This is probably futile but... If any of you owns a canvas bag given to the attendants in the 2nd altmetrics conference in Amsterdam in 2015, I'd be happy to talk to you. It was a pale bag with a text and colors like here (copied from a web site mentioning the conf, the site proper is no longer there)

The National Library of Finland was kind enough when in October 2023 it accepted my purchase request of the much awaited Shift Happens by @mwichary Then, early March 2024, the books arrived. Now, after reading all the three volumes I feel stupendous. The book is pure delight from cover to cover! Packed with interesting, odd, touching and fun stories. Beautifully typeset, fantastic photos. Best footnotes ever! Easter eggs!

To celebrate the ongoing annual #Elk Migration (Den stora älgvandringen) over the Angerman river in Sweden, here is a map showing the population density along the river within a 25 km buffer. The migration – and its 24/7 filming – takes place upstream.

My #rstats #rayshader code https://github.com/tts/angermanalven is adapted from the River Seine example by Spencer Schien.

Population data by Kontur in 400m H3 hexagons. River centerline by Natural Earth.

The nr of pages of a few new fiction titles in Finnish (original & translated) is >800! That made me curious. Is the book size increasing in fiction?

Based on the data returned by the Finna API on library titles published between 2000 and 2022, the answer is no, not really. Caveat: children's fiction is included, which probably affects the mean.

Why the dropdown after 2015? A wild guess: changes in library acquisitions policies, emphasizing children's books.
