The paperback of my debut book is released in the UK this Thursday, and I'm still pinching myself that it's happening.

The June issue of our #journal Catalogue & Index is live focusing on the use of generative #AI within the #metadata world, including articles that critically examine the applicability of generative AI in library metadata creation and #cataloguing.

The President just fired our extraordinary Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. As Chair of Senate Rules I worked closely w/her. She was dedicated to the Library and highly respected by Democratic AND Republican senators. This is an outrage and a big loss.

Prince Maurice is always overshadowed by his more glamorous older brother, but at Ripple Field and in the campaign leading up to it, he showed he was Rupert's equal or - whisper it - maybe even better, as a general!
