While not 1 to 1, I feel like this is @themerl.bsky.social-adjacent

Anyway, "Generative AI" remains full of nonsense and should not be used trusted information source.

(But really, with all the data they've collected on me, how could Google ever know I would be searching for Suzanne Briet, noted information professional, and not a hunter of antelopes.)

I found the reference to it! web.archive.org/web/20120829...

It looks like the article itself wasn't captured, but you can see the title in the list of Features, it was published on July 13, 2012, written by Bob Gordon.

Do you remember when that story was? i.e. year and, if possible, month?

That's a difficult one to track down! It looks like you might need to do an ILL from U of T librarysearch.library.utoronto.ca/permalink/01...

Unless Western gives you access to the document through Hathi Trust: catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/00067...

I'm the bassoonist and librarian with the Cape Breton Orchestra now, if that counts 😁 Though not earning a living from music

It won't work until you've been playing for 30 years, then it's "I know this reed looks terrible but it's my concert reed because it has the best sound..."

I had to correct an official program submission document recently that said "and also librarians are available for a chat". This was after I pointed out they had nothing about the library in the first place.

And if you run into any issues, or want to chat more, I'm happy to do so! Send me a direct message :)

ArcGIS Story Maps are great for user experience, less great for long-term preservation; StoryMapJS is better for preserving but takes more work to learn how to use! But definitely go talk to your GIS librarian, they can help out with lots of ideas and help with the tools, in-class instruction, etc

Definitely go and speak with your Map & GIS library folks (if you're at Carleton, talk to Rebecca Bartlett and Sherri Sunstrum; I don't know the people at NYU, if that's where you are now, but reach out to them: guides.nyu.edu/gis

OAIster is another, from OCLC: oaister.on.worldcat.org/discovery

Each of the above have different results, and don't have every single thing (I've used one of my articles as a bit of a tester, sometimes it works and sometimes doesn't, but each database has its strengths and weaknesses)

There's a few ways to do so! DOAJ is a good one: doaj.org, it lets you search both article and journal titles/descriptions. There are particular requirements to get listed there, and the search is fairly stringent. CORE is another, that collects OA from journals and repositories core.ac.uk

Ooh, bring this one to the library
