I'll tend to toot about #repositories, #openscience, structured data, resource discovery, #inforetrieval -- but may occasionally toot #jazz vibes too.

As a deligent Wikipedian, I've created an article about 'Return Visit!' by Tubby Hayes & the All Stars, issued by Fontana. 😀 A #QuincyJones produced session featuring the great Roland T. Kirk & Sam Jones! See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_Visit_(album)
I've also been working this week on the article about the man himself, #TubbyHayes, which, before I got there, was a sad reflection on the 'Little Giant'. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubby_Hayes
Help me make these better, if you can!

Catching up on my edification. That includes this podcast. This recent episode is a terrific exploration of web archiving and digital preservation -- and how many related problems are ultimately people related. Recommended listening, folks!
"This week we have two researchers to talk about web archiving, its politics, its goals, & how web archiving is often mobilized to address problems it really can’t help."

This week we have two researchers to talk about web archiving, its politics, its goals, and how web archiving is often mobilized to address problems it really can’t help. We’re talking Tumblr and GeoCities, Twitter’s feared implosion, Internet Archive, and the space to mourn our platforms and communities.

We have reached a point in discussions with our employers where we have made significant progress across a range of issues. To allow our ongoing negotiations to continue in a constructive environment we have agreed to pause action across both disputes for the next two weeks and create a period of calm.
This means the strikes on 21, 22, 23, 27, 28 February, and 1, 2 March will not go ahead. All the action scheduled after these dates remains in place.
