What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Digital resources, particularly eBooks and audiobooks, are going to bankrupt libraries if something isn't done to halt the extortionary pricing models of publishers.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Text Analysis tools used to be one of my favorite DH things. Now with experiences of programs failing right when I need them and HTRC and Constellate sunsetting, I'm starting to thinking that hard coding is the more sustainable option. However, that doesn't even account for the copyright issues😞

I wonder if companies and publishers do any kind of user surveys before they make these AI deals and tools. Probably not, but I wonder if this is just a case of thinking the people want AI when we really don't
