The reader isn't the issue is it? The thing you want to get around is having to buy books from AMAZON, which is their profit engine. A reader should be able to let you buy new, popular read, ebooks from elsewhere.

Many books aren't available as epub because publishers insist on DRM.

Welcome back to Cyberpunk Librarian.

Episode 67 leads right into episode 68 as Dan takes on the theory and practice of underground librarianship, anarchivism, and shadow librarianship.

As ever, a great, motivational episode!

I am completely overwhelmed, burnt out even, by an ILS migration which is not happening as well as it was supposed to atm, but I really want to lead some new projects afterward which would be more public-focused, and you gave me a few ideas I could more or less adapt to my community.

in reply to Val

@val Hey, I get the migration frustration for sure! The nature of my job? It's not unusual for me to help a library with an ILS migration at least twice a year. And the only thing I can ever tell anyone about ILS migrations is "There is the plan, and then there is what actually happens, and these are two very different things that will diverge almost immediately."

The ride will come to an end, just probably not as smoothly as anyone would like! And good luck with yours!

@Val
in reply to Cyberpunk Librarian

Oh yeah, although there are way more hiccups that I would have expected. Luckily, I have a pretty good grasp of the data we migrate, and I have a colleague who's very much at ease with DB management, and we have a service provider who's going to be sysadmin who's doing a lot (although, I am pretty sure we are doing more ourselves than is usualโ€ฆ).

But we also have deadline, because after Aug. 31, the former ILS is gone for good.

in reply to Val

Also,โ€ฆ for the sake of honesty: I have been working as a public librarian myself for 11 years: adult section manager, ILS manager, cataloger, circulation desk, etc.

I do not have an actual library degree, either.

I have a master in history, & some administrative paper saying I have followed 2y out of 4 of evening librarian courses (burn out of studiying after 6yuni + these 2y), and I started working following a good internship before I got the paper.

in reply to Val

@val Totally understand. It's not a useless degree, and it never has been. But after working with newly minted librarians year and year, from the Masters to the Doctorate... I've worked with so many people who didn't learn the things they needed to learn. And it's not their fault, that's on their schools. That's a problem with curriculum. I'm sure this isn't a problem with all of the library schools out there but...

I find that a lot of them are somewhat divorced from reality.

@Val
in reply to Cyberpunk Librarian

Here it is a non-universitary degree, but yeah, there a few interesting things, but not that much, and it depends A LOT on the school.

My partner is doing it, and sheโ€™s gonna switch school, because she tired, angry even, at how useless most of her courses areโ€ฆ The school sheโ€™s going to seems way better, both content-wise and organizationaly.

We feel that divorce from reality too, every time we have an intern actually, and esp. for public libraries.

I found the classification of Leap as a "distro for experienced users" a bit surprising. To me it was always a really good distro to land in Linux, the popularity of Ubuntu, really, just being a shot in the foot of the whole ecosystem instead

To people crying socialism, this is not something the government has decided. It's been negotiated between McDonald's Denmark and the workers' union.
To everyone whining abt taxes: In Scandinavia (and the EU), nobody needs to work two or three jobs or > 40 hours a week. People earn a decent living from that 1 job. People can afford rent and food, daycare is cheap and you don't need to pay for healthcare.
That McDonald's worker is not working poor, she doesn't need food stamps or a second job.

Because nothing is too low for Amazon to abuse. This and MANY other reasons are why I've been boycotting that shit company since the year 2,000.
