Existential Librarian focusing on Copyright & Open Research. Ironically not an Open Book. Winging life but winging eyeliner better. Like wine, whining, naps, sarcasm & staying inside. Described as being a "little bit of whimsy in my goth". 🐈‍⬛️🧙‍♀️🪄🥀🌙 she/her

Not sure which mood is going to take force today.✌️

They normally scrap, or one leaves when the other enters a room and this is just adorable. They did this last year for a few weeks, so I think they are autumnal, happy cats.

They were both originally curled up on the blanket, I disturbed Little Cat by turning the light on to take a photo.

I'm shook. They are both hanging out and sharing MY blanket nicely (a blanket they both claimed, and I am not allowed to use because creatures with tails kick off)

God, my hairdresser is a miracle worker. If I had to choose one person, it would be her.

From murderous scarecrow to solo weird sister.

My hair is big, not because it's full of secrets, it's because it's full of rage.

I look like a murderous scarecrow today and yet people are still trying to talk to me.

The latest Opinion from #UKSGInsights journal: Andrew Johnson from the University of Sheffield Library - "Interlibrary loans, subscriptions and copyright in the UK academic library sector" dub.sh/55gEiGy
Higher education institution (HEI) libraries in the UK undertake a variety of interlibrary loan (ILL) and document supply operations, against a current background of increasing budgetary pressures. This article considers the foundations in so‑called library privilege exceptions in copyright law that underpin the long‑standing practice of ILL, aiming to address recurring issues and questions around what is permitted within the legislation, and which limitations apply. The focus is on addressing the ILL situation as it exists for non‑profit UK HEI academic libraries, including looking at some perceived ‘grey areas’.

I have my giant scarf across my knees, and I have started rocking back and forth in my chair, cackling.

This looks absolutely wonderful. I might copy you and make this for tea.

My witchy intuition is telling me that an absolute trainwreck query is on the horizon. Bring it on!
