What an inspiring and powerful talk. About vulnerability, creating change by teaching librarians who will then go and teach others, and this! “My first ‘aha’ was her. My whole life changed in that moment.” #LILAC26 #Collaboration #KnowledgeJustice #InformationLiteracy #Librarians

UCLA librarians (shout to my alma mater!) currently presenting the ‘inevitability rhetoric’ and hype cycle around AI. In my circles I do notice the *perception* that pro-critical engagement with AI is a blanket pro-AI stance. Which it is not. #LILAC26 #InformationLiteracy #AILiteracy #Librarians

Speculative thinking meets #InformationLiteracy, yes we have only scratched the surface! Thanks to all who participated in our workshop today on Future Literacies. #LILAC26
As someone who loves methods chat, I’m really enjoying considering how speculative thinking can be used for information literacy research in @cocolibrarian.bsky.social and @heatherlincoln.bsky.social ‘s workshop! #lilac26

This was by far my favourite talk at @hayfestival.bsky.social, even with the speaker joining remotely. A heart-stopping story presented with an authentic and engaging voice. Now I have to read all of his #books. #Care #Writers #Disability

As an expat from the U.S., I miss #semicolons; I notice they are not used as much in the UK. Test your knowledge here on how to properly use them - if you dare!! #grammar #punctuation #Librarians www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I'll never be a zeitgeisty, politically-minded social media poster- but firing Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress, is egregious, outrageous and SO WRONG. What will get axed next, the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social Library Bill of Rights?? #Libraries #Librarians #Censorship www.ala.org/advocacy/int...

If you were fired up after hearing @elinorcarmi.bsky.social’s keynote about the nefarious #TechBros at #LILAC25, you will want to read this piece in @theguardian.com / Observer by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social about the ‘broligarchy’. #CriticalThinking #Librarians #Technology #DataLiteracy

A certain company now offers a #GenAI for older adults tutorial. Reminds me of when I worked in a #BayArea #PublicLibrary and old folks would come in with brand-new iPads that their grown Silicon Valley kids had bought for them, with no clue how to even turn them on... #Librarians #DigitalLiteracy
