Activism comes in many forms. It isn't always grand, and most people never know about it, but it still matters. Don't forget to be the change where you are.

new ncds article out. "Recruitment Techniques for LIS Internship Applicants of Color: Case Study of a Paid Medical Data Internship Program" by de la Cruz et al. https://t.co/1Od2uwK4GH

@Kyrahbrownphd Same here. I was working on my course revision. After reading it, I had to stop working on it for the evening!

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

the fact that textbooks are still writing about Native American people like this... this rhetoric was published in 2020 y'all.

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

@laura_haygood It is shockingly bad.

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

@throwing_shayde need cheese for my egg. betta tell em

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

The 2019 article about #PubMed coauthored by me and @LibGirl09 has now been cited 100 times! What!! https://t.co/vZA64oglOi

@katkimbell @gonzoarchivist @mary_saffell @UND_CFLibrary I've worked at many libraries and only experienced this once. I hope to never experience it again, but still, yeah, we need a how-to ditch a dean session.

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

@miriamkp So accurate! And, this clearly has shown itself in how many library leaders have responded to workers' needs during the covid pandemic.

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

@miriamkp Not to mention all the complaints being ignored. Seems like we are invisible along with our labor.

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

This is 1000% accurate. In fact, things were much worse than Melissa conveys here. But, shout out to the UTA Library diaspora. We are strong despite it all.

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

@TimothyMischief @AnarkYouTube Same here!!

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

The accuracy of this is chilling

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

@itsamyfyn Awesome! Thank you.

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

Something I’d like to share in these turbulent Twitter (potentially end)times is that

Librarians do surveys how everyone else does systematic reviews - completely winging it. There isn’t any basic social science methodology. Literally throwing questions into a Qualtrics form.

[Amy F. Fyn @itsamyfyn]

@123POW it's live! please consider this survey of academic librarian turnover intention and leadership - link to the call for participation to keep things legit:

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

An increase in self-reported use of a reporting guideline in systematic reviews was observed between 2014-2020, finds study @mjpages.

However, there was no evidence that reviews using a guideline were more completely reported than those not using one

Get ready to enjoy all those beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes...

Did you know Shirley Caesar, The Queen of Gospel Music, is from Durham?

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

@StuartGNicholl1 @SVisin I think this was one of my textbooks in grad school!

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

@SVisin Ha thanks! I also just realized my typo on the word “partner.” 🥴 Hopefully you get some good resources in the replies. It’s helpful for me too!

[Peace Ossom @123POW]

This is cool
