I'm doing an MA thesis project on spreadsheets! It'll be a website with essays, a bibliography, and examples. Enter you! Do you have a favorite spreadsheet? One that is the bane of your existence? Maybe a spreadsheet meme you like? Please send it to me! forms.gle/zadyBzEJoZRVmTa9A

If you tried to fill out the form and it required signing into Google, I've since fixed that!
🤩 Now I’m dreaming of @lizzo playing all the flutes, and videos of her playing being added to the object records in addition to the photos @librarycongress @LibnOfCongress #LizzoAtLOC loc.gov/item/musdcmflute.037…

You didn't think @lizzo played that antique flute on stage without practicing first, did you? She visited the Library Monday & played several of the flutes in our collection, which is the largest in the world. #LizzoAtLOC See & hear more from her visit: blogs.loc.gov/loc/2022/09/it…

I'm so excited! I modified the built-in OCLC macro that generates an e-record to include an 856 41 and change the second indicator to 0. I'm a total macro newbie; Joel Hahn's OML for the Complete Beginner gave me just enough to be able to mess around 🙌hahnlibrary.net/libraries/om…

Anyone working on proposed changes to LCSH associated w/ “Prisoners” to “Incarcerated people” & “Prostitutes/Prostitution” to “Sex workers/Sex work”? ARLIS/NA Cataloging Advisory Committee is starting work on proposals & we want to make sure we're not duplicating efforts #critcat

I ❤️ @OpenRefine ! Just learned to use regex capture groups in GREL: value.replace(/(\d+):(\d+):(\d+)/,"$1 hr., $2 min., $3 sec.").replace(/00 \w+., /,"").replace(/^(0)(\d)(.*)/,"$2$3") I'm sure there is a better way, but believe it or not this is simpler than my last solution 😂
