People who insist on double spaces after periods in text are the bane of my existence. STOP DOING THAT.

The plot thickens! As folks review the final version, "reads like AI" and "needs polishing" have been invoked by someone who is now offering substantial edits and comments that would have been helpful oh, 2 months ago.

‘Nobody answers’: The unraveling of a patient care research agency A small federal agency responsible for studying how health care works for patients is largely dormant despite receiving millions of dollars from Congress for research into antibiotic resistance, healt...

This is heartbreaking and infuriating. AHRQ does such important, vital work. My #medlibs introduction to #EvidenceSynthesis is directly tied to AHRQ - specifically the Evidence-based Practice Centers they funded.

i don't want to live through one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World

Those KSAs are wildly applicable in non-library positions - many of which pay better, too. And sure, there's unpaid, invisible labor in other jobs, but not near as much as there is in libraries, in my experience. Workload is lighter, pay is better too.

When I stepped away from working in a library, I realized how varied and specialized the skill set I have from that experience. Anyone in a library position develops a wide range of knowledge, skills, and abilities out of necessity. That's rarer than you might think outside of libraryland.

I've been thinking about this lately, esp. as it applies to burnout. When you add in all the unpaid labor libraryland requires to function, the salaries become even more egregious. And don't get me started on the specialized skill set needed for library work - looking at you, #medlibs.

You think they will have documents displayed in bathrooms?

Reading inserted comments in a work document with a lot of collaborators is more entertaining than it should be. You can see the pettiness just seeping out. No amount of emojis can save some async interactions.

Reading this article and watching these videos are so rage inducing. That these boys dictated what projects were rejected is sickening.

I just had to monitor my facial expression for 90 minutes so now i need my blank wall time ok

#medlibs and others in #libraries or library-adjacent spaces: If you haven't encountered cardcatalogforlife.substack.com, there's some really thoughtful discussions around AI, information literacy, and how to think about our interactions with information. Good stuff.

This. I can't pinpoint exactly when it changed, but it's fairly recent/only been a few years. I want to say they added the APA too. Or at least it was mostly referred to as just PsycINFO/PsycInfo.

For any #medlibs who might need some encouragement

omg I bawl my eyes out, even on rereads. I don't know if I'll emotionally handle season 2 of the tv show if it follows The Long Game.

Also, I had to explain Heated Rivalry to my therapist recently, she didn't know about it. Yours seems more tapped in.

ngl, that's a really cool flex. Which book are you on? 🙂

THANK YOU! I thought the same thing.

May her name forever be spoken in remembrance for all she shared in this life.

Yes, it's the worst.

Friends, if you were waiting to check in on a bud, but keep delaying: do not delay, check in. Tell your friends you love and care about them, and if you’re thinking: I should reach out.

REACH OUT.

I swear, the hardest part of any job that I've had is the annual performance review and setting goals.

Very cool! The visuals really tell a story.

Yeah, that's weird. It is my understanding that the old MeSH term should map to/be replaced by the new one. I could be wrong though... any other #medlibs have ideas? I would contact the help desk about what you found and ask what is happening.

Why some hospitals are making their own ChatGPTs for patient records Some large health systems are building their own AI-powered chatbots to make it easier for their clinicians to query patients' health records.

Feb 2010 in Nashville, I drove through snow to take a friend that had abdominal pain to the ER. Next day, the melt refroze into black ice. I slipped on it while taking out the trash, ended up at the same ER with 3 fractures - dominant side shoulder, both wrists. Huge mess. Winter weather is no joke.

When two years of academic work vanished with a single click After turning off ChatGPT’s ‘data consent’ option, Marcel Bucher lost the work behind grant applications, teaching materials and publication drafts. Here’s what happened next.

"If a single click can irrevocably delete years of work, ChatGPT cannot, in my opinion and on the basis of my experience, be considered completely safe for professional use."

well, duh 🙄 #medlibs

I'll send you the files and documentation of what I did. 🙂

So there you go - some new MeSH descriptors, some changes to old, and a lot less shenanigans than I feared. Thanks for joining me on this nerdy medical taxonomy journey.
