You'd be surprised at how much of library budgets go toward paying for access, ie. paying for something but never owning it. It's about inadequate funding but it's also about how vendors have libraries over a barrel.

There's a person parked across the street from the college lying on the roof of their car looking at their phone. Weird, but in relation to the world today, also not weird.

I did a presentation for a history class today talking about marginalia and digging into our modest antiquarian collection. It was a blast. Easily the funnest presentation I've ever done as a librarian.

I'm doing a session for a history class on marginalia--I'm absolutely not an expert, but we don't have an archivist anymore. Anyway, found this article from 1941 that's just full of great stuff about writing in books & reading if you're into that...catholicliberaleducation.org/wp-content/u...
