I'd like to start teaching seminars at my local #library about personal #data #privacy and #security. The goal is to help people use modern technology without giving their data away to big tech companies and the government. (I'm in the USA, FYI.)
Since the Fedi is rich with expertise in that area, I'd love to tap your brain. I've gone through the process myself and feel like I've reached a good balance, but I'd love input and resources.
Boosts/questions welcome! :)
The wonderful library at Drum Castle in Aberdeenshire. One of our favourite rooms in any Scottish castle, it was formed in the 1840s within the upper part of the original tower house that was built here in about 1300.

PLEASE SHARE! COME WORK WITH ME! LIBRARIES ARE OUR BEST HOPE!
I have cancelled all but one of my streaming video subscriptions in an effort to save money. I wanted to watch a certain movie but didn’t have a physical or digital copy, and didn’t want to purchase it. Suddenly, I remembered that libraries exist. Today I walked to the library and checked out a few movies on Blu-ray and DVD. For free. I feel strangely powerful. Support - and use - your local library.
Did you know that we tour the various faculties at our #university with a Pop-up #Library?
Next up: our Faculty of #Science and #Engineering on 5 December.
We welcome all #academic staff of this faculty to visit our Pop-up Library and meet our experts for #openaccess publishing, open educational resources, research data management, and systematic reviews.
And, of course, to ask all your library-related questions 📚

Day 24: Goth Moth
My favourite goth moth - Mothman! Reading horror naturally. A little bookmark design but was a bit rushed today so might have to recarve this as a little off for my liking!

It's international #OAweek again, with the same theme as last year: #Community over Commercialization.
Read the interview with our experts on diamond open access about how our #library supports community-driven #publishing:
https://www.rug.nl/library/news/meet-our-experts-on-diamond-open-access
“Diamond open access embodies the true and original spirit of the open access movement: to make the scholarly publishing industry more accessible, but also more affordable and #fair for everyone.”

Queer romantic fantasy fans who use Hoopla:
I know we’re halfway through the month so you’re probably holding on to your very last borrow like Gollum clutching his Precious, but I’m letting you know my books are now available on Hoopla.
The Uses of Illicit Art — my most popular
Domesticated Magic — my best*
Fair Haven — my favourite
Six Feet of Ridiculous — features my favourite character, introduced at the end of Bastard’s Grace
And then there’s Wild Imperative — technically a YA m/f romantasy but it’s a good deal more low-key than current trends (start of a completed trilogy, the second and third books are queued for upload but it’s taking a while)
Of course, you can always request them for the library service you actually use, or find them via https://books2read.com/wendypalmer/ if you are so inclined.
*to date, let’s hope I haven’t peaked this damn …

What would be your reaction if you came upon a library but didn't know what a library was... 🤔😂

👋 We are excited to join @fediforum next week for the first time.
We'd love to exchange ideas with you about
➡️ academics’ mastodon use: drivers and hurdles; it's a small #research project we're currently starting;
➡️ #decentralized #SocialMedia in #academia; our #university #library’s perspective;
