Update. Survey of US #librarians and #LIS faculty.
coloradomesa.az1.qualtrics.com

"Recent weeks and months have brought shifts to the pursuit of research across the United States, including funding freezes and budget cuts, executive orders regarding DEIA (and its variants) and other justice-related topics (e.g., environmental justice)…This survey aims to gather the perspectives of academic librarians and LIS-program faculty about the implications of these shifts (and executive orders) on research initiatives and, more broadly, academic freedom, researchers' freedom of thought/speech/expression within academia, and researchers' overall intellectual freedom."

FEDLIB listserve @librarians

"Our medium-sized agency staff library ... asked indirectly by GSA to justify keeping any other “media contracts” ... identified by GSA included our OCLC WorldShare and Connexion subscription (clearly not media)"

"Basically, GSA ran a search of contracts with the keyword “subscription” in the description and sent that list to agencies."

Librarians in Hawaii! Kelly Jensen is looking for you:

"Do I know any public or school librarians in Hawaii? Do I know someone who might know someone who is?

I'd love to be in touch *VIA EMAIL* with them. kelly@riotnewmedia.com.

It's for a story, there's no need to be on record, and it's about positive things, not negative."

Please share!

Via Kelly Jensen: "Iowa's House File 274, which would criminalize librarians, passes out of the House Education Committee. It can now be heard on the floor.

What this bill is, what it would mean for library and school workers, and why it was rushed through."

If you are in Iowa, CALL YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES and demand they shoot that shit down.

Calling #librarians and #GLAM-experts who would be up to advise @SafeguardingResearch:

We are designing a dataset catalogue for sharing data using torrents. It needs to be as simple as possible but no simpler. We need review of our metadata schema by an expert to make sure we haven't missed essential things.

Safeguarding Research ✊ · Metadata-SchemaWe are designing a dataset catalogue for sharing data using torrents. It needs to be as simple as possible but no simpler.
