For both the London International School and the London Rare Books School we have hand-printed each individual name badge, using 3D-printed plates and our new 'Room 101 Press' - a merging of old and new technology beautifully displayed here by IES PhD student Miranda Rainbow!
This is nonsensical. Libraries buy huge numbers of books you wouldn't otherwise sell. They're a massive discoverability vector for authors. The reasons behind the declining author earnings are not hard to guess. People read less, have less $ to spend, +media is being consolidated by megacorporations

My contribution to Zotero discourse:
1. Thank you to the W&M librarian that introduced me to reference managers as a sophomore
2. SHARP Bibs for the last 3 years would be way harder w/o Zotero
3. If you wanna learn Zotero, this libguide is great!

If a citation generated with Zotero is wrong, it’s because the metadata was incorrect, 100% of the time. Zotero isn’t doing any predictive work, it is just plugging in what it has with where that information goes. Metadata is not perfectly or consistently applied!
I have 15 yrs of my research interests in zotero. I always tell the students "this may not work for you but you should try it". I lost all my notecards with my citations every time so Z was a huge win.
I'd rather they use a citation manager than pull made-up citations off Chatgpt or whatever
The key for reference managers is that if you actually are going to cite something, check your metadata fields, and then check your generated bibliography after. Otherwise, it's great for saving and organizing your TBR.
However, I do all my mss bib entries by hand bc Zotero doesn't handle that well!
