  1. Was sad when I heard that #ABookApart closed shop, but just found out they reverted the rights to authors and many have made their books free! authors-together.org/

  2. This one's for my LibTech friends. I'm looking to get may archive organised in a manner suitable to have it accepted by a large cultural organisation. It is 35+ years of negatives, (black and white & colour) with 35+ years of black and white proof sheets. At some point I am going to want to add some kind of database, I don't really want to go down the spreadsheet route but apps like HomeCollective are beyond my technical skills. Any suggestions? All input appreciated.

  8. Somehow I think the most useful skill I learnt while working with #metadata in #libraries is #regex.

    I use it all the time for searching and replacing of text.

  9. This is how one printer sent us an update for some binders that need filing. I already took out a pile of a few hundred pages from the left stack, but I also need access to those pink sheets on the bottom right. Can’t those be interfiled?!

    This should be a crime 😅

  10. William Jensen Mangerøy from Uni of Bergen Library on trying AI/ML for subject headings and descriptive cataloging.

    Annif and Mesh on demand pretty good for subject headings; ChatGPT4 less so

  11. More than 10 years later, I'm a little amazed that we're still talking about the same thing: #accessibility and #usability through #InclusiveDesign not only to fulfil #WCAG obligations but to increase users

  12. If I fix 20 broken links every week, I'll eventually fix them all, right?! RIGHT?!

  13. Turns out a whole news feed layout page was coded for the previous internal comms team, and the items were published on the home page on our internal handbook. I finally removed it today, and replaced it with a Table of Contents to match our public one.
    The latest news item was from January 2023.
    I’m sure the #InformationManagement professionals who follow me can appreciate how satisfying that was.

  14. 😂🫣😂🫣🙄🫣

    I just spent an hour trying to figure out why something went haywire at work. Turns out someone used a “chatGPT-written python script” and ran it against our live digital library files.

    As you can imagine, hilarity ensued
