My life has brought Linda Hill and her work to my attention several times recently. Time to read/watch some of her stuff. #wintechseries East Coast

Great news!

Good news for librarians and staffers @HarvardLibrary. You will now own the copyrights to your works of scholarship. (In legalese, those works are no longer covered by the work-for-hire doctrine.)

Good although quick look at different SR software options. I like DistillerSR, paying for it is a different issue. #UMTHLSysRev

Ooh, list of SR tools from UBC libraries: https://t.co/1jqkgtATPB

Beautiful chapel in Stinson-Remick Hall, college of engineering. #GLSBC

Pre-1950s literature is key to color test for chemicals. At the heart of developing the paper analytic device for field testing drugs #GLSBC

HTC is not a field test. <general laughter> The comment accompanied a photo of unloading a 250 kg HTC in Africa. #GLSBC

[Amy Van Epps @vanepa]

One of these contains a fake that is just colored corn starch. Can you tell which one? I can't. #MLieberman #GLSBC

[Amy Van Epps @vanepa]

Really wishing the breaks included decaf coffee as an option. #GLSBC
