So back in April, gg at Skulls in the Stars challenged science bloggers across the disciplines to read and research some classic article in their discipline, and then write a blog post about it. The results are in, and they’re awesome. Not just fascinating - this is a potential time suck (with none of the [...]

Last week, Female Science Professor wrote a lovely pair of posts about scholars and scholarship, what it feels like when your work has an impact on someone and what it feels like to meet the people who have influenced you in that particular undefinable way where it’s hard to even express what they’ve meant to [...]

Kate and I are still buzzing from the great conversation we had with the people who came to our session at LOEX of the West. It’s always an amazing and kind of surreal experience when you find out that other people are excited by the same ideas you are.

Lately I’ve noticed a number of different conversations I’ve been having coalescing around the question of evaluation - how can students evaluate the information they find.

Do academic librarians have a love-hate relationship with academic writing?
