Will Noel was everything that everyone is saying: brilliant, visionary, innovative, funny...

I want to add that he was also, often, especially and unexpectedly kind.

[Digital Medievalist @digitalmedieval]

We are extremely saddened to hear that Will Noel passed away yesterday. He was a pioneer in the field of digital manuscript studies, a relentless advocate of open access, friend and colleague to many in the DM community. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family.

@DLibatique10 @NSusmann You can use TSA pre for international. And yeah, I highly recommend Global Entry for next time. It wasn’t much more difficult or much more $$ and sooo worth it (and you still get TSA Pre). I am bummed that mine is finally expiring.

RT if you personally know someone with Covid right now.

@BeckyGraham1016 Emphatically Not Faculty, but it is in some small way comforting to know that faculty status wouldn’t “fix” this feeling. Although also sad. Sorry you’re experiencing this!

[Holy Cross Classics @CHC_Classics]

@DCdotNerd It is wild how often this happens!

@b4byflesh @nonbinaryNiqabi This is usually more receptionist than clinician, but - therapy is usually 9-5 same as work, and not everyone feels safe disclosing or even taking off with a regularity that suggests therapy. Please don't yell at me while I try to work around my complicated schedule!

[Jennifer LA Whelan @jladam10]

@BeckyGraham1016 Monday was my first day back. Instruction 9:30am Mon -- from 1.5 years remote to teaching F2F and masked. Still feels surreal, but if it's any comfort at all, there was so much to do the second I was back in my office, that I didn't really have time to panic. Sending good vibes!

Sooo glad I wasn't at this panel for all sorts of reasons, but if you're an academic frustrated with your library, PLEASE voice your support. Faculty voices matter tremendously - advocate for positions and funding. When you denigrate us, it furthers the excuses for defunding.

[Jennifer LA Whelan @jladam10]

@beastlibrarian SLAC here, we’re using media mail and not asking/paying for mailed returns at this point. We have had Access Svcs staff onsite continually since March scanning and handling faculty walk-ins, they are now doing the mailing as well (no idea about cost though...)

Kudos to our students for helping to revive NECJ with a new sense of purpose!

[Jennifer LA Whelan @jladam10]

@DLibatique10 So true.
