We’re in Week 13 of 16 of the Collaborative Marketing for Electronic Resources project, nearing the finish. This has been such a satisfying project on a personal level, training around 100 librarians in how to construct a marketing plan for their libraries’ electronic resources. I’m really looking forward to sifting all the data that results from the project. I’ll be reporting on the project – the impetus, the planning, the execution and results of the effort – at the upcoming annual conference, Electronic Resources & Libraries. Here’s a link to the brief abstract for the prese...

Recently, TN state rep Richard Floyd declared he would “stomp” any transgender woman who happened to be around him and his family. This past week, he complained mightily about the reaction he’s getting, and declared,
I never said anything about violence. I said what I would do personally if my family was involved, and I meant every single word of it….Do I regret saying it? No, I don’t regret saying it. Would I do it? Yes I would.
No, you don’t get to threaten to “stomp” a segment of your constituency just for being around, then claim you “never said anything about violenc...

Note from a friend:
“…[W]hen a book is returned and is to go on hold, the computers all have this quick audio clip (from star trek) that says “Something’s wrong!”
We wanna change it to something funny and more lighthearted. any thoughts?”
This started me thinking about sound clips that could be integrated into an ILS/LMS or into one’s own PC if one is fond of library humor.

This report is a review of progress within the health and care system towards meeting ‘The Nicholson Challenge’ to find £20bn in efficiency savings by 2014-15 against the backdrop of unprecedented healthcare reform. It identifies that the key pressures which are building in the system arise from the fact that demand is continuing to grow at a time when health and social care budgets have stopped growing. In order to achieve this it recognises the importance of developing new structures which deliver genuinely integrated services.
In order to achieve these savings it suggests hospitals were resorting to short-...

The theme for this year’s Blog for Choice Day is: “What will you do to help elect pro-choice candidates in 2012?”
I have to confess, I’m extremely bad about helping people get elected. I will write blog posts letters to elected officials all day long, but have not historically been very active in either donating to candidates/causes or taking actions like canvassing on their behalf. This year, taking in-person action might be even more difficult due to living car-free, but I’m alarmed enough by the apparent uptick in anti-choice legislative activity that I think I need to do better and more.

Thanks to Jason Puckett, I’ve become a huge fan of Zotero.
So I’d collected a cast number of citations in Zotero, but needed to export them in a custom format to a .csv if I wanted to upload them into another database. I was also a little put-off that Zotero’s search wasn’t more powerful (that’s just me being picky- Zotero is awesome and anyone who says otherwise will get an earful from me).
A little Googling led me to this post by Royce Kimmons that discusses how to query Zotero’s SQLite database.

Tennessee State Rep Richard Floyd Threatens to “Stomp” Transgender WomenEmail this article to a colleague.

Tennessee State Representative Richard Floyd has introduced a bill that would make it a crime for people to be in a sex-specific bathroom or dressing room (i.e., one designated for men or women) that doesn’t match the sex given on their birth certificate.
Tennessee does not allow transgender people to have their birth certificates changed, so if the bill were passed, there would actually be no legal bathrooms for transgender men and women to use in any state government building. (It’s unclear to me whether this might also apply to other public restrooms in non-governmental buildings)

HR 3699, the Research Works Act, has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives to undo progress made in increasing taxpayer access to research funded by our tax dollars.
Introduced by California’s Darrell Issa and New York’s Carolyn Maloney, the bill would prevent the government from requiring that papers resulting from taxpayer-funded research be deposited online for free access to those taxpayers. In other words, it’s meant to protect the income streams of publishers, even when that income is derived from publishing the results of research studies funded by the government, works that should ...

Women’s Health News has been around since May 2005, and has always focused on women’s health – but tending to focus on reproductive health and rights, and always with my own kind of feminist take on the politics. The last several years have provided plenty of fodder in that area – the constant churn of anti-woman, anti-choice attacks is a source of material, but it’s also somewhat tiring. Just when y...

If you’re an academic e-resources librarian you know that during the school year you are in a holding pattern, continually looping to the right, with fingers crossed that e-resource platforms and interfaces remain stable and accessible. The goal of the academic e-resource librarian during the school year is “no change.” We want our patrons to have seamless access in exactly the same way, all semester long. This maximizes their productivity because they know what to expect when they go to a vendor platform; changes mid-semester are awful for researchers because they have to stop their research to learn how...

BGSU students were most successful navigating the library’s database web pages when they were looking for the names of specific resources, not when they were browsing by subject. Therefore, if we want students to use a wider range of our resources, it is crucial that we teach them to recognize the resources that will be useful for them. … One way to do this might be to connect lesser-known databases to the most popular ones (for example, Project MUSE and JSTOR, Factiva ...
