A library is not a library is not a library because not all 'libraries' face the same challenges and not all librarians do the same jobs. The narrative we need to see more of is that Library and Information Science skills are today more needed than ever before.
I am excited to announce that this spring I will be leading an extracurricular research seminar for City University London postgraduate students (or alumni) titled 'The Questions Concerning Technology. A Critical Theory Seminar for Beginners.'
I published 'Signal, Not Solution: Notes on Why Sci-Hub Is Not Opening Access' on The Winnower. A conversation followed.
Where I quickly map the data from the "Subject Ranking 2015-2016: Arts and humanities top 100 in partnership with Elsevier" published 21 October 2015.
I had missed this! With thanks to Diane Bell, Research Librarian at City University London Library.
Current research interest: Library & Information Science . Other related research interest include: comics scholarship, digital humanities, open access publishing, research data management, scholarly communications.
