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

we get that a lot. people assume we have no more journal subscriptions for some reason the second they encounter any friction. <sniff> you don't love us anymore now that you're not called a library! - Christina Pikas - -

Ah yes, the "I looked for it but the library had NO literature on any of this very common subject...so on Google it said..." effect. - Christina Pikas - -

help me understand, please: AGU JGR journals - in about 5 sections - all sections had the same ISSN until January, now each has its own. 1) new catalog entry required? 2) what happens with sfx - if it's a 2012 article it will use previous issn and a 2013 it will use new or it won't use the issn or.... ? 3) also it appears that WoS dropped coverage

but these are pretty important journals... so mistake due to platform change or issn or ? - Christina Pikas - -

Interesting news. My county publib - where I worked full time 10 years ago and some Sundays until budget cuts - is doing away with the branch manager positions for all 22 +\- branches and will have a few "area" managers. Seems that they're all retiring. Hm. Could be a wise move but potentially tricky day to day

Funny how *all* of them are retiring at the same time - Christina Pikas - -

DOE to post funded publications after an embargo period? "Dr. Warnick will present PAGES (Public Access Gateway for Energy and Science), a web-based portal that will ensure that, after an embargo period, scholarly publications sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE) are publicly accessible and searchable at no charge to readers"

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

maybe jumped the gun... it continues: PAGES is designed to take advantage of the public access efforts of publishers by linking, via digital object identifiers (DOIs), to DOE articles they make publicly accessible. Each such article serves as the Version of Record, and it is hosted by the publisher. Thus, PAGES will avoid duplicating the public access efforts of publishers. When DOE articles are not publicly accessible, PAGES will focus on accepted manuscripts. Specifically, after an embargo period, it will link, via URLs, to publicly accessible manuscripts hosted by institutional repositories. For those instances where free public access is offered neither by a publisher nor by an institutional repository, the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information will host the accepted manuscript and display it after an embargo period - Christina Pikas - -
