eRLS RFID mythbusting: UHF is too expensive for most libraries

We're miffed about the eRLS myths so we're here to bust 'em!

Some say UHF RFID tech is out of reach for most #libraries due to cost. Pfui! Enquire today & you might be surprised at how affordable our next-gen #library solutions are. 😉 #librarians

What Scrolling Did to Reading Why books feel harder, what the science shows, and how to rebuild the capacity.

How our brains have (sadly) adapted to scrolling--but there is hope....

#reading #librarians #students #books

Many schools have lost funds for new book purchases, and many more don’t have trained #librarians, so students in a lot of underresourced schools see only dated titles on the shelves. (The book banners are a huge problem, don’t get me wrong, but they’re only part of the problem.)

Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them. Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.

Oh well, and this is the awesome #tech that #academia and #HigherEd, including #librarians who should know better, are rushing to embrace.

You want your Librarians to HELP you as you move your novel toward them. Some of them can literally order your book into their library when you publish. Breaking into library purchases is no mean feat. They like to feature local writers on a special table.

Good books are over your head; that’s why they’re good. So reach and pull yourself up to their level.

Skepticism and Curiosity in the Age of AI with Marc Watkins Marc Watkins shares about cultivating skepticism and curiosity in an age of AI on Episode 613 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

This was a very interesting and thought provoking episode of the @tihe.bsky.social podcast. I can totally see #Librarians having conversations with faculty about some of the topics discussed in this episode. Worth the listen. 📚

In 1968, during a frenzied May Day Revival, fifteen-year-old Eleanor Pratchett was drowned in Dolton Creek under the hand of a zealot preacher and the watch of a town consumed. A handful resisted. Most did not.
