Tomorrow I have an interview for an internal post I’m 98% sure I’m the only applicant for, so because of that and because it’s so near the end of term my brain is NOT letting me do any preparation for it, which is super irritating.
My lap is full of paperwork but I cannot read it.
Remember that meeting with the Head I had a couple of weeks ago that made me feel furious, unvalued, and sent me into a panic attack when I got home?
I’ve got another one today.
Hoping for a positive change in this one, but if you could all keep everything crossed for me and send some good vibes my way it would be appreciated. ❤
oh man I’d forgotten how much fun* filling out job applications was
*unnatural combination of unimaginable stress and boredom
After a terrible meeting with the Head on Thursday which left me feeling severely undervalued, in tears (thankfully not in the meeting), and having a panic attack as soon as I was safe back home, my manager has just sent me this completely out of the blue, cementing the fact that she is The Best™. So lucky to have her at my back.
At work at the moment I’m reclassifying a whole bunch of unwieldy sections of stock. Despite the fact that I’m currently working through subdividing the economics section, this is one of my very favourite things to do.
I am honestly SO TIRED but i have bought a massive pizza and a 750ml bottle of Leffe to celebrate and the thought of that is pretty much all that’s keeping me awake right now
Pairing these with Fury Road was an excellent choice
We can address this! First, friendly reminder – JSTOR is not a publisher and is a non-profit organization. We work with publishers to digitize and make searchable their copyrighted work, so we do not own any of the content that is on JSTOR. But! did you know that JSTOR has worked with our publishing partners to make that content available in a variety of ways for those not at higher ed institutions?
1. Graduated? Graduating? Check to see if your uni offers alumni access here.
2. We offer free online reading programs. Sign up for a MyJSTOR account and you can read up to three articles online every two weeks. More info on how to register here.
3. Open Access content – everything published prior to 1925 in the U.S. and 1870 abroad is free to read and download. Additionally, there are more than 500 open access ebooks and a number of open access journal articles that publishers have made available. You can find these by performing a search and then, on the results page, in the left-hand side bar, scroll down and click “Read and Download” while you are not logged in.
4. Many public libraries offer access to JSTOR – check with yours. NYPL and BPL are two that do off the top of my head.
5. JSTOR Daily is our online magazine – outside authors write articles on a number of topics but must cite their sources from articles on JSTOR! And we link to and open the articled that are cited in each story. So, you can read the short version and explore the research that supports it.
I hope this is helpful!
Heads up, kids
This is excellent information but I’m dying to know….
Why is @jstor better about responding to complaints than @staff?
OH HEY, THIS AGAIN.
Update! Tech recently made a change where ALL OF THE OPEN ACCESS CONTENT ON JSTOR IS SEARCHABLE WITHOUT A LOGIN.
This now includes 2,700 ebooks (up from 500 when we originally reblogged this) and something like 500,000 open articles (keep in mind though, most of these are published pre-1925). There are 19 open access journals that are still posting their work on JSTOR too.
at my job we have to go through a training program that teaches us the library of congress classification system, and when i was first being trained my boss started to boot it up and she gave me a really anxious and guilty look and said “listen, i’m really sorry in advance, there’s nothing i can do about this, just…. just try to get through it” and i was like lol what’s she talking about and then the program loaded and i was greeted with a deliriously funny-looking photoshopped wizard with glowing eyes pointing at some intro message like “AH YES, JUST AS THE PROPHECY FORETOLD… APPRENTICE, YOU COME AT A TIME OF MOST DIRE NEED… YOU MUST LEARN OUR WAYS” and my boss just looked at me helplessly and was like “i’m so sorry. it’s like two hours long.”
thankfully it wasn’t an elaborate fever dream and i have found screenshots
if it happened at all, it happened like that
