#flipsters

Because I am An Old, I should mention that this very same bit was done round about 70 years ago in the hip language of the day by the late, great Lord Buckley.

"Hipsters, flipsters, and finger-poppin' daddies, knock me your lobes" remains one of my favorite lines from anything.

this is targeted tumblr content

[taffywabbit]

the biggest problem with tumblr is that every time i open it i instinctively want to make a text post that says "they call me the flipster. because i do that" but then remember i already made almost that exact post and anyone can easily find it and go "BOOO!! get new material, you hack!!". they probably wouldn't do that. but they could (if tumblr's search decided to work)

I see posts every now and then talking about how library books and electronic resources are free, so get a card and start using them.

Well, no. They aren't free. You've been paying for them, albeit indirectly.

I've been working in an academic library since 2002, first as a student assistant, then since 2006 as a full-time paraprofessional. I work in serials and handle tasks like managing proxy servers and developing web pages so people can get to our electronic resources. In May 2024, a little over a year from now, I will be receiving a Master of Science in Information Science, which will let me bear the title of librarian. I've seen a lot of price tags not thrown out to the public eye.

Services like Kanopy, Libby, and Flipster are great in that they deliver a ton of content to library patrons so long as they have a library card or other official means of identifying themselves as a patron of the subscribing library. For many public libraries, that would be the library card. For a lot of academic libraries, it is usually tied to a school email or a student ID number. However, they are subscriptions. They cost the subscribing library a lot of money. For my library, which serves a population of a couple thousand students, staff, and faculty, these services would cost us $20k-$40k per year each. For larger libraries and consortiums, the cost is even greater. The state of Texas has a statewide library collective that provides a suite of research databases. Each member library chips in a small amount. Taken all together, the suite costs tens of millions of dollars per year.

These subscriptions are a steal, but they are not free. A great deal you can't afford is still something you can't buy. Not every library can afford Kanopy. My library cannot. The public library down the street from me cannot. The larger libraries a few counties over can. Public libraries receive money from the local and state governments, and those funds are supplied from property, income, and sales taxes. Public academic libraries receive state funding and money from tuition and fees; private academic libraries receive money from tuition and fees. The larger the school, or the larger the city, the larger the budget.

In a time when budgets are shrinking and prices are going up, the money you and your peers indirectly supply to your library may someday not be enough, and those services you enjoy can go away. Do you like Kanopy? Use it. Do you like Flipster? Use it. Do you like your JSTOR or EBSCO access? Use them. When libraries have to make cuts, they prioritize things that are not used to cut first. It's great that these things are provided to you with no upfront fee, but you are still paying for them. Use what you're paying for so that libraries know what is worth keeping. Not only that, advocate to your city and state representatives to adequately fund these institutions.

THIS IS FUNNY FLIPSTER

Where to start? You remember the first words of Transglobal Underground’s Nile Delta Disco, “Hipsters, flipsters …”?* That was a direct quote from Lord Buckley’s reworking of Marc Antony’s funeral oration from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Willie The Shake, in which “Friends, Romans and countrymen, lend me your ears…” magically metamorphosises into “Hipsters, flipsters and finger poppin’ daddies, knock me your lobes…” in Buckleyspeak, Hip Semantic. He worked up epic monologues on all kinds of themes, some literary, some biblical, some historical, and some just from out there in the far-gonasphere.

Ian Anderson. Lord Buckley, originally published in fRoots 194/5, Aug/Sept 1999. Ian Anderson tells the story of the noblest wig bender of them all, the blessed Lord Buckley …
