Great keynote from Toma yesterday morning at #CoLIS2025. I resonated with many of the arguments he was making.

Hi everyone, I've created a Signal chat group for anyone working in resource sharing in Australasia. My hope is that we can support each other in our rather niche corner of the library industry and engage in discussions, tips, tricks, news, and anything else.
Please share this with anyone you know who might be interested. Thank you!

A hot topic in #GLAMR -- and this paper makes a good fist of understanding AI's limitations. Large differentials between #ChatGPT, and #CoPilot / #Gemini.
"this [study] underscores the continued importance of human labor in subject #cataloging work [...] #AI tools may prove more valuable in assisting catalogers especially in subject heading assignment, but continued testing & assessment will be needed..."

Useful contribution to discussions in this area, for sure! The results highlight "whether an automated approach that would still require micromanaging and adjusting several variables by the human researcher would, in fact, be more efficient an approach compared to the same tasks performed manually by human labour"

Hey #GLAMR & #DigitalHumanities folks! I'm looking for real-world examples of data transformations that you've done (or attempted) in #OpenRefine that:
- Involved extremely hairy GREL expressions that were hard to figure out; or
- That you just couldn't work out how to do
I'm writing a self-study course on using #Python in OpenRefine and I have a good idea of what I want to cover but would like lots of practical examples to make it real for people.
Second weekend in a row that I get a #GLAMR-adjacent sticker in the mail. This one's from @johnnydecimal who teaches us how to apply decimal-based #classification to our whole life.

Excellent piece about the importance of #museums as sites of #cultural and #sociological significance, and how they are sites of #research by @ANUResearch's Professor #KylieMessage.
If we let our cultural institutions wither and die, we are eroding research #infrastructure.
One for the #GLAM #GLAMR folks.

New year, new #introduction. #GenX born in #Singapore and living on #Wurundjeri #Woiwurrung country. I'm a former #webdev and #data nerd, now an #archives and #GLAMR nerd and professional #queer. Thanks to lockdown I've started turning into a #synth and #ComputerMusic nerd as well.
I CW and appreciate CWs on posts related to or depicting gore, violence, animal cruelty, meat, alcohol, mental health or illness, and body image.
I block and mute fascists, TERFs, and reply guys (not an exhaustive list), and filter or CW them from my timeline.
