I'm also up for election as a union representative to a campus senate committee. That election ends Friday. If I end up getting it, I'll bow out of the HOA board election because
1. the incumbents are fine and
2. omg senate committees are a fair bit of work
I did expect to know "by Tuesday the 28th" if the HOA board incumbents were running, but maybe "by Tuesday" doesn't mean what I think it means /s grumble our property management is bad at doing what they say they'll do

I've tried some of these searches using my library's Primo Research Assistant and can confirm this behavior. I feel pretty good about not enabling PRA on the main library interface--it's only on in the test interface. #primo #chatbots #academiclibrarian

Just pre-ordered a copy of "Censorship is a Drag: LGBTQ Materials and Programming Under Siege in Libraries". It looks like an interesting and relevant read.

Time to for an #introduction from my new account. I'm a #gay #married guy with #XLH and living in #RochesterNY. We have three cats and I work as a #AcademicLibrarian at a local #SUNY. This is my personal account so most posts will be shared with followers only. My hobbies include #scuba #travel and hanging out with #friends.

Add "ChatGPT Forensics" to the list of librarian skills that we weren't taught in library school. 😂 #ChatGPT #AcademicLibrarian

@hye @erinnacland @eikofried @academicchatter it is worth also getting any #AcademicLibrarian groups you are aware of formally involved. They are often leading on other areas and putting pressure on publishers. (For example, the #EBookSOS campaign (https://academicebookinvestigation.org) @heroicendeavour is here and is one of the people involved in that one!
