@UoM_ITS Is accessing digital content offsite part of the issues you're dealing with? I'm getting "Your account has been suspended from using this service You will now be redirected." when going to any of the Lean Library / OCLC sites. Which category for a ticket on this?

Remember when we told you to be more productive and then you published a lot of articles but then we told you they weren’t in high impact journals and then you published in those high impact journals? Well, we decided those journals aren’t as good as they used to be. Sorry.

There are now so many notebooks / Jupyter books that are awesome at explaining stuff. Way better than papers. Why is there not a place to find them all? Why are they not cross linked? It’s a new ecosystem. It’s not papers with code. It’s mostly learning with code. I prefer.
