Several kindly librarians of my acquaintance tried to convince me yesterday that indeed I am a rockstar. Evidence clearly shows otherwise, but thanks to them anyway.
One told me (paraphrased), “I wouldn’t know anything much about open access if not for you.”
Y’know, I said academic librarians were largely ignorant of OA in Roach Motel, and I got some pushback on that. I’d like the pushers-back to kindly buy me a drink now. Yeah, yeah, you’re not ignorant, sure. I challenge you to find five others at YPOW not directly working with an institutional repository or OA publishing program who aren’t. Just five. I’m guessing that if you can even do it, it’ll take work.
Trailblazing. Bah. It is for the birds.
