The local (KION/KCBW) cameras were on the #CSUMB  campus all afternoon yesterday, and our officials were on the 5pm/6pm news talking about important stuff. Fine, but some of us actually had to teach classes during showtime. Where's the video?

Toward end of each semester, students are buying each other food. Some individual meal plans have run dry, others still have plenty on them... At least that's how it works around here...

FYI, Laura Gibbs, our student paper has come a long way over the past couple of years. Our local free weekly is pretty much the "paper of record" for our area, now that our dailies have been bought out a couple of times and reduced to within an inch of their lives. So when the Weekly says the Otter Realm is doing well, it's real praise.

#assessment quagmire on my campus. Slide show in our Academic Senate meeting today. Several personal friends are working on this and I wish them luck, while hoping their work doesn't drive us batty at the grassroots teaching end.

We did this (plus jigsaw puzzles) at #CSUMB last fall.

But the risk for publishers is that if library funding struggles continue, forcing deep cutbacks on subscriptions, professors will turn to Sci-Hub more, causing a slow erosion of the industry. A recent survey by University of Southern California and California State University librarians of more than 250 academics found that 41 percent “don’t care” about copyright. Thirty percent think “information should be free.”
