Forgot to get yours to us? Don’t worry, we’re not too hung up on deadlines. Send ‘em if you have ‘em 😉

ALT Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship special issue What could we do if we dreamed big? If we weren’t tied to the tech we happen to have? If we weren’t limited by insufficient resources? How would we, as people, rather interact with digital libraries? How could our work be more rewarding? How could digital librarianship be joyous?
Who us? We’re just thinking that anyone interested in a course like @ess_ell_zee’s is likely to be interested in our upcoming special issue

Just a quick appreciation tweet:
When we first started this project we didn’t know how it would work, if it would work
But our reviewers are so generous
And our authors are so collaborative and authentic
It makes us so happy ❤️

“We want a digital library that is more inclusive … we have such a beautifully diverse state and I think we’re doing everyone a disservice if we’re not able to represent that.” @ess_ell_zee and @leah_dun_pow on @LouisianaDigLib/@lsulibraries Y’ALL Award

New article out!
“Toward Empathetic Digital Repositories: An Interview with Diego Pino Navarro”
digitalcommons.lsu.edu/jcdl/…
In this interview, @dpinonavarro tells @ess_ell_zee about building a digital library for catalogers’ unique, local knowledge
Y’all, we’re all tired and need to grant each other deep grace
So we’ve updated our publication model to reduce deadlines
Articles are published as they’re ready. Anything published January - June is Summer issue, July-December is Winter issue
We want to support, not stress 💜
You can read more about this here:
digitalcommons.lsu.edu/jcdl/…
This change comes from our deep appreciation for our authors and reviewers
We don’t want to add to the burnout so many of us are feeling
