Zotero 7 just dropped. I've been using the beta for several months and it's absolutely fantastic. And it restores an early feature of Zotero that went missing over a decade ago: the ability to annotate snapshots of web pages and add those annotations to your notes. https://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-7/
Zotero Blog » Blog Archive » Zotero 7: Zotero, redesigned

Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share research.

Elsevier, everyone's favorite copyright maximalist closed-access publisher, argues that their high costs are necessary because they're the arbiter of quality.

The arbiter of quality keeps publishing LLM-written papers. Thanks for making my argument for me, Elsevier! They didn't even read it.

Also: would love to hear more about academic library governance and the role of department chair, dean, provost, and any other structural arrangements in US (preferably public) institutions.

Who do you report to? How do you make policy? Who evaluates faculty? Etc.

@raffaele interesting I missed that the Twitter account profile links to https://custodians.online/ubu/ which explains a little bit about the mirrors: US, Mexico, Switzerland and Iceland. I'm going to take a look at that book that @wdenton recommended, maybe it talks about how the mirrors work.

Does the video play back ok in your wget mirror? I was testing a few and noticed that this one doesn't https://web.archive.org/web/20230610193352/https://ubu.com/film/anger_missoni.html

Happy birthday, Ubu.com!

Dear fellow custodian, Find your Ubu. It's time to mirror each other in solidarity.
