Goldey-Beacom College is a teaching college. Want to teach our students between freemium and paid for #AI tools — if you’re not paying, you’re giving data away for free. And that AI is a choice — they don’t have to use it.

One of the biggest worries students have is putting their own IP into an AI that can train the model on their own data. @rsmichalak.bsky.social #chsconf2025

I’m looking forward to continuing conversations that matter—about equity, access, innovation, and supporting the evolving role of academic libraries.
I’ll be listening, learning, and leading with intention.

Library leaders: Accessibility isn’t a checkbox.
It’s a leadership value.
An equity commitment.
And a long game.
We call for feedback loops, intersectional audits, and accountability—from the front desk to the director’s office.

From virtual meetings to DAMS, instructional design to reference services—ableism can show up in the systems we use and the language we normalize.
Inclusive tech isn’t just about screen readers—it’s about mindset, metadata, and mission.

6/ Gossip is a cultural feedback loop.
It tells us what people are paying attention to—and what’s missing from formal conversations.
Are you listening? 👂

5/ On the flip side, character gossip can also uplift:
“She really listens.”
“He has your back.”
“They’re someone you can trust.”
These comments matter. They help shape our networks, build psychological safety, and support inclusive cultures. 🌱

4/ But not all gossip is kind.
Character-based gossip—especially negative—can erode teams and echo harmful stereotypes.
If your org is buzzing with personal critiques, ask: What’s not being said directly? What’s being allowed to fester?

3/ Informal admiration often precedes formal collaboration.
If you hear good things about someone’s leadership or innovation, say it to them. Invite them to co-present, co-author, or just chat.
It builds trust faster than formal recognition. 🤝

2/ “Did you hear their library rolled out AI tools?”
“I heard they went textbook-free and adopted all OER.”
“That director just secured funding for a community archive.”
These aren’t just rumors—they’re signals. 👀

1/ Gossip gets a bad rap—but what if it isn’t always toxic?
