Question:
There is an incorrect book cover for a record I see in Searchworks. What can I do?

The California Digital Library is offering a Web Archiving Service to enable librarians and scholars to capture and archive sites that are at risk of disappearing. One of the clients, UCB, has already created archives of pages on local issues such as California's state government, the 2007 Southern California Wildfires, and the 2003 California recall election, as well as international issues such as the Guantanamo Bay Detention and Middle East politics, according to Erica Hendry's blogpost in The Wired Campus.

The debate about whether Twitter, along with texting, IM and other social networking tools, is destroying language skills among college students continues. Yesterday's Higher Ed Morning reports about the findings of a study done by Oxford University Press, and then welcomes comments.

See the discussion Oh, Twitter, What Will Become of Our Language? on the thickculture blog.

You can also contact the IC in Green Library for resources on this topic, such as Always on : language in an online and mobile world (currently checked out).

Question:
Is there a place where I can borrow a cable?

Answer:

Yes. The Tech Desk on the second floor of Meyer Library has equipment available for loan using your Stanford ID card. All material is due back by 5:00 pm the next day that Meyer is open (the Meyer Tech Desk is open on most weekends and even some holidays).

You can find more information at Equipment Checkout, including a partial list of Items Available for Checkout.
