Confirmed: We don't have Scottish cookbooks...

Not that I recall, but I can check!

I wasn't expecting Scottish docs in the Midwest, out of all places! And we also have some 18th c. Scottish and English scientific/medical books...

Found a Scottish document in our collections! land grant obligation from 1516 between John 2nd Lord Oliphant and David Anderson, previously described as English. With my thanks to @kiritekatawa.bsky.social for providing info on the contents! digital.library.missouri.edu/node/96506 #manuscript

Oooh, thanks for that! I'll have a look for other medieval docs mentioning Kynnesbury

No, I haven't had recent issues but I do recall a time when I did have this issue. I joked to myself that I'd broken the internet

Spent 3 very productive days at Howard University learning Tableau Public. I see some data viz about magazines and medieval collections in my future... #bookhistory

You might've broken the internet here...

The deletion of websites and other government data is a dangerous attack on knowledge, harming democracy. My colleague @nannathylstrup.bsky.social & I contribute a guest essay in @nytimes.com today: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/o...

so many congratulations!!!! You deserve this!

National Endowment for the Humanities staff put on immediate leave A majority of NEH employees received an email placing them on immediate leave. The news comes just days after many humanities councils across the country were told their grants would be terminated.

National Endowment for the #Humanities staff put on immediate leave (via @npr.org) www.npr.org/2025/04/04/n...

I just now found out that we lost NEH funding for the Spanish Homosaurus project: es.homosaurus.org/v4
We plan to continue work on this project, it will just have to proceed in a very different way. Heartbreaking, to me, is we had a professional paid linguist working on this project - not anymore.

A brilliant research article from @libraryleadpipe.bsky.social.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
