@hugh I think there is not a single word for that but in german it would be something like: „erfolgreich auf der Stelle treten“.
I simultaneously feel like I had a huge and somewhat successful work week, yet achieved nothing. There must be a German word for this.

Anyway I really need to stop looking ta

Watching ABC News about the fb story and it’s striking that “getting our news from this one web site” is treated like “clean drinking water”, like we’ve been denied a basic human right or something.
Frankly I am having a hard time feeling outraged on behalf of Australian organisations stupid/lazy enough to think having a Facebook page is equivalent to having a well managed website.
TIL there is still an "Aleph enhancements" process. #LibraryTalk

Has anyone here recently written or edited an academic book, and would also be willing to answer a small number of specific questions about galleys, proofs and file formats? Let me know if that's you. Boosts welcome.
I read an article about the need for "critical search" this morning and it could not have been more timely.
