Standards, such as ONIX, are critical for a "smart" supply chain.

@PhilipLaughlin How many are memoirs about living through a pandemic?

[Derek Krissoff @DerekKrissoff]

Could just be me, but I’d trade one of the dozens of reports on open access currently in circulation for a single report on how to keep people who hate publishing as far as possible from university press reporting structures.

This is going to blow your mind.

We don’t have to choose between authors having their work pirated and having libraries offer ebooks.

We could INCREASE our library funding enough to compensate authors.

HOLY ****. It’s almost like everything doesn’t have to be an argument.

Thank you to everyone who logged in to our "Happy Hour" last night, and participated in the honest and open conversation.

We all have more important work to do.

[Zach, still celebrating Everlight ❇️ @ZacharyJLuna]

Pretty weird seeing people scoff at the idea of paying artists relief funds during this shutdown while also answering every "what are you doing during quarantine" post with "binge-ing tv shows, movies, books, comics and podcasts."
