Books & Bytes New Years Double Issue

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!

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

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)

Ooops?

I think this was intended for the edit summary field, and wasn't supposed to be entered in the article -- correct? Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 19:46, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. I have a browser problem, and my cursor frequently returns to the top of any page or form. Usually I manage to catch it. Sorry for any disruption! RolandR (talk) 21:13, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
