The Allen Ginsberg Project: "Our friend Kirt Markle has been busy experimenting with collage images for quite some time.

ACRLog: "This could be the tipping point. The time has come for faculty and librarians working with undergraduates to loosen up. In the cosmic scale of things, this manual labor really is trivial, but it carries a huge carbon footprint. For every hour spent writing a paper, at least an equivalent hour is spent trying to figure out whether you need a comma or a period here, which city out of the six on the title page is the one to use, what database you printed that article out of, or trying to identify the website of a journal for an article published in 1986 that you printed off JSTOR, given the publication changed titles three times and switched publishers five time since then. As this activity always happens in the wee hours of the morning on the day the paper is due, lights and computers have to be running, so we’re talking about a major energy drain...And what exactly are the learning outcomes of creating an error-free list of references? You learn that research is a pain in the butt."

Bombay Gin and not enough night. Haven't checked them out yet? You should!
