This is 100% true in the legal field and is why it is critical that we reverse course and make room in the curriculum for robust legal research education. You can’t check for errors if you don’t have good legal information literacy skills.

The Library of Congress belongs to Congress and the American people. [Logos: Show up for our libraries - American Library Association]
For 225 years, the Library of Congress has collected America’s stories and kept Congress informed. The American Library Association stands with America’s library.
Please call your representatives about the ongoing attack on THEIR library. This is not a partisan issue; even Republicans should want to defend their own agency.
If anyone knows what is actually going on at LOC/Copyright, I would like to talk with you. Please reach out via Signal — crg.32 — via a nonwork phone.
This may have significant consequences for U.S. copyright policy, as the Librarian supervises the Register of Copyrights. I would pay attention to any maneuvering in the Copyright Office, particularly given its relatively cool attitude toward AI copyrightability and training fair use.
I’m available.
Our group has been hard at work to release a new tool: The Data Rescue Tracker. The tool aims to provide a consolidated overview of who is downloading which dataset from which government websites. Please share! www.datarescueproject.org/data-rescue-...
If you find or put something together I would LOVE to see it; it would be very helpful with our faculty library committee.
