I got a copy of Hollywood, Ending by John Green but the top margins are unevenly trimmed. Has anyone else had this issue? Trying to decide if I should try to exchange it.

VIRUS ALERT! Sheeppox virus found in our parchment! Luckily, it is the ancient kind, so no extra precautions needed 😅 What a multidisciplinary effort - congrats to everyone involved! (Incidentally, the culprit MS is currently on display in our exhibition) www.science.org/content/arti...

Question for #histSTM, #histsci & #scicomm friends: Once the Academy of Natural Sciences closes its galleries, what institution will take its place as the oldest natural history museum in the United States? whyy.org/articles/aca... #Museums #MuseumSky #NaturalHistory 🗃️📜

The Academy of Natural Sciences museum in Philly is closing

The Academy will continue scientific research and public education, but its museum will go the way of the dinosaur.

Nothing more frustrating that having the students try to log in to learn a free tool that is now behind a paywall. #ArtSteps It totally derailed my lesson plan. It worked fine for me in all my tests since I was grandfathered in. 😩

Reminding everyone that we are currently open to new submissions by reposting this 2013 classic Killing Sir Walter Scott: A Philosophical Exploration of Weeding by Laura Raphael www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2013/killing...

Weeding a library collection, while an absolutely essential part of collection management, is a much more complex issue than library literature—and library practitioners—would like to admit. It is not just an intellectual and physical process but an emotional one, wedded to deep psychological, cultural, and even metaphysical issues. This article explores some of the reasons why weeding can be so heartbreaking, difficult, and miserable.

Library friends: I'm planning a blog post about negotiating during a job offer. Will you share with me what you negotiated? Or what you wish you would've negotiated? I'd like to give people a sense of the range of things they can ask for. 📚

I'm amazed that we're at 75% of the goal to support my friend, a librarian who moved to a new state to take a job and was laid off after three months. Moving to a more trans-friendly state will take a lot of money, and I'd like to show him we're rooting for him. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...
