“The culture of a library is typically not focused around the production of knowledge."
I think my journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, and presentations would beg to differ. And I have librarian colleagues who publish way more than me.

I know the fiscal landscape is bleak everywhere in higher ed, but spare a thought for Western Illinois University where they just laid off **all the library faculty.**

There's a new press release from Turnitin making big claims about their AI detector. They've scanned over 200 million papers with it over the past year.

A 4% false positive rate, their current claim, means 8 million wrong results. That's a lot of harm.

Our article on #LGBTQ+ inclusion in outdoor field experiences received enough downloads to be a #TopDownloadedArticle in #EcologicalApplications. A reminder that, despite political pushback, there is a real need to create inclusive spaces in the #outdoors and #STEM fields.
