Nothing new here in how Stanford treats outside users of their library. Back in 81-82 when I was at Santa Clara, I got big time "you don't belong here" attitude when I needed to access their microfilms of old newspapers (not available at SCU) for a paper I was writing in my ethnic studies class. I was looking at shifting attitudes towards Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor as a run-up to FDR's executive order establishing the WW2 concentration camps. Stanford can fuck right off, in my humble opinion. There was a college in Santa Clara when there was nothing but eucalyptus trees in Palo Alto.
We are self isolating here too; the only errands we'll be running are grocery runs to restock perishables and cat needs. I am holding off scheduling some follow up medical appointments.
I'm waiting to see if/when we end up with no Wiscon this year. I am working on a program item about remote accessibility for conventions; it may turn out to be brainstorming for alternative W44. I don't think we should go on with the con, but the SF3 board has to look at contractual obligations/legalities/possible financial penalties. I understand that, but think we have to take clear action RealSoonNow.
