We are delighted to see a blog post by Lorraine Estelle on the IFLA blog about the important work that TCS does in helping authors avoid questionable journals and books:

📈 Using a case study of Florida State University #Libraries, this CNI presentation explores the strategic role that #AcademicLibrarians can play in enhancing #UniversityRankings by leveraging their expertise in #ScholarlyPublishing, bibliometrics, and research infrastructure. #HigherEd https://youtu.be/fZyMW1cxBLg

‪It’s out!!! I’m so excited to see the LibParlor Online Learning curriculum about #librarianresearch finally out! I’ve been looking forward to this. I think it leans towards #academiclibrarians and #libraryschool students, but it seems pretty good for for all current and future library workers https://libparlor.com/lpol-curriculum/

We Here's (@wehere) new course will study a snapshot of the histories of academic librarians, focusing on the 1950s–1970s towards asking what is the professionalization of librarianship, and why did it happen? For who did it happen? How does it affect today's profession?

Calling out into the ether of Mastodon to see if any academic librarians have had good experiences using LibWizard Tutorials in their instruction🔮

Shouldn’t be thinking about work on a day off, but… I’m curious if any of the #librarians on here have any on-boarding software/apps/ solutions they’d recommend?

@failedLyndonLaRouchite So hence why I was asking - maybe I should tag #librarians and #AcademicLibrarians - is there a meta index somewhere of all of the archives of things (digital or not) that have public or restricted public access?

AI marks the next chapter for college librarians https://www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-innovation/libraries/2023/11/03/ai-marks-next-chapter-college-librarians #AI #libraries #academicLibrarians

I am stunned that a candidate in an interview decided to download, wholesale, a .ppt from a major database vendor and then present it as part of their teaching demonstration during the interview as if it was their own without telling the committee where it had come from. Absolutely flabbergasted. Do. Not. Do. This. Ever. By all means, share your discovery that those teaching aids exist, but do not pretend as if it's your own during an interview. #AcademicLibraries #AcademicLibrarians

AI?

‘there’s an opportunity for librarians here. Our training and experience puts us in a good position to deal with an increasingly more complex information environment.’

Do we need librarians now that we have ChatGPT?

Oooo this #mlasla23 session on creating a research culture in #medlibs actually aligns with my research findings on research experiences of #AcademicLibrarians too! Recommends starting small, collaborating, and studying something relevant to you or your job. Also, admin support is essential- unfounded research mandates don’t work. Session presenter @hannahfnorton@twitter.com was great! (note: for some reason the “describe photo” button on the pics isn’t working, I’m sure it’s user fail, sorry!)

https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-librarians-are-not-ok “I have come to think of #academiclibrarians as akin to the engineers who maintain the electrical grid. Without them, many university systems would go dark.” #librarians

@somcak @owlislost @philip_cardella From a #publiclibrary viewpoint, ILLs make it so much easier to read all of an author’s publications or to gleefully dive into a personal interest. Thank you, #AcademicLibrarians , for teaching people to use ILL services. #LifeLongLearning

@Julie I hope we can migrate here! Would love to see all #librarians here #schoollibrarians #academiclibrarians here

TIme for a re #introduction. I'm an academic librarian and information literacy researcher with a PhD in update NY. My research interests include #informationliteracy #libraries #academiclibrarians and #socialpractices. I look forward with connecting with y'all!

Daaaamn, this really hit home. I've been feeling this for a few years, but yes. And yes. And more yesses. #AcademicLibrarians, I know we're feeling this so hard lately.
