Hello, GHC leadership, I’m very sorry I had to leave the Annual Meeting early; I know doing so is disruptive and rather rude.

So yesterday I gave the second iteration of my talk about privacy and surveillance in and around libraries.

I’m teaching a new-to-me course this fall under a topics number, “What Is Information Science?”

Copied from my intro course.

I have been having a time of it in the Opposing the Bullshit Machines space lately.

I am frustrated by credulous librarian discourse about AI, and I just made my frustration IFLA’s problem.

Early fall 2023, I got an email from a campus official informing me that one of my students had been enrolled in a pilot learning-analytics project called LAVA.

After three rounds of peer review, one rejection, and many hours of revisions and fixes (pro tip: if you have an appendix full of citations, keep it in a separate document from your main paper so Zotero doesn’t leave stuff out of your Works Cited section),

Libraries across the Universities of Wisconsin rolled out a new remember-what-you-checked-out service today.

I was digging through past eras of my digital life for files old enough to be interesting to run through the file-format-identification tool DROID, in service of an assignment I’m building for Digital Curation and Collections.
