#librarythinktank #alatt #askltt What are your thoughts on the intersections between OER and libraries? Do they have a place outside academia?

If you'll allow the acct admin a book review...

I didn't think books like this needed to exist in the 21st century!

An incisive, authentic YA book that examines unfortunately-still-germane issues #librarysky #skybrary #alatt #librarythinktank #skybrarians

r/fednews Join u/ruskiytroll • 2h ago DOGE is at the Institue of Museum and Library Services right now, AM 03/20, to shut down the agency The Institute of Museum and Library Services is being raided by DOGE and the new Acting Director (also somehow DepSec of Labor) Keith Sonderling with the express intent to shut it down. Sonderling was sworn-in in the lobby of the office building (955 L'Enfant Plaza) and they are proceeding with quickly and quietly dismantling the agency. There is no major reporting on the death of IMLS. There are Deparment of Homeland Security personnel present - to bully a bunch of civil servants who administer grants to museums and libraries. IMLS offices are on the 4th floor of 955 L'Enfant. There is no media present to document this efficiency saving of .004% of the federal budget. Every library system in the country receives these grants. Museums in every state depend on them. Every penny disbursed is American tax dollars back in American communities. This is one of the 7 federal agencies offered up as a needless sacrificial lamb in the catastrophic resolution and last week's EO.

Since this account appears to be the new hub for the LTT:

?s to group, use #askLTT

Use #librarythinktank, #ALATT, #skybrary, #librarysky, #skybrarians

We are not officially associated with the ALA, but this think tank was created from a discussion at one of their conferences.

It appears something may have happened to the Library Think Tank FB group, but rest assured we are still here! It is probably a glitch. #alatt #askltt #librarythinktank

Hello all! What questions or discussions would you like to talk with the Think Tank about today? We like to repost prominent discussions of library issues and trends, but we also want to engage on our own merits as well. #alatt #skybrary #librarysky #skybrarian #librarythinktank #skybrarians #askLTT

3. The responsibility of a #library is NOT to buy every book on a topic, or every book their patrons want. The responsibility of the library is to facilitate their patrons having an informed opinion on whatever topics they want. #skybrary #librarysky #infolit #alatt

There is also another aspect of library work that necessitates removing materials: #weeding (part curation, part removing old editions or unused works). #librarysky #skybrary #alatt

#Censorship is obscuring or obliterating certain works or topics because they are disapproved by the majority of a population or people in power. #librarysky #skybrary #alatt

There is a MASSIVE difference between curation and censorship. The former is selecting materials for collections and exhibits that support a wide range of perspectives on particular topics or issues. #curation #library #collectiondevelopment #librarysky #alatt

Book banning takes many forms, from #bans on specific books, to challenging (which, some argue, should not be considered banning) to establishing legal penalties for performing #librarian tasks in a category or categories of topics, which may be determined by people in the moment. #librarysky #alatt

I just had a phenomenal time discussing Custom AI Tools and LibraryRobot.org with the British Columbia Library Association!

We focused on #CustomGPTs but also talked about other AI tools you can customize. #skybrary #librarysky #alatt #librarythinktank

A PSA: Your graduate course on "Org of Info" is PROBABLY what interviewers or recruiters are calling "cataloging" courses. I failed two interviews because I did not realize that that was what they were talking about. I was rambling about "metadata" and "schemata." #skybrary #alatt #librarysky

"One of the most common critiques of the library, which is completely unwarranted, is that since the Internet exists, libraries are going to be obsolete in the near future. Nothing could be more false."
