Drawing on a new survey of the German scholarly blogosphere, Heinz Pampel and Catharina Ochsner find a fragile blogging ecosystem and argue for renewed focus on preserving this form of scholarly communication."

Is there a guide somewhere on how to properly upload a music album to the Internet Archive? I've read about the basic stuff but I'd like to also add more stuff besides the music and cover: a scan of the booklet/back/spine as well as stuff like CUE/TOC files. Basically everything that's needed to preserve it entirely.

"Scientists breathe new life into climate website after shutdown under Trump."
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/30/climate-gov-website-trump
"Earlier this summer, access to climate.gov…was thwarted by the Trump administration, and its production team was fired in the process… Now, a team of climate communication experts – including many members of the former climate.gov team – is working to resurrect its content into a new organization with an expanded mission. Their effort’s new website, climate.us, would not only offer public-facing interpretations of climate science, but could also begin to directly offer climate-related services, such as assisting local governments with mapping increased flooding risk due to climate change."
