Is it the norm these days for a small college #library not to allow unaffiliated visitors? Maybe I’m old, but I remember when anyone could enter a college library and read, but you had to be a student or faculty member to check out books. Is this policy a consequence of COVID? Or a security concern? I’ve encountered it twice now, and I find it strange and unfriendly. #AcademicLibraries

I worked as staff in an academic library and year by year since 2000 I saw firsthand general critical thinking skills decreasing. More and more book smarts, rote smarts, but less and less on-the-fly smarts is the best way I can explain it. They weren't dumber, even smarter in specialized areas, and that seemed to be the problem. Not enough general humanities education to develop empathy or understanding when things didn't go their way.

Two days ago, a public patron came into the college library, highly agitated, shouting, uncooperative, refusing to show our library assistants her photo ID, then refusing to hand it to them so that they can read it clearly. This is required for temporary AD computer access for non-students. The staff come and get me. She starts claiming they violated her by requiring proof of identity... #Libraries #AcademicLibraries #CloutChasers #HostilePatrons

Hi all, I'm still kicking the tires around here but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a #computational scientist and geographer by training but I'm in #AcademicLibraries now doing #ResearchDataManagement and #DataRepository stuff.
Other stuff that interests me: #science #devops #selfhosted #opensource #hpc #tabletennis #cartoons
I’m looking for an instructional/reference #librarian position in a college or university in NYC or its non-NJ suburbs. I have graduate degrees in education and literature in addition to my MLIS. If you know of any openings, please send them my way! #academiclibraries #LibraryLife #Librarians
Academic librarians, do any of y'all know if there are any recommended pay rates for librarians who teach their own courses (i.e. are instructors of record)? Or is it typically tied to an institution's lecturer/per class rate? I can't seem to find any decent documentation on this and am curious whether the profession has established a minimum threshold that librarians can use to negotiate a better pay rate.
Hi ausglam & fediverse! By way of #introduction, I'm a nerdy librarian in Naarm/Melbourne, living on stolen Wurundjeri land.
I mostly work in #academiclibraries, but I've also held teaching and research roles in literary and cultural studies (science fiction, utopian studies, and book history are my jam). My current work focuses on #openaccess and scholarly comms.
I'm an avid #knitter, and I enjoy audiobooks, podcasts, a good TV series, boardgames, and videogames. Expect photos of my cats

Howdy y'all. I've migrated to a new server, so re-posting my #introduction:
I'm the #DigitalHumanities librarian at San Diego State. Originally a U.S. historian (working on gender in musical films) my current interests focus on ethical tech, digital pedagogy, digital storytelling & DH/digital scholarship spaces. Still trying to get the hang of this whole distributed network thing. Expect to see a lot of pics of my #DogsOfMastodon
#Introduction Time to say hello to the fediverse. I am librarian at University of Copenhagen where I am also doing a PhD in church history focusing on the relation between theology and piety in #EarlyModern Denmark, specifically the Danish theologian Jesper Rasmussen Brochmand (1582-1652).
Looking forward to seeing how this develops and meeting new people.
#Introduction post! I’m a #librarian at Ohio State, interested in #academiclibraries, #medialiteracy, #informationliteracy, #openpedagogy, #qualitative methods, and #criticaldatastudies. Also: #politics, #yoga, #running, movies & tv, #vegan cooking, reading, travel. Expect posts about #LIS and #academia but also #realhousewives.
