Are there any profs or librarians with access to the B1G Academic Alliance Geoportal that can confirm whether a digital copy of the 1927 Amherst, Va Sanborn Fire Insurance map is in the collection?
The search results suggest perhaps so - and the map is fully in the public domain now (per the LOC) - but I can't seem to find a digital copy. LOC hasn't scanned it yet.

Please share if you know someone with insights.

Censorship and the Role of Librarians in the Fight for Democracy
Last month, U.S. librarian Amanda Jones delivered a keynote to the Libraries Connected annual symposium in the U.K., where she spoke about the importance of defending the freedom to read. "When we allow political groups to pull books that feature marginalized characters, we are not just removing ink and paper. We are sending a clear, devastating message to students that their stories, their identities, and their very lives do not matter," Jones said. "We cannot, and we will not, abide by that."

These #Maine #librarians are helping patrons resist #AI and #BigTech
by Bridget Huber, July 2, 2026
"In recent months, the #SearsmontME Town Library has added a new service for patrons: Help in removing AI from their phones and other devices.
" 'A lot of times, it’s just telling people that they have choices,' Library Director #StevenBrown said. 'Their phone came a certain way, but they don’t have to use it the way that it came.'
"Brown helps patrons disable AI-powered assistants like Siri or so-called smart features in email and switch from using Google, which doesn’t offer an option to search without AI overviews, to a browser that does.
"A big part of his job as a librarian has been helping people with information technology, he said. He sees helping people think critically about technology and AI as a natural extension of this work.
"While Brown’s long been skeptical of the purported benefits of technology for society, he didn’t start offering the #AIRemoval services until this spring, when he attended a webinar presented by #HannahCyrus, a #BangorME librarian who has become a leading voice in a nationwide movement of librarians who are working to help patrons understand the risks of AI and other technologies.
" 'I seem to have become the face of #AIHaters — which I’m fine with — in the library world,' Cyrus said.
"Cyrus, a reference librarian at the Bangor Public Library, teaches classes on how to use technology. But that doesn’t mean uncritically embracing and promoting it, she said.
" 'I really try to make sure people not only know where to tap or click to get done what they want to do, but to understand the values and issues at play as they’re using different pieces of technology,' she said.
"Commonly used tools like Gmail and Chat GPT are not neutral, she said. 'These are products created by giant #corporations who want your information and want your attention,' she said. “And that has real impacts on our lives.”
"The most popular class Cyrus has taught is called #AvoidingAI, which explains what #GenerativeAI is, some of the concerns around it, and how to disable it and find alternatives. The first time she taught the class in fall of 2025 more than 70 people enrolled. She taught it again this spring, and Brown was one of 20 Maine librarians to enroll. "

A quotation from Kurt Vonnegut
And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.
So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) American novelist, journalist

Penguin Random House Urges U.S. Congress to Reject Republican Book Banning Bill
"The bill creates strong incentives for schools to remove or avoid a wide range of books and materials," wrote PRH SVP Skip Dye in a letter to lawmakers, adding that, if passed, the law would also force educators and librarians to self-censor, resulting in "further marginalization of vulnerable communities.”

Calling #mapstodon !!! Also #librarians and #archivists !!!
I used a lot of old maps in my work for York Library and Archive, which I'm proud to say are on permanent display.
But I'm running out of maps!
If anyone has any old sheet maps (see pic for examples) - not the folded retail sort - that need a new home, please could i have them?!?!
I would love to make you something from them in return, if you'd like.
Thank you!!!#maps #cartography #librariansofmastodon #oldMaps #archivistodon
