The other: "needs re-structuring". I'll cede, but re-structuring always feels the most "damaging" at the time, even if I like the result!

Got the fun situation of two conflicting reader reports on recent article. One says (paraphrased) "this is great: publish as is".

Latest scholarly kitchen article says problem with CC-BY is that people are republishing without attribution. But that's not a prob w/ CC.

Spent the afternoon finishing off reading Colin Koopman's (absolutely fantastic) book on Foucault. Re-situated firmly in Kantian realm.

Mostly focused on making the library a bi-directional hub for the university. Need to /communicate with/ and /educate/ researchers.

An enjoyable afternoon with Jisc and RLUK. Thanks to @benshowers for the invite. Think it went pretty well considering sickness level!

Am (a bit) saddened to report that Zizek did not come to the UCU OA debate, by the way.

A good evening debating open access at Birkbeck UCU with @MeeraSabaratnam and @PabloK - lots of good union action points.

Ok, so Zizek just walked past me. Sure as hell hope he isn't coming to the session I'm about to speak at.
