We had a lovely presentation at MPOW today, by a well-known academic in the messy intersection of science and education, about a new open-access journal he’s helping launch. The presentation has been advertised for a week, sent out to the big library listserv at MPOW at least twice, and put up on the daily events calendar at the main library.
Fewer than ten librarians attended.
Just a datapoint. If I say any more I’ll dunk myself in the soup.

He querido más vivir en mi pequeña casa, exenta y señora, que no en sus ricos palacios, sojuzgada y cativa.
—Fernando de Rojas, La Celestina
(I prefer living in my little house, free and my own mistress, to living in their rich palaces, downtrodden and wretched.)
