California community colleges helping to lead the way on OERs.

Vacation is over. Back at work. My annual review is due in two weeks...

Rejecting the requirement to publish dissertations online

Bummed I have to miss #LPForum19 this year. I hope everyone gets a lot out of the forum this year. The line-up looks solid.

Roses are red, violets are blue, we've reached another milestone all thanks to you! Last night we surpassed 1.5M articles--all open and free. This comes 4 years, 1 month and 16 days after reaching 1M, which took more than 23 years to reach. 2M seems just around the corner!

Study documents economic gains from liberal arts education

Network investment is down, layoffs abound, and networks are falling apart. This isn’t the glorious future Ajit Pai promised.

Elsevier journal editors resign, start rival open-access journal...GOOD!!

A beloved Robert Frost poem is among the many creations that are (finally) losing their protections in 2019...this is a good thing.

Feeling envious of all of the "driving for the holidays" updates... I still have four and a half work days.
