Hello #librarians working with universities / higher-education. Has your library undertaken a major transition in the way it operates? I'd like to hear about peoples' experiences in which their library changed its model of dedicated subject/liaison librarians to a model such as a team-based one, functional one, etc. For example, was it a positive change for the community? Are you more or less able to be effective in your work? How did workloads change?

DOI suffixes may include several approved special characters, but they should never end with one.

End-of-string punctuation often prevents correct resolution. This month's ticket explains what characters are allowed and how to construct stable DOI suffixes. https://tinyurl.com/3ydap2kh

If libraries are the soul of a nation, what is parliment? I mean it can't be good 😜😂

Huge honour for me to receive such a feedback for "Ada & #Zangemann" by @brewsterkahle who founded archive.org and who is admired by #librarians around the world for his work! ☺️

@yosh This is absolutely true. And not just because I said as much many times during my career in libraries!

It may even have been doubly true for me because I worked in technical services, the "behind the scenes" stuff, rather than out at the reference desk. Even the reference librarians didn't know how we went about creating the online catalog they used to find stuff for researchers.

🗣 Thanks to Wiley for sharing this POV from ORCID Board Chair Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe.

Lisa: I'm a librarian. People can learn anything from a book! But that doesn't mean it's the best, most efficient way for people to learn things. And so I think Ai literacy is a great thing for universities to be working with students on right now.

It would sound better to call wikipedia an impressive feat of collaboration 🤔
But correcting people online is an annoying and fun activity we can do from home 😜
