Nature Publishing Group and the University of California – Some pointers and thoughts

Besides watching this like the finals of Olympic hockey, I've been seriously impressed with the thoughtful and insightful commentary from a huge bunch of my libr* online contacts. Interesting stuff, too, from scientists and other folks interested in scholarly communication. About the…

And Dorothea Salo makes four...

That's four librar* blogs here at ScienceBlogs, of course, with hopefully more to come. We're taking over! I'll let Dorothea introduce herself: I'm very pleased to welcome you all to The Book of Trogool, a brand-new blog about e-research. My name is Dorothea Salo, I'm an academic librarian, and I…

Scientists: What do librarians need to know about how you communicate?

Dorothea Salo asks the question over on The Book of Trogool. What do you, scientists, want librarians to know about how you communicate with other scientists? Where do you feel uncertain about the process? Where do you think it's coming up short? Do you think the process should change, and if so…

I'm also leaving ScienceBlogs, but it's not for the reasons some others have given. I don't think Pepsi's blog will hurt my real life reputation and besides, it's been pulled, there have been apologies - it's time to forgive. July was the first month I've gotten enough hits to get a paycheck - and…

Michael Pater, Connecticut artist, died today

He was also my husband's uncle. I only found two of his images online, the remainder are photographs of prints we have on our walls - intentionally poor quality for those. He was a member of the Lyme Art Association, so there may be more information on their site. The Courant (Hartford, CT) had…

Hey maybe scientists should do more than just wait for their journal to issue a press release on their new fabu article

So there I was, try all kinds of librarian ninja tricks on the fanciest, most expensive research databases money can buy (SciFinder, Reaxys, Inspec...) and no joy. Couldn't find what I needed. I'm perfectly willing to admit that I don't know all that much chemistry, but usually I do ok since I work…
