Help! I'm having the worst time finding clear guidelines for SLJ / PW / Kirkus reviewers. Trying to teach MLIS students the format, and the super useful Anatomy of A Review from Kiera Parrott has disappeared. Anybody got current detailed guidelines for reviewers?

If you watch #BarbieTheMovie this weekend, just remember that the dazzling cinematography was made by Mexican talent.
Rodrigo Prieto is highly acclaimed in the film industry for his innovative style where lighting and composition are essential storytelling elements. 🎥
How many librarians swooned when we saw the set backdrop for @Indigo_Girls and @NekoCase on tour? I used my tee and lots of years in kid/YA lit to take a first stab at the reading list: tinyurl.com/IGbookspt1. Available at your local library (we hope)! @SPLBuzz
Part 2 (the lower shelves) is here: tinyurl.com/IGbookspt2. Definitely some titles that are hard to make out from my concert tee - lmk what you recognize that I missed and I'll update!

The Venn diagram of Indigo Girls fans and queer librarians of a certain age is practically a circle... how did nobody mention the very specific books in the set backdrop and the MERCH? @surlyspice not to put you on blast but what the heck? 😂

TEAM.
This 1989 paperback from Tor is NOT ONLY a double feature Vonda McIntyre / James Tiptree Jr. NOT ONLY a flip-it-upside-down do-si-do.
In the middle? Completely hidden and not mentioned anywhere?
IS THE FIRST THREE CHAPTERS OF SWORDSPOINT. just hanging out! LEGENDARY.

That $35 that scientific journals charge you to read a paper goes 100% to the publisher, 0% to the authors. If you just email us to ask for our papers, we are allowed to send them to you for free, and we will be genuinely delighted to do so. teapawt.net/mantia/status/10135597…

Thanks to never being famous or going viral plus curation, my experience of Twitter has been genuinely wonderful. I've learned SO MUCH in this space. Thank you all so much for being smart and funny and generous with putting stuff out there and for all the memes.

A friend needs SF romance recs for her romance book club and I realized I have very few! Any faves, fellow readers?

So thrilled to be #BackAtGGC22 ! Completed the Seattle Art Friends Scavenger Hunt and got to share with @eileendraws and @kittykatmeroow that my #1 rare ship is GBBO '18's Karen/Terry/Mr Karen (who we see in the background vacuuming). Tldr: buy cute stuff on the 4th floor!!

We hear it from students all the time: “.com websites are bad. .edu and .org websites are good, unless it’s Wikipedia.” These misconceptions can lead students dangerously astray. A thread on the problem and lesson ideas to use with your students. 🧵

Librarians are the best: “If anyone has questions about Oakland, we’re the place to come. People are constantly coming here with seemingly unanswerable questions, but somehow we manage to answer a surprising amount of them.” altaonline.com/dispatches/a4…

All I can think about are the kids who won't get to read wonderful, amazing, maybe life-changing books because of stuff like this.
