I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

New Fair Library Jobs blog post! On those low paid jobs it's difficult to call out, complexities around pay, the bleakness of the sector, and what you can do about it (spoiler: nag CILIP to Do Better and #JoinAUnion) sites.google.com/view/fairlib...

Alan Carr on #TheTraitors is rapidly becoming my favourite contestant across all series. He’s having the most stressful time and it is superb tv.

Manchester is also full of spectacular street art so I very much enjoyed snapping some pics between conference activities.

Now en route home from a fantastic #icepops25 As the lone copyright officer in my institution, I benefit so much from the copyseek community and always come away with a ton of ideas. Plus the John Rylands library is a beautiful place to get to explore.

AJP Taylor: not a referencing guy

Extract from Taylor’s Course of German History:

“It will be apparent. no doubt, to the reader that I have written this book by lifting facts from a great many other books and, from a few, even ideas.
The American method, in such cases, is to list all the books that have been pilfered; I prefer the English method of mentioning none. If the reader does not accept my credentials, he will not be induced to do so by a display of the sources from which my plumes are borrowed.”

Is it truly a work conference day if you don’t end up stranded due to cancelled trains? (Good grief I’m glad I opted for an early start for this one)

Since this was described as an official statement from their communications department, I am sharing it here. It is, imo, the standard every publisher should be meeting immediately. I'm grateful to our team at Tor for being so on top of this. (And also Montlake who registered everything.)

We are writing to provide an update regarding copyright registration concerns in connection with the Anthropic class action settlement.

As you may have heard, the settlement agreement for the Bartz v. Anthropic case has been filed for preliminary approval. The Association of American Publishers (AAP) has prepared a detailed press release available here and a list of FAQs available here.

In reviewing our records, we discovered that U.S. copyright registration has not been obtained for some of our authors’ works. From what we currently understand, this was largely our mistake and we take full responsibility. If your work was excluded from the settlement for this reason, we will make you whole by paying you what you otherwise would have been paid under the settlement.

We are also taking corrective action. Our team is conducting a thorough review to identify affected works and close any registration gaps. While this issue is understandably concerning, we want to reassure you that your work has always been protected by U.S. copyright law from the moment of its creation. Registration has implications in the context of lawsuits, but not for the fact of protection.

We regret this error and are committed to making it right. Please reach out to copyrights@macmillan.com with any questions.

Update: we just received a statement from Macmillan/Tor taking full responsibility for failing to register copyright, promising to make us whole and pay us any settlement money we lost out on due to that error, and promising to find & correct the lapses that caused this. Every pub should do this.

More useful info on the Anthropic lawsuit: this is one of the cases that in my opinion was likely to determine the future of AI, so well worth following

I’m seeing reports that they have settled at $3,000 per work, and if so, I need to see the settlement amount
