So lately the official signage is being put up. But some don't think that is enough...
Glass door with grey lettering saying staff only and a border of logos underneath in the same grey tint. In-between the text and border there is a pink postit with a stop sign drawn onto it with the letters no entry.

It has gotten out of hand....
Three identical looking a4 printed signs saying Staff Offices No Access. The three signs are stuck to a glass door in seemingly random order.

So our new library opened this week, it is attracting many people en students but not everything is working correctly yet. Some places provide more access than planned causing staff offices frequently being visited by curious patrons. I guess the library ghosts put up sign which made me laugh.
An A4 printed library sign with large red letters stating: Staff Offices No Access Underneath in smaller black lettering: project rooms and study rooms are on the second floor. All the way on the bottom of the sign in small lettering: very boring area, librarians are easily startled

Late night editing my slides for #uxlibs next week.
Picture of a tablet showing a PowerPoint presentation named who needs help with the self-checkout? Everybody needs help with the self-checkout!

I had such fun at #LibPMC2025 conference. My eyes were opened with new ways of assessments and I'm full of inspiration for new powerBI dashboards. I wish I could keep chatting with the attendees but time flew by. If you want to keep in touch leave a message!

Caught this meme out in the open on my way to work this morning. Definitely made my day 🤣
A public street in Amsterdam features a striking and humorous banner prominently displayed on a building under renovation, covered partially by blue construction netting. The banner is a meme featuring a distorted image of JD Vance, altered to resemble a chubby young boy with an exaggerated under-chin beard. The text on the banner humorously reads: "It's disrespectful if you don't say thank you." The surreal and comedic nature of the banner's placement in a public space adds an unusual and unexpected element to the otherwise typical urban scene, drawing attention and amusement from passersby.

Spend most of the day erasing pencil lines from library books. Did you know that eventhough OCR techniques are really good, a simple pencil line makes accesible scans really hard?
The image shows a page from a book titled "Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy." The text on the page discusses the English crown's inability to enforce policies effectively in the countryside compared to the French monarchy. The page is marked with underlined sections and handwritten notes in the margins. There is a small stain near the bottom left corner.
