At the beginning of the school year, I gleefully waste paper. It’s a bit dangerous to come near me, actually, especially if I don’t know you, because you risk being sent away with maps, and HOLLIS guides, and business cards, and a job application…and about ten thousand librarian-inflicted paper cuts. Oops.<\/p>\n
But one of the great things about September is that I get to indoctrinate new people…er…point out all sorts of interesting things, like this:<\/p>\n
E-Research@Harvard Libraries<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, why the developers stuck that easy-to-forget hyphen in the url, I’ll never know, but nomenclature aside, this site is just plain cool. How could I not like a library portal that (standard disclaimer: features include but are not limited to): links me to online journal indexes, reference books,\u00a0and streaming audio<\/a>; stores a portfolio of citations and resources that I use all the time; and lets me – which I literally did not know until five minutes ago when I checked out the sci-fi journals\u00a0on a whim – read Femspec<\/a> online?<\/p>\n
