Struggling to get back in the swing of work today! Just do not wanna. Luckily a patron needs some one on one help with database searching this afternoon so that ought to help kick me into gear

Ran into a baffling thing today. Our statewide ILL system uses Encore for its online catalog, and if you have a title that includes a boolean term, such as the word not, it automatically recognizes it as a boolean command (even if you didn’t put it in all caps). So for instance, a book called These Are Not The Stories will not come up in a search unless you omit the word not. It seems like there has to be a way to adjust this on the back end!

Now shipping! In this ALA Editions Special Report, technology expert Robin Hastings highlights the first attempts of libraries across the country to set up policies for the use of AI in their organizations, as well as policies created by cities and other similar institutions, to guide stakeholders in creating their own smart, forward-thinking course of action. https://alastore.ala.org/genaipol

First day back to work after over a week out of office and I managed to not only get through all my email but even cataloged some new items that had arrived! Also heard good news that we got two grants I wrote, just waiting on the third application we have out there, which I'm a little skeptical we'll get. Tomorrow evening is the book launch for our local author project (another grant) and I'm so excited to celebrate the 34 books we helped publish!

Bitte Betriebsausflug nach Bologna!
Dort hat gerade die »Eco Bibliothek« geöffnet, in der 32.000 Bände aus dem Besitz des Autors und Semiotikers Umberto Eco versammelt sind. Die Ordnung der Bibliothek basiert auf Ecos Vorgehen der »guten Nachbarschaft«, die er wiederum von Aby Warburg adaptiert hat.#ausdemlebeneinesbibliothekars #librarylife

Wundere mich über den Optimismus in meiner Politik-Neuerscheinungsliste. Stelle fest: Verlag haut seine 2016er-Titel jetzt als Paperbacks raus. Schlecht gealtert... #LibraryLife

Noticing that there is now study-cubby style furniture at the gates, they look like they came from Demco!

Libraries are sacred, free-for-all institutions which are respected equalizers. People come to the library for literally every aspect of their lives. Without libraries, human society isn't the same. 📚 #LibraryLife

📚🌍 Erasmus+-Besuch aus Bari an der Universitätsbibliothek TUHH
Vom 20. bis 24.04.2026 besuchte uns Patrizia Calò.
Sie erhielt Einblicke in verschiedene Arbeitsbereiche, darunter Benutzung, Medienbearbeitung, #OpenAccess und #OER. Im Gegenzug stellte sie ihre Arbeit in Bari vor. Im Mittelpunkt standen der Austausch und der Vergleich von Arbeitsweisen an europäischen Hochschulbibliotheken.
Mehr zu ihren Eindrücken in unserem Blog.

Man kann natürlich für sein Selfpublishing-Buch auch einfach "Dreizehnte Auflage" als Untertitel wählen, das suggeriert Relevanz. Oh mann... #LibraryLife

Dog Man is an incredibly popular series with our older kids. In fact, this set is number four because we keep losing so many copies.

How do you choose just five books when every shelf is filled with possibilities?
Today's poem, Five Books, revisits a childhood trip to the library and the challenge of deciding which worlds to bring home.

🚪📚 Oh joy, a library straddling two countries finally gets its own entrance for those pesky Quebecers 🦄🇨🇦. Because nothing screams "unifying border" like a special door, eh? 😂🔑

I recently came across a post about a library budget game used with library science students in the 1970s, and it sent me down a rabbit hole exploring the long history of games, simulations, and play in adult learning. Maybe serious gaming isn’t a new idea after all—perhaps we’re simply rediscovering something educators knew decades ago.
