This is so nice. I love libraries.

"We are told that AI is inevitable, that we must adapt or be left behind. But universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically." www.ru.nl/en/research/...

Very nice photo! Congratulations on your decade in Norway!

Although I see Scopus is listed as an alternative, which undercuts the symbolism a little? This is not to be negative, it is a big symbolic step. But practically, I know a number of institutions have been in the situation of cutting one already due to budgetary reasons and overlap.

Interesting! "Closed commercial databases, such as Web of Science, are not in line with our desire to work with open research information as much as possible. The UU signed the Barcelona Declaration in 2024 to this effect."

If I'm honest, it's taken me longer than it should have to get to grips with what it does, ticking along behind things - but yes!

Sounds like something my colleagues at the law library could probably help with :) www.uib.no/ub/76645/ret...

På torsdag er det gratis online seminar (Open Science Lunch) hvor jeg skal snakke om da tidskriftet "vårt" ble kapret og det ble produsert falske artikler i mitt navn. Kom og hør en ekte røverhistorie fra akademia! www.ub.uio.no/english/cour...

Nice to add @ubuit.bsky.social - the first UH-library account I've come across so far! :)

Excited to share my SK post on this platform!

"Rogue Scholar science blog archive improves science blogs in important ways, including full-text search, long-term archiving, DOIs and metadata, and communities" - Well this seems cool! Posting for anyone with a blog to check out: rogue-scholar.org

I use the Unpaywall browser extension. It still requires you having a search tool to find the article of course, but then it will notify you if it has a link to a repository copy somewhere unpaywall.org/products/ext...

@gobiusculus.bsky.social Kan tipse om at @marteode.bsky.social har også en fin starter pack om norsk forskning på profilen sin :)

I love chairing panels at academic conferences and I Have Thoughts about it!

I think it’s a really important service role AND you can create the conditions for everyone in the panel to have a good time AND it can be fun!

Bra jobba av @refz.bsky.social. Men også trist at bibliotekene må bruke ressurser på sånt "politiarbeid."

Today's 5min MUST READ is from @tseenster.bsky.social and @drmeagantyler.bsky.social and looks as memes as a route into the hidden curriculum, and their utility to help unpick pervasive messages that shape our research culture.

Skap et demokratihus på Universitetsbiblioteket ved NTNU Vi ønsker oss et modig og sosialt engasjert bibliotek som tar ansvar for å bygge en sterkere kultur for lesing, for demokratisk ordskifte og for den sakte, nyanserte kritiske tenkningen.

Jeg klikket inn for å svare om vårt arbeid med å drifte baerekraftsforskning.no, men det virker som det er mer rettet mot verksted osv som kan kjøres av andre, så jeg lot det være. Gi beskjed om du vil ha denne typen aktivitet også. Fint initiativ for en ressurssamling :)

Så kult! 🤩

Fascinating post! Interesting to think about the brand of “BMJ” and how it feels like that should be trustworthy. Also the challenge of identifying journals which maybe aren’t technically predatory but are failing to uphold editorial standards.

I'm still vaguely keeping an eye on this and added a few more I've stumbled on @mclokse.bsky.social @henninghansen.bsky.social @ingalangfeldt.bsky.social @edruseru.bsky.social - addition suggestions welcome! :)
