Academic journals should make their PDF articles available in larger print so that we can read them comfortably on our phones. At the moment, I have to tilt to landscape mode and then zoom in. The format is suitable for computer screens and A4 paper, but not phones. Am I missing something? #openaccess #journals #academicjournals #cambridgelawjournal #accessibility

Is print dead? No. And nor should it be... The benefits of print reading cannot be overstated. A recent study by the University of Valencia reveals that reading print texts can boost comprehension skills 6-8 times more than digital reading. This holds true regardless of the type of digital reading, whether it be social media or educational websites. #Print #DigitalText https://1l.ink/KW5PZ8T

There comes a time in every library's life when they must deselect (weed) materials. Archives store materials, but most public libraries were built to maintain collections for their community, and to keep their materials up-to-date and relevant for the needs of the people using the library. What criteria do libraries use to weed collections? Let's take a look! Reasons Items May Be Weeded from Libraries 1. Condition -The item is well-worn, damaged, or has become unusable. 2. Age - the older an item is, the less relevant or useful it is to users of the library, especially in regard to rapidly changing disciplines like law, science, health & medicine or computer science. 3. Usage - The item has not been checked out by library patrons recently, or it has remained unchecked out for an extended period. 4. Newer Editions - New editions on a topic may be released that are more suitable for the contemporary world. 5. Space Considerations - library shelves have limited space. It is necessary to make choices about which materials deserve a place on the shelves. 6. Electronic access - materials that were once exclusively available in print format are now accessible online, making the aging print versions candidates for weeding.

Dr. Nick Kawa also presented at the AAA meetings in Toronto! He participated in a roundtable focused on print politics, presenting the paper Welcome to the AnthropoZine! DIY Scholarship as an Alternative to the Peer-Reviewed Publication. Here is his abstract: Peer-reviewed publications remain the most accepted form of knowledge production and dissemination in academia today. But such formal publications are also deeply exclusionary, especially for undergraduate and early graduate students as well as scholars tackling highly stigmatized subjects. This presentation highlights the value of zines—do-it-yourself booklets that mix art and text in an eclectic assemblage—as a meaningful alternative. Drawing from my own DIY experiments with students and research collaborators, I make the case that zines offer several advantages compared to peer-reviewed publications. First, they are useful pedagogical tools that familiarize young scholars with the publication process, including guidance in composition, constructive feedback, and public dissemination. Second, they can serve to diversify anthropological scholarship by encouraging experimentation with text and image, as well as experiments in subject matter, voice, and literary form. Finally, because zines are self-published, creators exert considerable control over the production and distribution of the work that is shared—offering specific advantages from the standpoint of the political economy of knowledge production. You can view the zine produced by Dr. Kawa and the entire panel below! https://lnkd.in/geiEsmPB
