Yep

I think some faculty view librarians and archivists as gatekeepers. The reality is that when they get into it with us, they are punching down. We are at a hierarchical and social disadvantage (even librarians with faculty status), and all we're trying to do is keep stuff safe. For scholars.

Ana A. Rico's presentation on getting people interested in _______ (anything, but in this case archival collection). Look at these zine-like publications!

There's a SEE Alliance in Sarasota --it's Social Equity and Education lol (see also Scientology SEA Org in Clearwater)

Kelly of the Ringling College of Art and Design says of outreach "always keep your boss in the loop." ALWAYS though?

But first, the drama of asking for a volunteer note-taker and not getting one 😬😬😬

Unrelated, we just cataloged two of your Japanese-language zines. Our cataloger loves working in non-English languages and does it with great care

I love this Excel time zone hack for the schedule

=VLOOKUP($D$13,TimeZone!$H$2:$I$15,2,FALSE) <-- one field from a download of this spreadsheet docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Lol awesome!

Many of us donate labor to our institutions (which don't appreciate it) for zine librarianship. The labor is for our communities, not the institutions. The work is some of our activism for which we don't need to be paid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Folks are facing defunding for their institutions, e.g., the Institute of American Indian Arts Library

Also, the question of does your administration knowing / caring about your zine library invite trouble? Is it better if they dgaf?

"heh heh Florida" in a discussion about how Trump executive orders and vibes have impacted our zine collections
