• Americans Are Skipping Doctor Visits Due to Costs

  I never said doctors were the problem, I said congress was the major cause of the problem by limiting the amount of residency slots based on incorrect predictions. Those for-profit engines do have an effect but they're just playing by the rules established by congress. Not sure where you got conspiratorial or uninformed, here's the study that guided the decision making [1]. I will take sophomoric since I don't... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Show HN: Hacker News User Blogroll

  Probably better to sort by karma by default though, otherwise it's alphabetical privilege all over again lol https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ905588. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• The World Is Full of Sleeping Beauties

  I would point to the World Wide Web as an example of this. This book https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED058713 circa 1970 predicted that you'd be getting your news online in the early 1980s based on the "Delphi method" polling both experts and laymen. The author was famous later for books like The Media Monopoly that took a Marxist perspective but this book takes a McLuhanite perspective but attacks the concept... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Help! Library Asst. turned Librarian!

  Rutgers has an excellent School Librarianship program (ranked #2 nationally, though it was #1 when I attended... cough). You can find the course details here: uh... here. You can see if there are topics or concepts in some of the course learning objectives that are relevant to your needs. You might find that your local library can be helpful in connecting you to some of those resources. You may also find ERIC has... Source: about 1 year ago

  Check out https://openlibrary.org. You can search ´library science’, librarian’, etc, and something should come up. Just select the ‘ebooks’ option to search for items within the collection. And you can narrow the search by subject, etc. Source: 6 months ago

• NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month

  Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site. I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books.... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• YSK: You can access many old and out of print hiking books from the Internet Archive's Open Library

  The Internet Archive runs what they call the Open Library, which is a unique concept on the traditional library. You can sign-up with minimal details and digitally check out many scanned books from libraries all over the world. The only caveat is that almost all of the books are older editions - ones that would be impossible to find locally. It's great if you're looking for old routes, a look back in time, details...

• Searching for a pharmacy book

  I want to clarify that I'm a non-US citizen, so accessing physical copies from US libraries or buying it from Amazon might not be feasible for me. To give you some context, my personal research was guided by the wiki section of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH (https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/reading/). I've conducted research using various online resources, including the Ebook & Open Source/Access Libraries... Source: 9 months ago
