* Virtual hosts for hybrid sessions did an excellent job of including virtual and in-person attendees. It felt balanced. Job well done.

My colleagues and I presented preliminary results from developing a validated survey examining academic librarians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices on OER. Watch our lightning talk at the link below!

* "Open" and accessible information is highly valuable to all attendees and presenters. While I am focusing more on #openresearch more wholistically as opposed to #OER , it is nice to be among like-minded colleagues. I don't need to worry about missing quality content, even with many amazing concurrent sessions.

Last week I attended #OpenEd24 as a virtual attendee (and presenter! Link in the last post) at a hybrid conference. A few thoughts: 🧵

Happy Public Domain Day! Disney's Steamboat Willie, the first appearance of Mickey Mouse, is now officially in the public domain - a day many thought might never come. Because I can, I've shared the entirety of the short film on YouTube, with a voiceover of me explaining public domain in the context of our favorite corporate Mouse. :) #publicdomain #publicdomainday #steamboatwillie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGL55VOj_4

Please tell me this review is not the standard that is being accepted in scientific journals. The methods were poorly conducted, poorly reported, and not following best practice. Ironically, their search *was* copy/paste-able into the database mentioned which is good, however it was FAR from comprehensive.

This journal has an open peer review policy, so perhaps I'll come back and link to my review if it posts.

Hi, hello, it's me. I'm #Reviewer2 for this #ScopingReview.
#LibraryInstruction folks: I'm going to teach #LateralReading explicitly for the first time in a #library session for first-years/freshman. Anyone have any suggestions for exercises that have worked well for you? The course itself is propaganda themed, but this session won't have a specific assignment or topic.
