RIP to the cataloging calculator webpage. I will mourn you for the rest of my life. 📚

Had a patron come in and say they were trying to get back into reading after not reading for a long time and I asked what they were reading and they said A Little Life.
And I looked at him.
And he looked at me.
And then we found different books for them.

Dang. You guys remember My Immortal?

That’s a good one

So……what books are we putting on our alien displays 📚

My med staff are having issues getting their papers for school to pass plagiarism checkers. (Mostly Turn It In) I know these papers are not plagiarized bc I help them. The things that Turn It In are flagging are statistics and symptom list. Is anyone else seeing this? 📚

Oh, for goodness' sake.

Interesting

Ascent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Ascent”) has manufactured about 20% of the nationwide supply of generic ADHD medications. Founded in 2011, it is one of the nation’s few minority-owned drug companies. It has operated for 12 years without any regulatory violations. In mid-2022, Ascent applied to DEA for its yearly quota of raw materials for 2023. After bumbling about for 18 months reviewing Ascent’s business records, DEA denied the quota applications on Friday, September 29, 2023 (the “Quota Denial”). Why? That is an excellent question—one DEA never answered in its final decision. The only justification DEA offered is that it “lacked confidence” in Ascent’s recordkeeping. The Quota Denial nowhere explains the basis for DEA’s alleged confidence gap. If that detail resides in the administrative complaint served (continued on next image)

(Continued from prior image) alongside the Quota Denial, DEA should be embarrassed: the errors in it reveal a fundamental inaptitude with DEA’s own recordkeeping requirements. This case highlights the perils of a hapless administrative agency, which acknowledged the scarcity of ADHD medications on the very day it effectively sought to shutter Ascent, a company with proven capability of quickly getting medicine to children in need. Ascent and patients have been victimized by DEA’s incompetence, having rendered an arbitrary, capricious, and unsubstantiated quota denial based on erroneous conclusions. DEA’s errors cannot credibly be denied. Yet, when presented with these errors, DEA stubbornly doubled down, as described below, ignoring the needs of ADHD patients. Now, a vibrant company, making critically important medications for kids, is on the precipice of extinction. This Court should set DEA straight and permit Ascent to continue making vital ADHD medicines by directing DEA to approve

New revelations on the Adderall shortage:
“This case highlights the perils of a hapless (DEA), which ironically acknowledged the scarcity of ADHD medications on the very day it effectively sought to shutter Ascent…(who) has manufactured about 20% of the nationwide supply of generic ADHD medications”

Y’all….. 💀💀 📚

It’s independently published and does have a “about the author” section in the toc but the entire section is just…..missing from the book

Far too many libraries' Banned Books Week displays will present these book challenges as petty nuisances rather than active, growing threats to democracy. Libraries are being defunded, receiving bomb threats, librarians being fired; our usual approach with caution tape ain't gonna do justice. 📚

Reading the new Wayward Children book (Lost in the Moment and Found) and I I firmly believe that this book is a perfect example of why trigger warnings work in literature. The way @seananmcguire.bsky.social let you know that it’s there but it’s going to be okay….just thank you. 📚

Has anyone found a way to integrate their outlook calendar with their iOS calendar through Comp Portal yet? I really hate having two calendars on my phone. 📚

Sorry to barge in but I didn’t want to flood your feed with more request. Can I also get added?
