Learned a new word today while doing research for a patron: "commensality"

You can actually avoid AI completely and your work won't suffer a wink, believe it or not

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Has anyone taught Business Source Complete (or Ultimate) to their medical/clinical audience? if so, how did you approach it? I may or may not use it in combination with the healthcare administration database #medlibs

If only we could post short PubPeer comments, "I don't think that word means what you think it means"

Just how to answer foreground or background questions without using AI. So I'm happy for either POC or searching resources. Maybe it's more of a library tools 101 for clinicians

That scene in S2 E1 of The Pitt where the patient is hitting on Mel and she's totally oblivious is extremely ace coded. I think every acespec person has had an experience like that. I'm sure this isn't what the show is going for, bc no one ever does acespec characters, but I'm head canoning it.

Does anyone have a Library 101/Library Tools for clinicians/healthcare providers class that they are willing to share the materials for? #medlibs

How about the health effects of aliens and government conspiracies? As in, they were suffering ill effects due to these causes. This is, of course, the abbreviated version of their question

When an article only exists in Web of Science but not anywhere else: The efficacy and safety of stair step protocol of clomiphene citrate and letrozole in ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): randomized controlled clinical trial (www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/fu...)

How does it feel to be so cool and smart to make something like this? It's such a great tool! (I know this could be read sarcastically but I mean it genuinely)

Just saw some of the posts you’re referring to on LinkedIn. Just appalled

My not so nice opinion of people who want to use AI for everything is "why do it at all then if you won't put original thought and any effort into it?"

So cute, I love this! Took me a little too long to read the "I live to do lit searching". Not your fault, it's just a Monday lol

Just learned that EndNote Click (fka Kopernio) no longer works on Firefox! Why didn't any one tell me sooner?!

I'm in that stage of a new job where I observe a lot and do little, so it was fun to spend some times looking for these!

Whenever I feel really tired at work and can't pinpoint why, I soberly remember it's because we are expending so much energy on trying to live "normally" in abnormal times.

Are we talking more or less complex than the definitions here: www.nnlm.gov/guides/data-... ?

I was able to find most of what it mentioned. But a couple linked to PMIDs that didn't exist.

I read through the ones I'm interested in. I print out the ones I want to keep and reference. I feel like I retain info better if I read things on paper! I might create a living presentation on the clinical use/AI alert I have, but I don't know if I have capacity right now
