i guess my tweets aren't coming through... jello has a new advertising campaign, apparently, with the hashtag #fml ... i tweeted to them that it doesn't mean what they think it means :)

I think they're playing off it - knowing exactly what it means, but tweaking it? I hope? <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jellofml.com/&... ; - Christina Pikas - -

huh. apparently the secret purpose of the study that was just conducted was to respond to a request from the director of our researcher lab to investigate cutting our labor costs by 50%. Looks like we dodged that this time.

@Kirsten they don't have to tell us anything but they didn't really tell survey respondents what the purpose was for the survey or indeed that the survey wasn't written or conducted by the library. - Christina Pikas - -

I'd already tagged that to look at later. The first sentence in the abstract is a trigger, of course, since 70% of gold OA journals ****DON'T CHARGE AUTHORS***--but haven't read the rest yet. - Christina Pikas - -

i'm an idiot. had my nose out of joint about the way they changed who reviewed for ASIST a few years ago. This year my SIG put out a call for reviewers - i only got two and one was a conflict. when i asked asist they said if i'm willing they'll give me other reviews.... i think i now have 7. oh well, it will be interesting!

i think i asked this question before: I know there isn't a pre-made embeddable EngineeringVillage search form to use... it looks like the url doesn't have search term information in it... is there a way to create a form that initiates a search on engineeringvillage? the api for scopus is like you're going to display the info on your site

I asked my coworkers, since we use Git - one of our new guys recommended SmartGitHg 4 (for Win/Mac/Linux). Also recommended TortoiseGit (Win only). - Christina Pikas - -

common behavior? Summon results list - clicking on the title takes you to the full text not a page with more detailed citation information... is this typical for discovery services? This is how our new article search is and I find it weird.

kind of put out about RefWorks Flow... clearly they've identified a bunch of features lacking in RefWorks, but instead of adding/fixing, they want us to buy something different... hrumph. I only made it half way through this morning's webinar.

via Joe Hourcle on a mailing list. - Christina Pikas - -

this is in response to the ostp memo: As part of this planning process, a group of cooperating agencies (see list below) has requested that the National Research Council (NRC) Division on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education (DBASSE) organize two planning meetings. The agendas of these two meetings (one focusing on scientific data, and the other on scholarly publications) will primarily comprise time for stakeholder input, with brief introductory addresses by a select few experts and summarizing commentary by equally few rapporteurs. - Christina Pikas - -

Heartwarming: principal of local elementary school sent an e-mail to our ischool listserv to recruit a librarian. mentioned enthusiastic students, supportive community, and importance of library ... very nice. Of course from the very high performing school system, not from my county with the poorly performing school system
