I haven't seen it open since before the pandemic, so I'm glad to hear this!
The clerk at DiBruno brothers in the Comcast basement today asked me to spread the word that they are open five days a week again when I bought my lunch there. So I’m spreading the word.

I also want to make it clear, I don’t think Richard knew that she’s not a drag performer. But now that we know, let’s correct it.

2. Libraries rarely know which faculty are using which textbooks, so it's hard for us to inform them we've lost access - esp over the summer! 3. Students often can't afford their textbooks!!! #textbookaffordability #ebooksos

The farmer and the cow man should be friends! So should the publisher and the librarian, but sometimes that’s… difficult, as this quick roundup on the Wiley/ProQuest ebook situation might demonstrate. [1/4] youtu.be/Vg5cwSBnyQU

"Once the books are reinstated to ProQuest Academic Complete, the multidisciplinary subscription collection, they will remain there through June 2023." This is not terribly helpful, though it shows that bad publicity for @WileyGlobal pushed them a little bit.
Breaking news about the Wiley ebook debacle. Thank you Wiley for reversing this action but let's keep giving students access to this content. It's the right thing to do. Publisher reinstates blocked ebooks, but librarians unsatisfied insidehighered.com/news/2022…

The Library Association of Ireland & 3 other Irish library orgs strongly condemn the recent removal of 1,300 titles by @WileyGlobal from ebook collections. The nature & timing of this move is abhorrent & underlines the importance of the #ebookSOS campaign libraryassociation.ie/irish-…

In June my library was told that Wiley would be removing 1,379 ebooks from our subscription packages. Because many of these books were heavily used, we looked into purchasing them with perpetual access but were told they were considered textbooks. #librarians 1/2

So basically, because these books were heavily used, Wiley decided to stop letting libraries buy them as ebooks. To top it off, we lost access the second week of classes. Faculty had planned their courses around students having library access to the texts. 2/2 #TextbookEquity
