Automated tools can now produce plausible research papers with minimal effort. Publishers and volunteer archives rely on peer reviewers and software to detect these submissions. As newer models make fewer obvious errors, gatekeepers struggle to keep false scholarship out of the permanent record.

Claudia Frick, Luisa Blumenthal, Henriette Dymke: Claudia Frick, Luisa Blumenthal and Henriette Dymke examine how queer people, topics and perspectives are incorporated into library and information science education in Germany. This area, including the need to develop queer competencies, remains underresearched. Their project investigates current teaching through surveys of students and educators, a practical workshop with library professionals, and an analysis of degree theses. Combining these approaches, the research explores existing educational practices and derives perspectives for more queer-inclusive teaching in the future. The study addresses both representation within academic programmes and the development of competencies relevant to queer inclusion in library and information science education.

Michael Seadle: This German-language article by Michael Seadle reviews the edited collection “Knowledge, Reading and Culture: Studies in Information Practice,” part of the series Current Topics in Library and Information Practice (De Gruyter, 2026). Seadle discusses the volume’s contributions to library and information science, especially how it addresses knowledge creation, reading as an information practice, and the cultural frameworks shaping both. He evaluates the range and quality of the included studies, considering their theoretical grounding, empirical methods, and relevance for practitioners. The review situates the book within ongoing debates on information behavior and the future of library services.

Люди заходили в библиотеки с фальшивыми паспортами, заказывали редкие издания и подменяли их копиями. Книги исчезали из фондов, а спустя месяцы предположительно оказывались на торгах в Москве. Самая масштабная книжная кража в Европе со времен Второй мировой.
