Everyone who wants to push generative AI in teaching because it allegedly speeds up the learning process, should be forced to eat microwaved steak for a year. Time is often what ensures a good outcome, especially in teaching.

For S5E3 of the WPHP Monthly Mercury, join us as we interview @meganpeiser.bsky.social and @embrarian.bsky.social about their work on the Hicks Collection. This episode has it all—a badass woman book collector, a Boston marriage, and even a heist (!!!): womensprinthistoryproject.com/blog/post/143

Found some radical pubs misfiled as “fliers” in the university archives, including a significant number of feminist/pro-abortion newsletters and manifestos!

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

“There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real human artists.”

The problem with slightly veiled right-wing censorship like this is that people who are into civil disobedience can flood it with fake (and possibly hilarious) reports.

Friends! Can someone recommend a librarian at the Schlesinger Library? I have a question about their 1970s participation in the History of Women microform project. I’ll submit a query through their webform, but a personal contact would be awesome! Thank you!

Anyone have access to Irish Women Poets of the Romantic Period (Alexander Street Press // Proquest) via their library? I’d pay for your troubles with a watercolor painting!

If you use your British Library password elsewhere, now would be a good time to stop doing that.

I know we all thought we knew what a hermeneutics of suspicion is, but what if it's actually paranoia that every paper we read was AI generated and what if we fucking hate being here.

Looking for libraries whose holdings aren’t in OCLC who might have an early 19C edition of essays by a woman connected to British Congregationalists. Thoughts?

So my survey got attacked by some bots, and now I've lost 50% of my data. Please help me get to 1,000 real humans who actually meet my survey criteria? This sad PhD candidate thanks you in advance.
