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.

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America And what happens when empirical fact is labeled β€œimproper ideology”

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is β€œdivisive” and pedaling β€œimproper 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.

Our first day is tomorrow and the holiday + a long meeeting this morning are making it very hard for me concentrate on top of the general brain fog/trying to avoid media

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😞

Possibly. It's an ACRL edition and we've done our final chapter submissions but might get some copy edits from the ACRL editors.

I thought the same thing when I saw the Constellate announcement. Also, my co-writer and I were sad to see the HTRC announcement because publshing takes forever and we have a TDM book chapter all about HTRC coming out next year

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

Two tabby kittens, one long and one short hair, curled up together against a white stuffed unicorn, on a bed sheet with pink unicorns and rainbows.

Does your day need more unicorns and kittens? Because I've got some handy.

The response to this @quinnanya.me / @elikaortega.bsky.social print was so positive I’m printing one more run in white on blue, inspired by the blue screen of death. If you want to order 1 send a note w/info to skeuomorph-press@illinois.edu & we’ll figure out how to collect donations & ship in Nov.

After my undergrad English program started a DH minor they saw a quick increase in students going straight into MLIS programs. I think there is defnitely at DH to LIS pipeline

Access to some non-print legal deposit material by September, but still not the UK Web Archive. It’s pretty disastrous for people working on born-digital archives in the UK, and my heart goes out to the web archiving team.

Small victories in library land: We had one position change and one hire for social media and content creation in our library and I love canva, but I am so happy to have graphic design support for my events and workshops now! This new graphic for my DH workshops has honestly made my day

New College of Florida tosses hundreds of library books, empties gender diversity library A dumpster in the parking lot of Jane Bancroft Cook Library on the campus of New College overflowed with books from the Gender and Diversity Center.
