"Perhaps most significantly, I struggle to see how this sort of transformation could ever be the result of incremental change from the current system."

Very good blog post: "Instead of journals, we need a universal platform for the publication of research ... At its simplest level, such a platform simply publishes and registers content ... Processes of quality assurance and peer review can be layered onto such a system"

[Chris Chapman @cd_chapman]

A chilling performance and gentle reminder to slow down, clear your thoughts, and listen to that inner voice, whatever your belief system. Slow Down - Sissel https://t.co/I2sMeZhDbK

Think about what a radical change this is. Formerly, historians would go to archives for weeks/months, slowly making their way through boxes of docs, thinking/reflecting/talking w/ archivists/others, asking for other docs…Now: quickly bring me and my iPhone everything, goodbye

A ‘turris sapientiae’ (tower of wisdom), ‘arbor vitiorum’ (tree of vices) and ‘arbor divinis amoris’ (tree of divine love), from a 15th century collection of religious texts digitized by our friends at the Herzog August Bibliothek for #PolonskyGerman: https://t.co/eRLW52at7p

So refreshing! "This is friendship. Aristotle placed it among the virtues. It causes perhaps half of all the happiness in the world, and no Inner Ring can ever have it."

For the past week or two, I’ve been mulling over this fascinating paper on the historical origins of open science. https://t.co/NP06Gro1a0

I think it has a lot to teach meta-scientists. However, it’s long and abstruse. This is my attemp to make the content more accessible 🧵

@lisalibrarian I like what you decided on for Toms shoes, but to clarify a couple concepts mentioned:

Social entrepreneurship: a generic term for any business with a social purpose.

Social business: the product directly effectuates the social good; it's not a side effect of the transaction.

The @ShuttleworthFoundation is open for Fellowship applications (Nov 3rd close) https://t.co/CJZ5urqQGo
The Fellowship funds *people* , not projects, to fight for Openness and justice.
If you have an idea, apply! It's not very time-consuming and the team is very helpful

The #netneutrality ruling came out this morning. While we wanted to see net neutrality protections restored by the FCC, we’re glad to see states empowered to protect people.

We’re not done fighting, though! We all must have access to an open internet.

This @IthakaSR report shows how academic libraries, already operating as platforms of services, are preferred destinations for students who are looking for all kinds of services. Why? Students trust their libraries and their librarians.
