Thank you. I really like the way you have listed the support you provide and the timeframes. There are areas you list which I clearly need to develop my skills in and this is helpful for me also. As the solo teaching librarian for my institution, capacity is also a factor for me personally.

I have to send this reply more every semester.

But, sure, big scholarly publishers are our "partners."

Graffiti Limbo - JSTOR Daily A University of Virginia professor enlisted students to document the messages—profane, hopeful, despairing—left on library carrels by previous generations.

Before the University of Virginia undertook a library renovation, a group of anthropology students set out to document years of graffiti left on shelves and carrels. Their work now makes up the Alderman Library Graffiti Collection. bit.ly/4kEyaah
