Classification as Colonization: Hidden Politics of #Library #Catalogs Mike Olson discusses why, how library catalogs have always been battlegrounds where content is not merely described but debated.Trump’s 1/20/25 EO directing renaming of longstanding geo designations “Mount Denali” & “Gulf of Mexico” to politically loaded “Mount McKinley” & “Gulf of America” reveal the naked truth of what #cataloging has always been: a battlefield where meaning is contested and conquered https://www.llrx.com/2025/04/classification-as-colonization-the-hidden-politics-of-library-catalogs/
#AIGenerated Slop Is Already In Your #PublicLibrary. Low quality #books that appear to be #AIgenerated are making their way into public libraries via their #digital #catalogs, forcing #librarians who are already understaffed to either sort through a functionally infinite number of books to determine what is written by #humans and what is generated by AI, or to spend taxpayer dollars to provide patrons with information they don’t realize is AI-generated. https://www.bespacific.com/ai-generated-slop-is-already-in-your-public-library/#education #learning

Claim:
#Sears' #mailorder #catalogs from the 1950s and 1960s offered #dogs, #ponies, #monkeys, and other #animals for purchase.
Rating:
True
Sears offered #liveanimals through its mail-order catalogs from 1956 to 1964. However, versions of those catalogs — possibly including an alleged 1956 Sears Christmas book featured in popular #TikTok videos — did not include animals for sale.

#loompanics unlimited was a very interesting #bookseller selling #books , many of which would get you in a trouble - back in the day possibly, in these days almost certainly.
However, their #Catalogs contained a lot of great #writing . #goldenrecords is one of three (if I remember correctly...or four in total?) #compilations of these #articles . And even when outdated, still entertaining.
Recommended for the inner #rebel in you.

Digging into some typewriter pricing history, I found a copy of the 1949 Sears Spring/Summer Catalog, which lists a version of my (Sears SKU: 3 NM 4584T with Pica Type) for $95.08 on page 285.
Converting 1949 dollars to 2024 using an inflation calculator indicates this is now worth $1,247.75. Considering that I got it for less than the original sale price in 2024 (including shipping) and that it works as well now as it did then, I feel like I got a pretty solid deal.
For comparison the competing portable models in the catalog included:
- Royal Arrow $84.48
- Smith-Corona Sterling $89.57
- Remington Portable $84.27
- Remington Portable with Tabulator $89.57
- Underwood Leader $63.40
They also listed the Tower, a standard size desk typewriter, for $99.00 saying it was just a few dollars more than the portables.
For further comparison, the prior year, the , was listed for $76.85. Adjusted for inflation this would be $995.96.
