"The more you praise & celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate." Quote from my Dove candy wrapper. I like it!

My favorite quote from #MAALL2024:

Arguably librarians are the Hello Fresh of the information world.

The FDA authorized the new version of the covid vaccine

Which prompted my parents to ask me whether they should get their annual covid vaccine now

My response? I'd wait until late October

So here's my thinking

First, I think the summer COVID wave has largely peaked (some regions may still rise for another week or two)

So getting a vaccine in the upcoming weeks (when vaccines will become available in your pharmacy) is probably not optimal

Instead, I told them that they should get their covid and flu vaccine together in late October, ideally by Halloween

That sets them up to be optimally protected for the winter -- where we get both flu and usually a bigger winter covid wave (along with RSV and other respiratory infections)

If you got a vaccine now, you would get some benefit in the upcoming couple of months

But would be more vulnerable if the winter wave arrives in December or January

At the end of the day, the most important thing is that -higher risk folks (older people, chronically ill and immunocompromised folks) get vaccinated

So if you want to get it now, its fine

But to me, late October is probably a better time -- and I would get both covid and flu shots then

@aallnet I wasn't able to attend this year due to illness. Would love to hear about this session from attendees. Any recommended reading, tools, etc.? Missing my #AALL24 peeps

Interesting case that shows one of the limits of current statutory compilation. Court wants to cite the Navajo-Hopi Settlement Act, which was in the US Code, but was removed in 2016 by OLRC during a reclassification. So, court cites the US Code as it existed in 2012...1/3

Just read this excellent piece discussing the importance of scholarly monographs. Highly recommend not only for librarians, but for everyone in the academy. #legaled #lawlibraries

@jallison02140 I often tell administrators that Melissa Serfass and Kathryn Fitzhugh taught me everything I know about reference, and if I am a good librarian they get the credit!

[Jessie Burchfield @jwburchfield]

@jallison02140 I’m thankful my colleagues were never like that. We are supposed to freely share information with our constituents; certainly mentoring less experienced colleagues should be part of that.

Looks like a great event!

A potentially large severe weather event is expected late this afternoon/tonight from the southern Plains to the mid-Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. In Arkansas, the event will unfold after dark mainly north/west of Little Rock. All severe weather modes are in play.
