Cover an academic journal, colors are red and white. The title reads Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America. Some wood letterpress type of the letters A through I are locked up in a forme as the cover image.

Just a reminder for all the folks who are teaching classes/seminars with material texts at heart (or advising groups of grad students in that area), I'm happy to zoom in to talk about PBSA, what bibliography can mean to us, & what submitting to PBSA entails. www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/pbsa/cur...

Screenshot from article linked in the post highlighting the text In 2025 the American Association of School Librarians will commemorate its 75th anniversary. A year later ALA and Library Journal will commemorate their 150th. If librarianship’s organizations, institutions, media, and professional associations do not break out of their information silo, if they do not shine some light on the profession’s darkest places, the celebrations they are now planning will turn into the same kinds of “happy history” nostalgia events that have marked so many of its previous anniversaries. As a result, librarianship will learn nothing from them and a profession populated with self-professed “information specialists” will continue to blindly pass on historical misinformation.

"If librarianship’s organizations, institutions, media, and professional associations do not break out of their information silo... [they] will learn nothing from them ... will continue to blindly pass on historical misinformation."

sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!

EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

In addition to the damage done to science advancement, people have no idea how much universities pump into the economies in the areas around them. Hurt the universities and everyone will hurt.
