Despite writing a bit more on open access and repositories in the last few years, I find the issues incredibly deep and nuanced and I am always thinking and learning about them.

Long time readers of my blog know that I'm a bit of a worrier when it comes to libraries,

2016 seems to the year Sci-hub has broken out into popular consciousness.

It's probably a coincidence but I have been recently getting queries about pursuing a career as a academic librarian in Singapore, so I decided to write "So you want to be a academic librarian in Singapore?"

In Aug 2014, I wrote the speculative "How academic libraries may change when Open Access becomes the norm".

When I was back in school, I dreaded art class as I was simply horrible at it.

UPDATE : Years after I wrote this OCLC now offers Ezproxy analytics which uses Ezpaarse and Elastic's Kibana for dashboards.

Last month, I had the opportunity to attend VALA16 in Melbourne and I capped off my visit down under by seizing the opportunity to attend ANZREG (Australia New Zealand Regional Ex Libris Group for users) seminar.

I always been fortunate to be associated with a institute with a good academic library so I haven't really kept up with illegal or semi-illegal ways of getting access to scholarly material.

It's the beginning of 2016, and nostalgia once again makes me look back at my past posts to see how they have stood the test of time.

Devices and workflow - A mini review of Moto 360 In the early years of my blog, I used to post about my use of my new devices like iPhone (2010), iPad (2011) and web services that I use. I've now switched over to the android world, current setup is Android Note 4 + Nexus 7 (2013). A few months back in Oct I got a Moto 360 v1 at a fairly cheap price to try out the Android wear smartwatch.
