Information Wants To Be Free

“I need three peer reviewed articles” or the Fresh

for the past six and a half years, i have been teaching freshman about peer-review and how to find peer-reviewed articles through the library (or google scholar). i’ve developed all sorts of activities in different disciplines to get students thinking about audience, writing style, and the format of the articles they find. and every year, i bec...

Invisible goalposts, support and having a plan

this summer, i was engaged with quite a few projects (several of which i was in charge of), but was able to make time to focus on scholarship just about every friday. part of that, in my opinion, is this blog. this is how i engage with the profession, share my ideas, and have professional conversations with others. my writing here is certainly d...

Becoming Zen in the face of criticism

it’s been extremely challenging to post here regularly (though i’m getting better about it!), not because of a lack of ideas, but because of a lack of down-time. summer came late (like mid-july!) to portland and we’re trying to make the most of it before the days of endless gray descend. i’m lucky that i don’t suffer from seasonal affective...

Faculty inertia and change in scholarly publishing

i loved barbara fister’s recent post, “breaking news: academic journals are really expensive!”, about faculty who seem surprised that journals cost the library a lot. kind of amazing to think that these are people who produce and review content for these journals. and the quote from peter murray-rust’s blog stating that “[librarians] should...

Library Day in the Life – Monday

i figured that since i’ve changed jobs from the last time i did library day in the life, i’d participate this time around to give people a sense of what a head of instructional services does at a large urban university. after writing this up, i realize that this day was no more typical for me than any other. each week, each day, is so differen...
