(she/her) Interested in information. I currently work in research library assessment and UX
More interesting to me is the research found "no significant improvements in self-rated health, depressive symptoms, loneliness, or life satisfaction" after treatment
This junction is the one given as the example of the traffic circle, and its stretched out in a way that makes sense to me (it's almost like the infrastructure for a Michigan left)
the junction I am mad about, is apparently not a fucked up roundabout, it's a (fucked up?) NJ traffic circle and that's why one suddenly encounters a yield sign in the middle of the loop
learning that (in NJ) a roundabout and a traffic circle are NOT the same thing
😬 I cannot think of a use case worth the extra effort needed to manage the flow of the information I'm trying to make in my airtables through this semantic plinko machine
A July 4th on which the weather is so inhospitable that festivities have been canceled... But not delivery of my new dress???
I really wonder what the backend process is here... I wouldn't have put any faith in the accuracy here, but these are just random descriptions From a different article, here's a 2x2 matrix described as a list of idioms...
It doesn't do any better with the tables. This table is not a comparison of data structures and doesn't contain any of the headers in this description.
Here's "The user interface of the Okapi system" which it describes completely inaccurately as an Internet Explorer window on a New User Registration page, with invented details of what might be on such a page, were this one...
Proquest serves this electronic article with the images (including tables) blurred You can click through to see it in a modal, or use that bright blue call to action to have an AI generate a description of the image 😑
I would like to shout out Nike as the only brand I've seen that labels items for kids in the ad
This sounds like the lesson leadership learned was that they need to extract information from the expert workers before firing them, instead of just from the documentation like they tried...??
"Here's the hard truth, Democrats have a voter registration crisis and I need your help to solve it. I'm asking you to become a foundation donor to help the democratic party [register new Democrats" Girl.
This response to my complaint about "the dissatisfied process" doesn't make much sense... I noticed a provider charged them for a service I didn't receive and asked them to challenge the charge, but this sounds like my complaint is with Aetna's service And the last paragraph comes out of nowhere?
Interesting that someone has done underlining here *in red pen* because I can't imagine anyone but a library worker reading this, and you'd think they wouldn't...
I can't tell if the slip shows evidence of an automated process (is that bibdata typed or printed?) But here's how Columbia responded to the survey
This 1986 ARL report on automation in member libraries still has attached the carbon slip from the binding workflow :)
there is something apt about a potato chip that strongly, boldly, and unapologetically artificially flavored as a bite sized representation of American Freedom
"Women in the past having been more bound by convention than men, it is natural that revolution and revolutionaries should interest them." -R.B. Cunningham Graham in the intro to Ida A. Taylor's 1904 Revolutionary Types
The appendices of this 1950 LIS masters thesis includes the physical card they mailed to their study participants :)
It hardly matters, given my 15,000 sheet a year printing budget But why does this one, single-sided page cost 13 sheets to print?
And which has this to say on librarian assistance "The Reference Librarian's chief duty is to try to help the students to use the library intelligently and independently; not to find material for them, but to suggest the *direction* of further search." The service is instruction, not retrieval.
