Linky-loo
Things that deserve to be linked, but that I haven’t got time to comment extensively on:
- The University of California’s suggested faculty response to the scholarly communications crisis. I cannot begin to express how much I love this. Marvelous, wonderful, and I wish I could stand to live in California, because let me tell you that’s where the action is. If I have time I’ll blog and comment on some choice quotes.
- There’s no housing bubble in the DC area. Yeah. Right. (I am so very continuing to rent.)
- The CURES Act. It is a good thing. Write your congresscritter.
- Dan Chudnov on barriers in libraries. The money quote: “If anything, we might guess from the fall of the wall in Germany that barriers will fall… The choice we librarians need to make about the fall of our own barriers — and, I’ll predict, 2006 is the year to make our choice — is whether we wield the hammers ourselves, or whether we read about it online.” Hell. Yes. And I have some thoughts on this in a DSpace context, which I’ll have to keep saving up for later.
- Hold on to your hat… somebody’s gettin’ eaten alive for even thinking of running a repository on Windows. (I happen to agree that this is an inane idea, but I kept my hands off the keyboard because I didn’t care to be quite this, er, emphatic.)
- Locals: c’mon to the Fairfax Choral Society auction. A couple copies of David’s book are on the auction-block.
