Cornell University Library’s Position on Nondisclosure Clauses in Licenses To promote openness and fairness among libraries licensing scholarly resources, Cornell University Library will not enter into vendor contracts that require nondisclosure of pricing information or other information that does not constitute a trade secret.

By Julianna Baggott I'm lucky in that I work in a department that is kid-friendly, at a university that's making a concerted effort to support women on the faculty and families (including with a new parental-leave policy).

As a novelist whose personal bio exists on the back of every one of my books, I don't have the luxury of pretending not to have kids.

I've been treated extremely well on job interviews when I was hugely pregnant—so large I once had to ask for a golf cart for the campus tour. I wasn't pregnant during that interview but I did have four kids at home. Everyone looked at me patiently, as if to say, "Well? " Wrong.

The Espresso Book Machine. College & Research Libraries News. How Google Works: Are Search Engines Really Dumb and Why Should Educators Care? [Available Full-Text, Free] Before the web and search engines, libraries and librarians were the best answer to students’ question, Where do I find information about …?

Today, search engines, especially Google, rule. 1 Educators have known for many years that Google is not just a search engine. “To Google” is a research behavior that is a habit for students. A study of college students’ information seeking habits found that Google is the primary resource for the majority of students for course-related research. 2 That dependency was not adopted when students entered college; that practice was embraced when they first taught themselves how to use search engines for research.
