Thanks. I think the fact that I know that if the medication works, I'll probably never stop taking it (unless they find cures for rare autoimmune diseases) was making the need for the cheese even more urgent. I don't think I've ever eaten so much cheese in 2 days!

Yes, but Tech Services labor matters (and I'm not trying to be snarky -- I think it does matter, but ours should too). Reference and instruction librarian labor is inexhaustible apparently. I'm trying to remember when our Dean was ever worried about our workload and... coming up empty.

They said no, because it would take more staff time and the whole goal is to decrease staff labor.

Oh wow! I wasn't jealous of my colleague who got to go to the conference, but I hadn't heard who the keynote speaker was. Now I'm super-jealous!!! I've never seen her speak in person, but I can imagine it's super inspiring.

As an advocate for my faculty, you can be sure that I'm going to tell the folks in my liaison areas who I know use Kanopy videos to click on them four times and watch at least 30 seconds of it each time to trigger a purchase so they know it's licensed for the year. Ridiculous.

frustrated that we were simply told that this is what is happening (rather than even being asked for feedback), when the decision was made back in 2017 to prioritize required use in courses. It feels like such a violation of any spirit of shared governance. What is the point of our committee then?
