The MLA, @acls1919.bsky.social, and @historians.org have filed a motion for summary judgment in our lawsuit to restore the NEH. Discovery documents reveal that DOGE rather than the acting chair led grant terminations and targeted grants using ChatGPT. More at mla.org/NEH-Lawsuit

As our program officer for Histories of the National Mall, he wanted to know all of the intellectual and technical decisions, affordances & challenges of designing mobile-first public history projects. A few years later, I had the privilege of becoming his colleague. He will be missed by many.

Librarians: Are students and researchers are still using your amazing LibGuides to learn digital tools and approaches to research? Or are they turning to ChatGPT or Claude instead?
And then need your assistance?
