@textfiles One of my favorite features of HathiTrust is the ability to create a personal collection (in my case, typographic periodicals https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/mb?a=listis;c=1886355370) and search within it. It’s so useful for narrowing searches of common words.Is there a way to do this on @internetarchive? I dig that you can search within your favorites, but that doesn’t work on collections in your faves, and I don’t know how to add all the issues from a periodical collection to my favorites unless I do it manually.

A story on the tragic results of the ill-advised lawsuit that publishers (including my own) won against @internetarchive. I’m among the 1,000 authors who signed a petition demanding that our books be available to libraries for lending.🎁 link: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/13/business/media/internet-archive-emergency-lending-library.html?unlocked_article_code=Th6Alz18iAbzYmP2WzRs2TBPptr6878WYSwvlAwe-8Cm_AkSt70KEU7zuabWZCXCiyavLy_cEjND8xXan_8mPN-aEjO1XMJUeuLLkvb-3LYilBQBXSHsFGQOGn24voUF5iXUecXolHHuuJPUbNiwKqaQfOhpLIN1wZ2xW9BdBsoz9Z6msSl3ot8KuJ8pf1AnvUiQEbhNmXWvII7Cxyc9-2fH4vSDGX-hz0Cv8OnzKdpWD4P7DxlhCa9tsEuXfhP30CoCDjRNAPaZCGn5rIQpx264lZcaxY2_-3lFo85gfhRIQU0c4AlziazU4Tc9o8D53wukiEz0J9ZGp_Wlmlt7MuMV1VCcojQp0DurYrxnu4IBf1G7Ky8H1Euiag&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare Losing access to out-of-print books is the researchers’ and librarians’ nightmare. We often don’t even have the option to buy them…

“In the past, the library would have cited fair use and provided scans to the students via secure software, but after the March court ruling, Mr. Stutzman said, it’s unclear what is allowed. One chapter? Two? How many students can see a scan? Fifty? Five?”

“’I’m caught between enforcing the current legal paradigms around copyright and allowing my colleagues to have academic freedom in what they assign students to read’ Mr. Stutzman said. He plans to tell teachers that they need to choose material that is easy to license, even if it is not necessarily the best, until there is more legal clarity.”😢😠😡#Libraries #InternetArchive #Research

@textfiles Speaking of Flash and WM: I have been getting these errors when viewing sites with .SWF. Should I be using another version of Ruffle, or something else?

Returning to an old birdsite tradition: the latest visitors to our bird bath. Here’s this morning’s Steller’s Jay. (These crested beauties are sometimes misidentified by nonbirdnerds as Blue Jays, but those have white stripes in their head and they don’t usually appear west of the Rockies.)#BirdBathCam #Birds #Birding #EastBayBirds #SFBABirds

It’s always a nice surprise to see the golden streaks of a Townsend’s Warbler. They visit about once a month. A bath is a great way to attract birds like this who primarily eat insects and don’t go for suet.

He’s back several times a week now! This time it’s feeding time. (I assumed he was picking bugs out of the jade flowers, but apparently they drink nectar too.)#BirdBath #TownsendsWarbler #BackyardBirds #Oakland #EastBayBirds #SFBABirds

Chickadee takes a dip. His buddy arrives, in comedic fashion (wait for it). #Chickadee #ChestnutBackedChickadee #Titmouse #OakTitmouse #EastBayBirds #BirdCam #Birds #SFBABirds #BirdBath #BackyardBirds

Another Chickadee buddy. Hummers are usually too small to trigger the camera, so the Chicka came in handy here. #Hummingbird #Chickadee #EastBayBirds #BirdBath #BirdCam #Birds #BackyardBirds

The Townsend’s Warbler stops by nearly every day now. And occasionally we see Yellow-rumped Warblers. But never both at the same time, until this capture. Towny didn’t stick around long, tho – Rumpy was getting too aggressive with the splashing.#TownsendsWarbler #YellowrumpedWarbler #Birds #BackyardBirds #BirdBath #BirdCam #EastBayBirds

The warblers keep coming! Visitors today are a Chickadee, Townsend’s Warbler, and then something entirely new. It took me a while to ID because there are so many drab olive birds with a white eyering, but then it revealed itself while bathing: an Orange-crowned Warbler! Our first at the bath, and a lifelister for me. (I guess it doesn’t count as a lifelister, though, if on cam, not in real time.)#EastBayBirds #BackyardBirds #BirdBath #BirdCam #SFBABirds #Warblers #OrangeCrownedWarbler

I’ve often seen hummingbirds get their bath as they hover in the spray of a lawn sprinkler. Today at the tub, a hummer benefitted from a towhee’s splashes.#Hummingbird #Towhee #BirdBath #BirdCam

What happened to Occupy Wall Street?Amid the hopelessness I am still hoping for a revival of this movement. Trumpism (and Dems too!) somehow usurped its momentum, but with his administration likely to accelerate income inequality and corporate welfare, while cutting worker/consumer rights and protections, why not an Occupy comeback?(Image from “Money Talks”, @letterformarchive’s Strikethrough exhibition: https://exhibitions.letterformarchive.org/strikethrough/walkthroughs/money-talks.)#Occupy #OccupyWallStreet #IncomeInequality #EconomicJustice

Another Occupy George bill from Ivan Cash and Andy Dao. This was 2011. Even worse today.

Friends, please stop linking to Spotify like it’s ok. The company steadily siphoned money from independent artists, then spent millions to host Joe Rogan, then littered their library with AI music, and now the CEO is investing in AI weapons.There are plenty of less damaging ways to listen to music and podcasts.
