Hello everyone. I'm cross-posting this from my other accounts. I was recently laid off from the National Security Archive (a nonprofit) where I was working as a metadata #librarian & #indexer of declassified U.S. govt. documents. I am looking for in-person work in the #Baltimore area or #remotework (preferred). I have developed skills in #cataloging, #indexing, #organization, #research and #writing. #fediverse #fedihire #fedijobs

Hello all. Yesterday evening, I received a RIF notice that I was let-go from the National Security Archive (a nonprofit) where I was working as a metadata #librarian & #indexer of declassified U.S. government documents. So, I am looking for in-person work in the #Baltimore area or #remotework (preferred). I have developed skills in #cataloging, #indexing, #organization, #research and #writing. #fediverse #fedihire #fedijobs
For those who are curious about positional indices and, more generally, the technical challenges of #indexing, check out those nice slides: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/1718/InfoRtrv/handouts/lecture2-indexing.pdf. \5

@delta also the whole "BuT #mEtAdAtA?" Discussion is completely blown out of proportions by #Signal fanboys.
- Whereas #deltaChat and #XMPP+#OMEMO are truly #decentralized, #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider #OpenStandards that allow for full #SelfCustody off all the keys and comms.
In fact, I'm convinced someone already made a #delta #chat #server as an #OnionService over @torproject / #Tor just for the lulz.
- The biggest Advantage for Delta Chat is that it doesn't require yet another server but instead just uses #IMAP + #SMTP and can even be integrated in #corporate communications that require #archival and #indexing by merely feeding the private keys to said #eMail archival software [i.e. #benno #MailArchiv], which makes it possible to comply with regulations like #GoBD & #HGB where applicable.
Not that this is something the average user encounters, but it is a big bonus for larger organizations!

Library of Congress states that the U.S. periodical only ran from 1974-1976
so I have absolutely no idea (a 4th different journal?) what Scopus claims to be covering "from 1980 to 1981" 
I'm genuinely impressed with how many wrong things Scopus (Elsevier) can state about a journal...
https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/28442
This page appears to amalgamate information about 3 or more different journals into one mishmash
* The U.S. periodical 'Network' est. 1974 (ISSN-L: 0093-3341)
* The British journal 'Network' est. 1990 (ISSN-L: 0954-898X)
* The Swiss journal 'Network' est. 2021, published by MDPI (ISSN-L:
2673-8732)
Universities pay for Scopus?
Does the African academy need its own citation index? by David Mills & Toluwase Asubiaro
"... journals published in the global peripheries, in small fields, or in languages other than English, struggle to get indexed. In 2023, if one excludes South Africa, only around 60 of the 30,000 plus journals indexed in Web of Science were published from Sub Saharan Africa."

(I will continue with solutions for retrieving quality information. But first, here is a status:)
If you use #Google #search, you only look into a catalogue, selected by a transnational company. The indexing pool has shifted further: Google shows new content only for a few hours… if the publisher authority is smallish.
"For these smaller players, it's not just about creating good content anymore – it's about convincing Google that your content is absolutely necessary for their index.
"Google has transformed from a comprehensive search engine into something more akin to an exclusive catalog.
"For users, it means that the information they're looking for might exist but remain undiscoverable through Google."

This index is a work in progress, but it will probably be helpful for folks trying to find things in the Pali Suttas. It is the main way that suttas for the Daily Sutta Emails are selected.
