  1. Adding structure and building links between scientific databases and journals is blurring the boundaries between them @timohannay #ukolnsem
  2. @kevingashley It works (for now), but am not sure if it was cost-effective; the parts cost around GBP63, compared with min GBP115 for repair
  3. I finally had all the tools in the right place to replace the broken screen on my Asus Eee PC; a far more tricky job than I expected ...
  4. @briankelly The language is Hebrew; the blog title means something like: "Learning, Internet ... And in-between"
  5. RT @guardianscience Science in shackles | John Sulston http://bit.ly/7nAQ6s [on IP rights in science]
  6. @paulwalk If it's Westbury, your train will most likely be cancelled! I used to experience this quite frequently when commuting from Dorset
  7. Contrasting books on the benefits of recording everything we do: http://bit.ly/6VedN6 and the 'virtue of forgetting': http://bit.ly/roHOf
  8. Review by Paul Duguid of V Mayer-Schönberger's 'Delete' (Princeton UP, 2009) in TLS, 20 Nov (p. 22); "writing usefuly enables us to forget"
  9. Interestring article on the role of textual scholarship in the digital age by Jerome McGann in TLS, Nov 20 (pp. 13-15)
  10. Reading Seamus Perry's review of Dalziel & Millgate's 'Thomas Hardy's "poetical matter" notebook' (OUP, 2009) in TLS, Nov 20 (pp. 7-8)
  11. The HE sector in Britain "is now too large and too diverse ... to be sensibly subject to a single uniform mode of assessment" (TLS, Nov 13)
  12. Re: Impact: "the humanities are, I suspect, simply being flattened by a runaway tank designed for other purposes" (S Collini, TLS, Nov 13)
  13. Timely musings on the potential unintended consequences of measuring "impact" in the humanities by S Collini in TLS, 13 Nov (pp.18-19)
  14. From @timeshighered - ALPSP claim IRs are "parasitic on the existing journal structure for their peer-review process" ! http://bit.ly/1mDrjr
  15. @briankelly I was going to suggest the same as @daveyp Remember that you have to wear something else with the tie (or kilt) ...
  16. @adrianstevenson That said, newspaper sales/bulks start from a fairly high base; interesting trends also on Web usage: http://bit.ly/4kR659
  17. @adrianstevenson Presumably this is why UK newspaper prices are rising and sales are in decline (except for The Star): http://bit.ly/4eOHNH
  18. @briankelly On the same route last week: information that a train had been cancelled, then "this train will be formed of three coaches"
  19. @talat The approach claimed to be "author-centric" using IRs to generate personal CVs with h-index + links with CRIS + preservation services
  20. @briankelly Not that I'm equating "uncitedness" with lack of use, e.g. doi:10.1126/science.289.5478.355c
