It helped I was adjacent already I think, but I was really explicit in cover letters about how planning a museum program used the same skills as instruction, answering visitor questions could use the same muscle as reference interviewing, etc. It wasn’t library experience but skills transfer
Congratulations!
Cool!
What do you have with scratch and sniff?
Question for the archivists: Any tips for preserving card stock with scratch+sniff on it? 📜
Well now I just want to scream. What even?
The pollening has arrived, which would be better if the temperatures hadn’t dropped back into the 40s. Spring in Ohio.
Cleveland is my favorite
A stack of books by trans authors, topped by a “let trans kids bloom sticker and a “protect trans kids” print
It’s Transgender Day of Visibility! Reading trans authors all year long is one great way to support the community. There are so many more!
Such sad news
To be fair, I teared up at a still from Flow today so you’re not alone.
That is amazing! Congrats!
I’m so sorry
Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally:

Extremely useful
That’s awesome! Markers make amazing student projects! Ohio has had some great ones from high schoolers even.
This is such a lovely article that perfectly captures what it’s like working on markers. They really can be the best of local history.
Screenshot of a phone setting highlighting the “learn from this app” invasion of privacy, courtesy of Siri, toggled on. The app is a password manager, which is concerning.
Welp. Apple snuck something dirty in our phones last night.
Settings > Apps > (pick an app) > Siri > Learn From this App
TOGGLE OFF.
You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😡
Sharing! Most definitely sharing! 🤣

This is genius! I can’t wait to follow along!
I'll be doing an advent calendar of #SearchingSkills where you can try/learn something new every day.
It will be primarily in PubMed and sometimes using MeSH terms to answer the question.
It will be aimed at inexperienced searchers, but I hope experienced searchers will join in too!
It has been a hard week. It has been a hard couple of months (for all kinds of reasons). But at least the construction project to repair the water leaks in my reading room is finished and people were using it today!
It is freaking brilliant and so very you!
The light is on for Rachel Abbey McCafferty! @ramccafferty.bsky.social! 💡
"Again and again and again and" is a brilliant apocalyptic story that speaks to the cyclical nature of history. (The final question the story poses is also especially relevant!)
Read it now!
I’m sorry!
I need to read this!
Ooh thank you!
A public historian starter pack briefly floated past me and I lost it...can someone point me in its direction? Also in search of a #medlibs starter pack
Finally made it over here from The Bad Place! It's gonna take me a minute to get back in the groove of posting, but excited at how much this feels like the before times over there.
