Libraries, publishing, and the gray areas in between.

Shoutout to the library folks at smaller libraries who are doing tech support on the weekends when their libraries are closed. E-resource access has the promise of 24/7 but staffing does not always support this. #ERMN22

MSU Mankato Post Cancellation Access Collections to Improve ER Troubleshooting and Collection Development https://t.co/T8zIGJVW9k
#ERMN22

[Rita Baladad @editorex]

MSU Mankato uses the term post-cancellation access (PCA), not "perpetual rights". MSU does not count flat files (CD-ROMS, etc) as post-cancellation access: PCA for e-resources must include hosting. (slow clap) #ERMN22

[Rita Baladad @editorex]

Another benefit of separate PCA/current collections: easier to maintain on the backend if/when library has to cancel a resource #ERMN22

[Rita Baladad @editorex]

One benefit of having a PCA collection and a current collection: instructors can make more informed decisions about what to include in their syllabi #ERMN22

@panoptigoth Your talk made me feel SEEN. Thanks for an interesting framework for thinking about what we do (and maybe talking to other people about it, too).

E-resources magic: these systems are invisible until they break. The way we describe our work has a bit of vocational awe. Scarlet Galvan https://t.co/bZytHPSfyo #ERMN22

@mberkowski gah! The Gap now has a "Mom Jeans" category <sigh>. Even when I did weigh less than 100 lbs this was neither comfortable nor fashionable

[Rita Baladad @editorex]

@laffertylib @kalanKDavis @mberkowski scrunchies were out? (RBG! oh: she's an old, too)

Try something new, paddling outfitters that make better gear (their food pack is awesome) https://t.co/CpsJmLGX0I
