If you have any shovels in your special collections/archives (like, dedicatory shovels, ceremonial shovels, things like that), could you snap a picture for me? We are doing a lunch tomorrow to celebrate the archives and I want to have a slideshow of archives shovel friends. Thanks!

It is a research afternoon for me working on a project with some of my colleagues related to AI. I've read "ChatGPT" and "unbiased" used together so many times that I want to barf. "The program is unbiased, but the training data might contain bias." but what is the program without the training data?

A timely quote from Dr. Carla Hayden: “Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.”

So, the fascist cheeto fired the Librarian of Congress. only took him 6 months to figure out there was a library. All of our contingency action plans need to be activated today and through the weekend to start capturing moment in time information from loc.gov including LCC and LCSH. *#libsky

This article is well worth a read as both a personal story and an explanation of why trans rights matter.

March 31st is the International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV). Trans rights are human rights. Keep politics and religion out of health care. My love to all those that keep fighting.

At some point, perhaps sooner than we think, we will have to decide whether we will continue to accept changes from LCSH/LCNAF to our catalogue, and start doing it ourselves or relying on other vocabularies. #critcat thoughts

To pretend Drumpf's EO to eliminate the IMLS is anything other than an attack on free, informed thought is a delusional. This is an attempt to control all information because they know that information is power. We cannot, and will not, allow it.

Is the Orange Cheeto Poop Man really going to use THIS as his Reichstag moment?? The method by which he takes full control and suspends all civil liberties? America is just going to roll over and let it happen.
