A post on the awful new strategic direction of Clarivate
It will erode #Libraries offer, limit services, & fix the already broken ebook market into permanent "R&P" type arrangements
Bad for the #Library, bad for students, bad for academics, great for shareholders

Finding the Calm in the Chaos

Feeling quite meh this evening. Can't even face a glass of vino. Traitors then bed methinks.
I just don't understand the justification for such a high price.
Count me in!
Another conference over £500 with no accomodation included in that price.
I organised a conference last year, and we had sponsors, which meant we were able to make the conference affordable. We also didn't charge speakers as we felt that recognised the work they put in to speak at the conference. We also offered bursaries to those would not normally get the opportunity.
Especially when training budgets are non-existent at the moment. #bonkers
Well done! I taught myself by watching YouTube a few years ago!
Stars, gonks & penguins
Prosecco in a Christmas glass!
Christmas has arrived at Lancaster Towers!
Thanks!
Thank you. The Christmas tree is the one thing I've made that I am super proud of. It was a labor of love, buy is cherished by my Mum so was worth it! The gonks were a Friday night bottle of fizz project with my neighbour a few years ago. We have a set each!

In case you were interested.....
I know what you mean. Very odd!
Not sure why BBC R2 needed to play the national anthem just before 8am to wish the King 'Happy Birthday'? Pretty sure they never did that for Liz.... #odd
