If a student walked in and told you "summarize your work for me because I'm unwilling to read and understand it in full," would you accept that? What about if they then asked you questions you'd already answered in the paper? You've built a system that teaches people not to read or research.

Why is it vendors and publishers keep charging more or separating resources out to charge more but then libraries are folding or cutting staff? Plus AI is going to cause problems when people don’t know how to assess information.

Claiming AI hallucinations can be caught by citation checking is a naive: even if it was scalable, what about AI citations that cite real pieces of work but entirely make up the contents. I’ve seen this in action: a whole table made up from thin air citing a real textbook as the source #medlibs

So academic freedom is well and truly dead at Texas Tech. Also, how exactly are health sciences programs (and #medlibs) supposed to adhere to professional standards and best practices with discriminatory policies like this in play? www.texastech.edu/downloads/26...
Clinical Psychology and Health Services: An exception is granted for upper-division 
undergraduate and graduate-level coursework within clinical, counseling, and school psychology 
programs. Instructors in these specified courses may include and evaluate SOGI topics exclusively 
through the lens of objective clinical assessment and current DSM diagnostic criteria. To maintain 
alignment with state and federal law and TTU System guidance, this instruction must not endorse 
fluid gender identity as an empirical biological reality that supersedes the two-sex requirement, nor 
may programs compel students to personally affirm gender ideology, provided the student 
demonstrates the ability to deliver standard, non-discriminatory clinical care.
