The @librarycongress.bsky.social held an ace digital preservation event in March, and I learned so much about storage costs/options. Also an opportunity to talk about @dpc-chat.digipres.club.ap.brid.gy work on carbon footprint calculation. digitalpreservation.gov/meetings/DSA...

The 12th edition of Clark's Publishing Precedents is out, and it is astonishing how much the different editions continue to evolve! This one is full of AI stuff, unsurprisingly. I again contributed the Accessibility Appendix, this time working with lovely Stacy Scott of @tandfresearch.bsky.social

Could it be more effective - given the financial situation - to rebrand “experimental” publishing as “affordable, innovative ” publishing? @uksg.bsky.social #uksg2026

Thank you to Andrew Barker for making this dynamic explicit from the stage! And advocating articulately for more idealism. #uksg2026

Alicia Wise@wisealic.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Is anyone else also struggling with the unspoken tension between perhaps more idealistic and more pragmatic views juxtaposed in quite this way? We need both to advance and this seems a false and frustrating dichotomy. @uksg.bsky.social #uksg2026

Kira Hopkins from COPIM pushes back at any conflation of “community led” publishing and “university press” publishing (not just publishing but infrastructures too). @uksg.bsky.social #uksg2026

Linda McGrath from Amsterdam University Press is doing a great job articulating what may be unpopular views about small scholarly publishers. Many of these points are explored in this recent Knowledge Exchange report: zenodo.org/records/1795... #uksg2026

Tom Morley from Lancaster University shares lots of great ideas for celebrating author success when they choose to publish #OA books. #UKSG2026
