In december verscheen aflevering 92 en Jaap en Erik houden ons nog even in spanning wanneer de volgende aflevering online wordt gezet.

Beeld van de week

Meer dan een jaar geleden publiceerde ik de post Ook bewaren is samenwerken, over landelijk overleg over gemeenschappelijk bewaarbeleid van de universiteitsbibliotheken in Nederland. Het aantal raadplegingen van deze specifieke post volgde een vertrouwd patroon: in de eerste paar dagen een flink aantal raadplegingen en daarna af en toe nog eens een kleine oprisping. Met deze post ging het echter anders, bemerkte ik afgelopen week. Deze maand is hij al 3x zo vaak geraadpleegd als in de dagen kort na publicatie en ik heb echt geen flauw benul waarom. Geen extra aandacht voor gevraagd, geen link naar geplaatst, maar opeens deze belangstelling. Raar zoals dat soms toch gaat.
