@sbourne Ha! Funny enough I am not tempted by other leather books I have seen. They are retreads of what I already have. The only "new" volumes I have procured lately are e-books from scanned copies of very old volumes, so I can review the old methods of construction. But I am in search of another something that will hold all my issues of Leather Crafter's Journal, a publication I subscribe to. Meanwhile I plan to bind these, like the books on the bottom shelf, by the year of publication.

Update. This article in Nature makes the case that reusing #OpenData for new purposes is a good solution for "cash-strapped and early-career researchers" who don't have the means to generate their own.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00434-x True enough. But it undervalues the utility of past data for all relevant new projects, even well-funded new projects. The present thread gives some examples. Open data are not only, and not even primarily, for the indigent. They're for the savvy, those who notice their relevance, regardless of means.#Data #ECR #Funding #OpenScience #Reuse #ScholComm
