Obviously I pursued the wrong degree and should have become a librarian because you always find the most useful things!

Another great discussion folks! One question on discovery layers: once students get a taste of and get good at using it, what are the chances they’ll ever want to go back to using the subject-specific databases, especially in this age of increasingly multidisciplinary topics, limited time, and ever-evolving database interfaces? I fear that is the largest danger of of discovery layers, although I’m not totally convinced it’s even a danger for most. In other words, teaching students library systems in the first place is kind of meaningless since these are not the tools they’ll be using out in the real world.. Your thoughts?

The BibUp workflow is great! I’d thought of providing something similar in Zandy, but the Zotero API doesn’t yet allow attachment uploading, so I didn’t know how to make snapshots work in a logical and reliable manner. Uploading to an intermediate server and then just building off of the existing Zotero translators is a superb workaround for this limitation!
