This bunker blog is morphing into an intermediary between my main blog and the ephemera that I write on Twitter. Among other things, I'll be putting posts here that I'd like to put on Twitter but there's no way they could work under the 140 character limit.
I find that reading and researching are totally different things for me. Of course, research involves reading - but for me, that's usually skimming. I need to be in a particular mood to do the reading which involves thinking lofty thoughts. When I'm in that mood, I'm not interested in researching - I just want the thing in front of me so I can read it. That's why it really pisses me off when people think that librarians and such spend their whole day reading. I wish it were like that - but generally we're too busy finding things for the people who are fortunate enough to be spending their days reading.
Just I found some articles from Library Hi Tech journal which I'd like to read when I next have the chance / inclination. I've decided to link them here - so I don't have to bother finding them again. Hopefully I'll get a chance to read them at home or on the train.
Unless you're accessing these links from the UNSW campus or somehow can authenticate through the AGSM proxy server, these links won't work for you. I'm providing them for two reasons. 1. It makes my life easier. 2. Those in the know who subscribe to the same product can find a way of making them work.
I plan to do this from time to time with other LIS journals too.
