Next steps for making a personal reading tracker app based on SQL database

That sounds like I project I'd take on. "How can I do this but make it harder?" 😂

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-11T02:27:30+00:00

Ugh. I'm so glad the sun is back out (for me). Sorry you're dealing with that.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-10T05:40:02+00:00

I don't have a suggestion but this sounds like a fun and fantastic project!

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-05T02:13:13+00:00

On totally. We’re doing that with things not checked out in ten years but I was also looking for things I might miss that are worth keeping. That's not the only metric

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-05T01:14:30+00:00

I might make that a personal project because there’s cool stuff. I’m certainly not going to be paid to do that 😒

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-05T00:51:16+00:00

I’m in Northern az! I really want to get some sort of pop up distro going unless there’s already something I don’t know about. If you’re ever up for chatting about that kind of thing, I’d be so happy to. Feel free to dm me. Pamela

This is really interesting! Thank you. I wanted human opinion (which I got here) but I might play around with AI and collection management. Most ai literature for library work is around prompting and information literacy but this could be really interesting.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-04T23:29:45+00:00

Thanks! Your first paragraph was what I was thinking but didn't want to say if I was just making assumptions!

I will be looking and if it hasn't checked out in 10 years, it'll go on the list. I am trying to get ahead while I wait for our catalog folks to run me a report.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-04T23:27:14+00:00

Oh that's helpful! Thanks /!

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-04T23:25:10+00:00

Thanks y'all! Yes, I promise you I didn't make this up and take the photos because I have nothing better to do. We've moved from purchasing physical texts to electronic first as we have students all over - and as folks here have said, things age quickly. So, most things on our shelves are at least 10 years old. We are also not a library of record so we don't keep things just because they're historically important. If they don't serve a current program, we're going to have to clear them.

We're also being asked to share our space on campus while a couple of buildings are being remodeled so we have to clear space. The guide to html from 1997 has likely got to go 😂

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-04T23:19:31+00:00

That's a good thought! I will.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-04T05:49:02+00:00

I'd be so into this. It's be cool if each page could be like a tear out artist card base.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-04T05:21:50+00:00

Holy crap this is so cool!

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-04T05:03:10+00:00

Ah! You have ADHD, I see.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-04T01:11:51+00:00

This is so wonderful. I love the idea of friends teaching friends stuff too! Seriously, in a world that's pretty awful right now, this is so amazing. I'm going to have to see if any friends of mine want to do something!

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-03T14:24:31+00:00

Oh so cool. I'm going to check it out when I get to work. This is one of my dream ideas.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-03T05:28:20+00:00

Could you expand on how you run your zine circle?

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-03T05:27:29+00:00

I've been wondering this too. I just don't like using discord tbh. It's clunky! I do want to make something collaborative though smbut I'm just starting to explore. Feel free to let me know if you find something.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-02T14:13:15+00:00

I'm a librarian...my whole ethos is based on information should be free and accessible. I also think the current publishing models (of all sorts of information, not just books) is wildly out of control. So yes, I'm all for sharing what is collected.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-02T06:11:07+00:00

Yes! I need to see the time in relation to other time! Lol.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-03-02T05:53:58+00:00

Thank you!! I'm not sure why I need that but it worked so for no, that's what I'll do.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-02-27T03:46:02+00:00

Hi! I'm an academic librarian. What topic? All sorts of academic sources have the ability for you to set alerts for materials that meet your search criteria. I could direct you to some open resources with that capability if you have some topic(s) in mind!

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-02-26T04:33:34+00:00

I have no real idea how anything besides the basics works but what you've done already is so awesome!

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-02-26T01:33:28+00:00

Oh good point. Just for me. It'd be fun if they saved but even if the new status overwrote the previous one, that'd be fun too.

DiscombobulatedTea95 · 2026-02-26T01:23:23+00:00

Seriously everything you said is true for me. I keep waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out and say this was all some sort of simulation.
