A library is not a library is not a library because not all ‘libraries’ face the same challenges and not all librarians do the same jobs. The narrative we need to see more of is that Library and Information Science skills are today more needed than ever before.
I am excited to announce that this spring I will be leading an extracurricular research seminar for City University London postgraduate students (or alumni) titled ‘The Questions Concerning Technology.

Yesterday Graphixia published its post number 202. It’s a post by me, where I briefly discuss the graphic novella 1874, by Mexican authors Bernardo Fernández “Bef” and Jorge F. Muñoz “Yorko”.
Nothing like the hottest day of the year so far in London town to start a new site. Today I set up the #citylis blog. The address is https://blogs.city.ac.uk/citylis/ Hopefully having this resource will allow us to have somewhere we can personally announce in a timely manner what we are currently doing at the Library and Information Science scheme at City University London. It will be nice to have a chronological archive of updates as well.
A quick note on the (lack of open) licensing in two of the REF2014 reports announced today.
