  1. My family: he works with computers, in a library, that must be a very challenging job.

    Me: manually adds 25+ "database not available due to maintenance" messages to #LibGuides while listening to multiple renditions of Zombie.

    "Challenging", indeed.

  2. Effectiveness of Academic Library Research Guides for Building College Students’ Information Literacy Skills: A Scoping Review digitalcommons.unl.edu/library

  8. Discovered today that Chrome DevTools has a "Local Overrides" option. It saved my behind. I wish Firefox had an option like this, but I'll use any tool available if need be.

    developer.chrome.com/blog/new-

    (I messed up some custom JS in a LibGuides test page that broke (just) that test page in such a way I could no longer access the Guide Custom JS/CSS menu to undo the change. Using local override I was able to disable the borked JS and access the menu again.)

  9. AI Linkdump distlib.blogs.com/distlib/2023

    I just came out of a webinar that generated a slew of good-looking links, and was off on Friday, so have a handful of newsletters, also with tasty-looking links. The rest of the day is full, and I fear I may not get to these for some time, so here, maybe you have time!

  11. #Library people, please advise?

    Folks who build and use #LibGuides, what are your thoughts on images like related photos or artwork on a LibGuide?

    Some of my colleagues keep asking for images. I find random images distracting and a waste of space, but I worry that's my super-analytical-left-brain-slash-acetic-aesthetic talking.

    What do you say? Yes? No? Neutral? Do they help?

  12. @TradescantiaHub @plants I would contact several #librarians in more than one country. Also, you may already have this, but I love the community search for #libguides, library guides produced on many #research topics: community.libguides.com/
