Books & Bytes New Years Double Issue

Books & Bytes

Volume 1 Issue 3, December/January 2013

(Sign up for monthly delivery)

Happy New Year, and welcome to a special double issue of Books & Bytes. We've included a retrospective on the changes and progress TWL has seen over the last year, the results of the survey TWL participants completed in December, some of our plans for the future, a second interview with a Wiki Love Libraries coordinator, and more. Here's to 2014 being a year of expansion and innovation for TWL!

The Misplaced Pages Library completed the first 6 months of its Individual Engagement grant last week. Here's where we are and what we've done:

Increased access to sources: 1500 editors signed up for 3700 free accounts, individually worth over $500,000, with usage increases of 400-600%

Deep networking: Built relationships with Credo, HighBeam, Questia, JSTOR, Cochrane, LexisNexis, EBSCO, New York Times, and OCLC

New pilot projects: Started the Misplaced Pages Visiting Scholar project to empower university-affiliated Misplaced Pages researchers

Developed community: Created portal connecting 250 newsletter recipients, 30 library members, 3 volunteer coordinators, and 2 part-time contractors

Tech scoped: Spec'd out a reference tool for linking to full-text sources and established a basis for OAuth integration

Broad outreach: Wrote a feature article for Library Journal's The Digital Shift; presenting at the American Library Association annual meeting
...Read Books & Bytes!

I'll be back to Brazil next week. There I'll have access to a few books that we can use to add a little bit more to Pedro Afonso's article. But the first thing I'll do is finish Rosas' article. --Lecen (talk) 21:07, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

It is great to see you back despite all the frustration. • Astynax 07:47, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

You do need to re-read the original case and apologize

Marshal was never sanctioned for POV - please re-read the case, retract your statements, and I recommend an apology ASAP - your wrong accusations are contrary to WP:NPA (see WP:WIAPA). ES&L 19:55, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
