My favorite interview question to ask, from the perspective of the hiring manager, is:

"What do you wish I would have asked you about? A technical question, something on your resume, anything. Just talk to me for five minutes about something you wish you could talk about in an interview."

You'll see some people light up, excited, and learn something you'd never find in any defined process. You'll see them dive into the details of their successes, or tell you about a hobby project, or more.

Ein neues #Handbuch für die Bibliotheksbubble ist erschienen. Natürlich im #openaccess
Mit Beiträgen von @acka47 @anjaoberlaender @bflaemig @engelken @v_i_o_l_a @xenzen meiner Wenigkeit und vielen anderen tollen Kolleg*innen: Handbuch Wissenschaftliche Bibliothekar:innen https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110790375
Praxishandbuch Wissenschaftliche Bibliothekar:innen

This practical handbook provides an overview of the professional field of academic library service against the backdrop of emerging fields of action and roles, as well as changes taking place in the way that academic librarians see themselves in the context of digital transformation. It is less about the shifts taking place in forms of service and organization and more about the actors in academic libraries themselves.

"This time it's all of us or none"

With people all around posting "I stand with", I've been conspicuously absent from social media this week, struggling very deeply with how it's possible to stand with anyone or anything on such shaky ground, how it's possible to respond in any way to such atrocities.

At the risk of making something so huge about me (but isn't that how we humans process things?), as a left-wing Jew, I have never in my life felt so alienated from both my identity communities.

People I love and respect calling for or apologising for genocide and war crimes. It doesn't matter who by or who upon. It is horrifying. How have we come to this? How can we get past it?

And I know this trauma is nothing compared to those under the bombs or in front of the guns. But I cannot stop shaking. There's no steady ground. How can you stand? Let alone stand with?

One thing I want to clearly observe is that it feels like the very idea of nonviolence is taking a horrific battering, as people rush to one side or another, concluding that wiping the other off the face of the Earth is the only solution.

🇳🇱 Erfolg im Kampf gegen fossile Subventionen

Heute Morgen leuchtet die A100 auf Höhe des Kurfürstendamms in den Nationalfarben der Niederlande.

Nach 27 Protest-Tagen in Den Haag stimmte das Parlament am Dienstag dafür, die fossilen Subventionen in Höhe von 41 Mrd. zu beenden.

Der niederländische Erfolg macht uns Mut.

Auch in Berlin machen wir weiter:
Am Samstag, 28.10. um 12 Uhr sind wir auf der Straße des 17. Juni und zeigen, dass wir den Bundestagsabgeordneten, die immer noch an fossilen Subventionen festhalten, das nicht länger durchgehen lassen.
