Come on social justice-loving librarians, we want to celebrate you!!!

Apparently they haven't received any entries for the award yet??

The award is co-sponsored by ALA's SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table) and @libraryjuicepress.bsky.social. Neither the nominee nor the submitter need to be an ALA member.

Two book launch events are scheduled to celebrate the release. Don't miss them!

Today we celebrate the life and work of Joseph Weizenbaum (1923 - 2008), computer scientist and social critic.

We were fortunate to publish an extended interview with Weizenbaum: Islands in the Cyberstream (2015).

In “Against AI: Critical Refusal in the Library,” I examine LIS as in need of a values-realignment, asking readers to refuse the technosolutionism we are so often offered in place of human-centered possibilities, like taking racism, climate change, and labor rights seriously

Lovely to see this little @libraryjuicepress.bsky.social book I contributed to in print! ✨

Commercial platforms are increasingly shaping library operations - my chapter focuses on how crackdowns on crawling & API access limit what is preserved by deposit libraries 🚫
