    Books & Bytes New Years Double Issue

    Books & Bytes

    Volume 1 Issue 3, December/January 2013

    (Sign up for monthly delivery)

    Happy New Year, and welcome to a special double issue of Books & Bytes. We've included a retrospective on the changes and progress TWL has seen over the last year, the results of the survey TWL participants completed in December, some of our plans for the future, a second interview with a Wiki Love Libraries coordinator, and more. Here's to 2014 being a year of expansion and innovation for TWL!

    The Misplaced Pages Library completed the first 6 months of its Individual Engagement grant last week. Here's where we are and what we've done:

    Increased access to sources: 1500 editors signed up for 3700 free accounts, individually worth over $500,000, with usage increases of 400-600%

    Deep networking: Built relationships with Credo, HighBeam, Questia, JSTOR, Cochrane, LexisNexis, EBSCO, New York Times, and OCLC

    New pilot projects: Started the Misplaced Pages Visiting Scholar project to empower university-affiliated Misplaced Pages researchers

    Developed community: Created portal connecting 250 newsletter recipients, 30 library members, 3 volunteer coordinators, and 2 part-time contractors

    Tech scoped: Spec'd out a reference tool for linking to full-text sources and established a basis for OAuth integration

    Broad outreach: Wrote a feature article for Library Journal's The Digital Shift; presenting at the American Library Association annual meeting

    Hi

    Hi -- I didn't see an edit summary explaining why you were deleting another editor's entry on my page. Perhaps there is an acceptable explanation, but normally that is not allowed (though I'm allowed to delete the entries of others on my page, and in time would have likely deleted that one). Just checking in -- perhaps there is a special circumstance that allows you to delete that text by another editor. (If there is, btw, it would be helpful to mention it in an edit summary the next time). Tx. --Epeefleche (talk) 09:21, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

    Sorry, that was entirely accidental. I had a network failure, and was aware that something had gone wrong when checking another editor's contributions. But I couldn't see what happened. Please accept my apologies; I did not intend to do this. RolandR (talk) 09:24, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
    No worries. Happy editing. Best. --Epeefleche (talk) 09:26, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

    SPI

    Thanks for putting the latest SPI together Roland. It was fairly obvious to a few editors that the new account wasn't that of a new editor. I looked at the edit histories of a few articles on the account's contribution list, but couldn't see any recently blocked editors listed, so, was stumped as to the identity of the socketeer myself.     ←   ZScarpia   23:06, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

    Perhaps paranoia has set in, but there's something about this account which doesn't look quite right to me.     ←   ZScarpia   20:02, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

    Unlike the other accounts, this is certainly not an SPA. The user has been editing since May, and although this may be a POV editor, they do not appear to be edit-warring. I don't think this is another sock. RolandR (talk) 21:58, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
    Thanks. As you say, the account's not an SPA.     ←   ZScarpia   22:11, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
