https://blogs.princeton.edu/librarian/2017/06/professional-contingency-and-the-cosmic-perspective/
Published: June 2, 2017 13:22

https://blogs.princeton.edu/librarian/2016/03/sci-hub-and-information-apartheid/

From what I’ve read, the methods Sci-Hub uses to acquire material range from the dangerous and stupid (e.g., providing strangers access to your network) to the illegal and unethical (e.g. phishing scams). Both of those are bad. However, the ethics ……
Scholarly Conversations, Seed Documents, and the Regressive New WorldCat
Published: January 29, 2016 16:13

Conservative Librarians and Liberal Librarians
https://blogs.princeton.edu/librarian/2015/07/conservative-librarians-and-liberal-librarians/
Published: July 27, 2015 15:34
