryloan books. This project relies on community-sourced data. Is your library on the map? #together #ResourceSharing https://t.co/TWaYMw244R

[OCLC @OCLC]

Does your library support international resource sharing? A new member story from Università Bocconi discusses how their strategy helps meet that commitment. https://t.co/YxAAm1Kh7n

Round 1 material testing is underway for #REALMproject (REopening Archives, Libraries, and Museums). 5 items commonly found in public libraries selected for initial testing. For more information see “Happening Now” project update page. https://t.co/VWiJQf61YY @WebJunction @IMLS

I've been considering picking the journaling habit back up for this very reason... 8 weeks into working from home and sheltering in place, i think it's time. #amwriting #COVID19

Learn how historical societies, libraries, archives, and museums are documenting daily life in COVID-19 times. https://t.co/wGqRSlG6DZ #covidlibraries

Exciting to see this collaboration. #InThisTogether

The new public-private #COVID19 research partnership will inform safe handling of library and museum collections to help organizations plan for reopening when ready. @OCLC @Battelle https://t.co/PUMpaUhWyQ

My library can be your library this Friday. Register to attend. Great STEM activity for girls!

So my ILL request just came through via @OCLC Article Exchange: a link, a password, a pdf (no clunky in browser reading or pdfs that explode after 24 hours). Librarians have built such amazing infrastructure. They should probably be running the country or something.
