TIL my library has a combo VCR/Blu-Ray player. I know these technologies existed simultaneously for like a decade, but it never occurred to me that companies smashed them together

Baker & Taylor appears to be shutting down. A post on the r/libraries subreddit from an employee of B&T breaks the news and there appear to be other employees in the comments confirming the situation.

UWF's conservative makeover: DeSantis-linked firm at center of sudden ouster of top lawyer The leadership shakeups are part of a broader push by DeSantis and the Republican-led Legislature to steer Florida’s 12 public universities in a more conservative direction

And yes, general counsel was dismissed over objections to shady dealings: www.wusf.org/education/20...

When they *had* someone filling FOIA requests, they did everything they could to slow/stop requests being filled. I haven't seen coverage of this vacancy, but they are clearly trying to hide shady dealings from public scrutiny

'We are not tolerating indoctrination camps': DeSantis vows conservative overhaul of UWF ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. -- Gov. Ron DeSantis renewed his attacks on the university calling it an "indoctrination camp" with "Marxist professors."

So here we are, nearly 6 months after this weartv.com/news/local/w... & UWF has ousted their general counsel as well as the staff member filling their FOIA requests.

Fun fact: my first library job was in John C. Pace Library's government documents department, which cemented my passion for public service in higher education & access to public information

My bachelor's is from the University of West Florida, which is DeSantis' next conservative college of choice.

American Library Association poster text reads: 
Library Work: 
The Profession on Which All Other Professions and Occupations Depend; 
The library serves: 
teacher, minister, doctor, lawyer, engineer, merchant, artisan, social worker, student, home-maker; 
It offers: 
culture, information, recreation; 
Library work puts the librarian in touch with every human interest. 
A challenging field to the college graduate
