"The established supply chain for scholarly books presents a major challenge for small or new #OA publishers to thrive. Specialised title management systems, for instance, are difficult to access and many systems are not oriented to #openaccess books." #ScalingSmall #OABooks

With the #ControlledDigitalLending #CDL case coming on Monday (3/20) @jziskina and I are excited to announce the release of “The Publisher Playbook: A Brief History of the Publishing Industry’s Obstruction of the #Library Mission.” [link at end of thread] /1
The purpose of this paper is to outline the legal & other obstructions that #libraries have encountered from the publishing industry. Libraries have continued to perform their routine activities or made advancements to increase #access to the public in innovative ways... /2
...yet, #libraries and their readers have routinely engaged in lengthy battles to defend the ability for libraries to fulfill their mission and serve the #publicgood.

We’ve been exploring the National Register of Historic Places, the official list of the nation’s historic properties worthy of preservation. We’ve looked at the earliest buildings up through the 1880s. Now onto the 1890s: a time of architectural blossoming in Milwaukee:

Made this 4-flap enclosure for a book with loose newspaper clippings inside it. It’s a 4-flap wrapper with a pocket on one flap. Velcro tabs.
I think this was a good solution to keep all together…

On the banks of Vennar River, in the districts of Thanjavur, lies a small village called Kallaperumbur, home to two temples of antiquity - Brihannayaki Sametha Kailasanathar (A Shiva Temple) and the Varadaraja Perumal (A Vishnu Temple). (1/6)
With the inscriptions found in the dilapidated gopuram of the Shiva Temple (Image 2), we can trace back this temple to the period of Kulottunga Chola of the 12th /13th century. (2/6)
The Temple is a vast complex with sanctums for the Parivara Daivatas including Nruthi, Vinayagar, Subhramnaya and a separate sanctum outside the main complex for the Goddess. A small niche on the outer walls of the Maha Mandapa has a sculpture of Natraja and Parvati. (3/6)

Depuis janvier 2020, #RENOIR travaille avec l’association Inter-Parcs du #MassifCentral (#IPAMAC) à l’accompagnement de 8 #ParcsNaturels du périmètre Massif dans la construction et la mise en œuvre de leurs politiques de "#territorialisation" de la #préservation de l'#obscurité.
La préservation de l’environnement #nocturne est désormais une préoccupation de l’aménagement de l’espace. Elle oblige à de nvx. arbitrages, à la définition de nvx. référentiels d’action publique conciliant les enjeux sociotechniques et environnementaux de l’éclairage artificiel.
La territorialisation est la démarche qui permet de mettre l’action publique en adéquation avec les systèmes de #valeurs et de représentations liés aux dimensions écologique, environnementale mais également historique, sociale, économique, politique et symbolique des territoires.
#WorldEnvironmentDay2020 we bring you the story of #Mumbai's only #botanicalgarden, one of its most important environmental assets. Read the thread to know more about the founding of this important #green lung which was established together with #BDLMuseum in late 19th century
The Veermata Jijabai Bhonsale Udyan, formerly known as Victoria Gardens, was established with the #BDLMuseum as it's sister institution, enabling each other as "a Hall of Wonder and a Garden of Delight".

A group of #Mumbai's eminent citizens- Dr. Bhau Daji Lad, #DavidSassoon, #JamsetjeeJeejeebhoy, and Sir #GeorgeBirdwood, later curator of the #BDLMuseum, decided to establish a botanical garden and a museum to study the #flora, #fauna and #culture of the Bombay Presidency.

The real heroes who deserve to be celebrated are the skilled crafts communities integral to #preservation #conservation of #heritage #sites #monuments and #museums across the world. These are photos from the #NalandaUniversity, a #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite in #Bihar in 2013
Here, when we had gone on a research trip as the Bihar Museum #design team, we had found #craftsmen making bricks and sculptures to help in the restoration of the 1500 year old site. We thought this was extremely imp as the process was similar
I had suggested that this process be filmed and displayed as part of ‘continuing traditions’ in the new Museum. Thankfully, this was accepted and a film has been made 😊
...
Thank you the real heroes, we salute you for your skill and hard work, not just today but everyday 🙏🏽

So @PuckBrandGaming got us a shared Christmas gift for us at McKay’s in Greensboro, NC: a full size reel-to-reel player! Now we can archive my grandad’s old TV/radio recordings! 1/6 @Foone @textfiles @lazygamereviews
He was an Army Air Corps SSgt specializing in RADAR/Radio Tech. Once home he figured out how to wire his reel-to-reel into the TV so my grandmother wouldn’t miss her stories if she had to work! Audio only but better than nothing since NO RERUNS back then. 2/6
George B. Hawkins, my namesake for my middle name (the B.) was technically my STEP-grandpa. My biological grandfather Gerald Torian (my first namesake) died at 37 of his 3rd heart attack (WWII Marine in the Pacific same as GB, it’s why it took 3 to kill him...) 3/6
