The call for papers for Code4Lib Journal‘s special issue on static websites ended very recently and the results have been exceptional. The guest editors for the special issue have clearly done a good job conceptualizing and promoting their call. Likewise, the call for the first issue Humanities Methods in Librarianship closes on Friday, and while… Continue reading On credibility

Code4Lib 2026
I’m currently on my way to Philadelphia to attend the last day of the Code4Lib 2026 conference. While I would have loved to attend the whole thing, available days and budget were real limiting factors. I will be attending two workshops tomorrow which both sound really interesting. I’m also hoping to have some conversations about… Continue reading Code4Lib 2026

I also sometimes feel that my edits are too superficial,… Continue reading Editing
Code4Lib 2023
Code4Lib 2023 wrapped up today. I attended in person this year, as it was nearby, in Princeton, New Jersey. As always, it was really great.

The ghost of Code4Lib future
I was complaining about the Computers in Libraries magazine website recently, for pretty obvious reasons. I wanted to link to an article I wrote for the magazine from my faculty bio page, but I can’t in good faith send people to that website. I mean, it’s fine that the site is old; it’s actually kind… Continue reading The ghost of Code4Lib future
