I'm angry about this and want to shout, but I don't know very many folks who care to hear me shout about accessibility IRL. So I'm shouting on social media. We don't know the outcome, but I'm still shouty. So.

My colleagues at ACRLog wrote short tributes to the life and work of Fobazi Ettarh @fobettarh.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy. I wrote about her work on disability, which I think deserves more recognition. acrlog.org/2026/03/04/t...
Thanks @ezerrenner.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy for coordinating. #CripLib #VocationalAwe

Open Letter to CRL from the academic wing of #CripLib - ACRLog

The academic wing of #criplib has written a response to the "DEI training violates privacy of thought" C&RL piece: https://acrlog.org/2025/05/27/open-letter-to-crl-from-the-academic-wing-of-criplib/
“Even if your employer does not see your responses, these ninety-six questions are presumptuous and invasive. Asking about a person’s thoughts in this way violates privacy of thought…” (p. 435).
"Is learning something new or considering new approaches an invasive violation of privacy? It seems absurd on its face." 💯
So remember that “research” article posted in CR&L about how DEI was a privacy violation? Well now there’s an actually well-researched letter about all the research failings of that article from the academic portion of #CripLib: https://acrlog.org/2025/05/27/open-letter-to-crl-from-the-academic-wing-of-criplib/

Hiring Librarians Podcast S02 E12: Jay
Oh hey, it’s the twelfth episode of season two!
This episode my guest is Jay, who you may know from the Library Punk podcast. If you haven’t listened to it, it’s a leftist podcast, and I find it fun, interesting, and opinionated. I did an episode back in October. While I was there, Jay mentioned that he had recently transitioned from his role as the director of a small academic library to a role in the cataloging department of a public library system. I thought that would be an interesting journey to talk about, so (six months later) here we are. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
An AI-generated and not completely error free transcript is here.
Speaking of links, in this episode we talk about:
This podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube music and other various podcasting sites (let me know if you can’t find it on your preferred platform).
I’d love to hear your requests or other feedback for moving forward. And please do reach out if you want to be a guest!
