A brief article about my experience with @VuFindorg (and open source generally) has just been published in EBSCO's "Open Perspectives" series: https://t.co/ULCP0qwNRM

@philipjreed, just saw your blog post at https://t.co/Nf8PZostI2. Mind if I reproduce this ad at https://t.co/riqlVQo9MF? Do you happen to know which issue of White Dwarf it came from? Thanks!

Any library technologists out there interested in working with me at Villanova? If so, please apply for this job: https://t.co/wccQXoOIOt

@xfoml Congratulations on this important find! If I can do anything to support the gamebook side of your research, please let me know.

@Marie_LSJ @djohnevans @DimeNovelBiblio The goal is to use https://t.co/IrYH2vKQ0F as an aggregator across many institutions, also including @VillanovaDigLib and @usflibraries.

[Demian Katz @demiankatz]

@Marie_LSJ @djohnevans @DimeNovelBiblio https://t.co/IrYH2vKQ0F is a global database of all dime novel data. NIU hosts a repository of their own digitized dime novel issues.

[Demian Katz @demiankatz]

@Marie_LSJ @djohnevans @DimeNovelBiblio Yes, https://t.co/8lyVhuRVhy is the digital repository at NIU; all metadata from there will be auto-ingested into https://t.co/IrYH2vKQ0F.

@Marie_LSJ @DimeNovelBiblio As you say, the emphasis is currently on relationships, but I hope to do other things a bit better over time.

[Demian Katz @demiankatz]

@Marie_LSJ @DimeNovelBiblio The UI is in some ways behind the data model; some displays need revision for clarity, but the TODO list is long and, alas, time is short.

Interesting session on IPFS at #ldcx today. Note available here: https://t.co/bPGCPGPiM4

@SgWingo What do you know? I'm not on the cutting room floor after all. ;-) Glad Matt's quote about sea monsters and zombies made it in too.

I was a bit late to learn this very sad news. RIP, Joe Dever. https://t.co/Ba3ekmf4eF

My article on early gamebook "Treasure Hunt" (and two reviews) can be found in the new Fighting Fantazine (#15) https://t.co/SjKoYJXuL6

[Demian Katz @demiankatz]

@ejlynema See some details and useful links at https://t.co/sQsMGsROa1 -- I'm also happy to answer any questions that arise.

[Demian Katz @demiankatz]

@librarywebchic @ejlynema I wouldn't say that Jenkins "just works" -- lots of config -- but it can be useful to fill gaps that Travis can't.

[Demian Katz @demiankatz]

@FisherPriceTT I can email you a preview of the article if you'd like to see it; might not be too late for corrections/additions.

[Demian Katz @demiankatz]

@FisherPriceTT ...it took me a couple of years to act on your lead, and I think I had trouble finding the original email by then.

[Demian Katz @demiankatz]

@FisherPriceTT Thanks again for the lead, and apologies if I don't give you enough credit in the article...
