Hello new followers! Yes, I really am a professional video game archivist and comics librarian (a job that 10-year-old Dave would be very impressed with!) This is my personal account. I also maintain the account for the U-M Computer and Video Game Archive at @umcvga.bsky.social

My dad was on the engineering team that developed the GMC motorhome. A couple of times he was able to borrow one from work and we would take it on vacation.

Way back in the early days of the Internet Public Library (late 90s) one of our students did something similar: thought they were deleting a link from their directory to the IPL directory, but instead deleted the actual IPL files. Fortunately we did nightly back-ups and were able to restore.
In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand.

Anyone else seeing an issue with @libbyapp.com where for most (though not all) books in your library it shows 0 copies (though actually checking out items works fine; seems to just be a display issue?)
