I'm researching the language around the concept of "open." What are the different terms you have heard researchers use to denote "Open Access"?
I'll start: open source, free
I'm really curious, so drop a comment, even if it's a repeat of something someone else said.

I ran across that C&RL author's name yesterday in the course of doing other research and immediately felt my blood pressure rise.
Are rights retention policies the new open access policy?

Ugh, allergies really blow. Haha, get it? Like "blow your nose?"
Anyway, another thing that blows is a masked secret police force kidnapping people.
That REALLY blows.
This isba thing that happened yesterday and I honestly love this for them. youtu.be/jhBaJpzAR2k?...

Being an elder-millennial-probably-autistic parent with an ASD child is a marvelous opportunity to just spout random facts at each other all day without shame.

What is the chicken fried fascism is this DEI article in C&RL? I agree, bring back library Twitter, just for a little bit. I haven't seen librarians drag someone to filth in a while.

With @scalzi.com and others curating their spaces to encourage the use of alt text and other accessibility features, here’s a reminder about @veron4ica.com’s “capybara method” and other tools.
The @aacu.org is still accepting signatures on "A Call for Constructive Engagement." It's not too late.

Yes! The arts are essential, even children can learn this - "Frederick" by Leo Lionni is such an important lesson.
Photo of an artwork by J. Ross Davis, featuring the text of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 integrated with a photo of Andrew Jackson
Photo of an art exhibit placard that reads: J. Ross Davis, Cherokee Nation Indian Removal Act of 1830, 2021 Digital graphic on canvas, 40x30x1" Courtesy of the artist This Act of US Congress enabled the President (Andrew Jackson) to set-up territory in the west for Indians then "residing" in states in exchange for their homeland, to support their removal and "extinguish the Indian claim." The image integrates the text of this act with a photo of Jackson, whose policy was to remove Indians in Southern states who followed their own las and customs. They could remain only by adhering to prevailing social structures. Years before, Jackson provided US military support to Southern states dealing with "Indian problems." He allied with pro-US tribal leaders such as John Ross, Davis' ancestor, who later found Jackson to be a false friend. In 1832, Ross led the Cherokee Nation to win a US Supreme Court case to remain in Georgia ,but President Jackson ignored it. The subsequent "Trail of Tears" is retraced annually in the Cherokee Remember the Removal bike ride.
Just a reminder, when a president ignores a court order, that's how you get the Trail of Tears.
