About
Library Hacks is a place to find out about tools, resources, services, and ideas that can help make your research and the library more efficient for you. It’s written mostly by Duke Libraries staff, but we’ll also have occasional student and faculty guest bloggers. (Want to be one? Let us know!)
Our inspirations are blogs like LifeHacker, LifeHack, AcademHack, and ParentHacks, and book series like O’Reilly’s Hacks Series.
Pretty often we’ll write about tools and services that aren’t provided by Duke Libraries or Duke University. We’re sharing information about them with you because we’ve tried them out or use them ourselves and think they might be useful to you too, but just because we’ve written about them here doesn’t mean that Duke endorses them in any way or that we can provide support if you have any problems with them. We also can’t vouch for the privacy and security practices of any third-party tools or services, so you should always look at the source of the tools and services you choose to use, and make sure you’re comfortable with their policies and trustworthiness. We are of course always glad to help out members of the Duke community with Duke-supported tools and services. If you have questions, ask a librarian.
Please let us know what you think of this blog, and send us tips if you know of some library hacks that you think we should write about here.
