think it's time I made an #Introduction

I'm Orthodox #Jewish tho in my small local community it can be hard to find friends bc I'm also a #Leftist #AntiNationalist. I play #Violin; currently: translations of songs with themes of #Anarchy & #WorkingClass #Solidarity. influenced by #Klezmer, #Celtic & #Folk #Music. I work in a community #Ceramics studio & study #IMLS (Info Management & #LibraryScience) / #GLAM (Galleries Libraries #Archives Museums), & #Yiddish culture/history of #EasternEurope.

So the one section still useful in this book is the discussion of the intersection of ILL and 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦 Copyright law, including explication of the Rule of 5, which I'm happy to note my library hasn't ever come even close to violating. It's more a concern of Academic lenders situated as a nexus of scholarly communication. Book is otherwise of interest only to Library historians, especially the technology section. Published in 2011 one year after I started working at my current library, made me downright nostalgic 😆 Badly needs a 4th edition, even if only published as an ebook. #LibraryScience #interlibraryloan #LISprofessionalliterature
