I am a member of such a library thru my emeritus status and even so, about
half the stuff I look for is behind some sort of a paywall. Many of the
major publishers are busily cutting off their own noses to spite their
faces, and they've got their noses pretty much level to their faces by now.
Cleaning out my email, due to a recent 6-week long trip, I think I'm seeing
a very odd phenomenon: Linked-in endorsements are increasing considerably!
I'm wondering if this is a nifty power-law example where someone gets an
endorsement, that reminds them to either endorse back and/or to endorse
Yes, I'm seeing the same thing, but I don't know why nor can I assess its
significance. So somebody endorses me as a Freelance writer. So what,
especially if they are friends and not clients?

Yes, seeing it, but I think it's a Linked-In artifact, nothing real.

Yeah. At first LI didn't do it well - the first few I got left me with no
option to return the favor. However, they eventually rigged it up that when
you log in to LI (not just go to a forum discussion), you get presented with a
mini-app with four people you should know and what they've said
I was endorsed for 'teaching' and 'research'. It makes one wonder to what
extent the people responsible for hiring actually use LinkedIn to search
for / verify candidates - it seems there are better (albeit specialized)
sites, like Behance for artists, et cetera).
