Practical Considerations for Adopting Generative AI Tools in Academic Libraries https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01930826.2025.2506151 #AI #libraries

Just had a random thought about building a decentralised online library using the #Murmurations protocol.

Many authors make e-versions of their books available for reading or download on their website, like David Holmgren's RetroSuburbia;

https://retrosuburbia.com/

What if they could put a simple JSON file on that website, containing info about the book and where to find it, using a standard format. Then anyone could build a catalogue website to make them more discoverable.

Is anyone building a database or otherwise collecting data on the canceled IMLS grants?

ACH has a database with the cancelled NEH grants - https://impact.ach.org/ - and having a similar database for IMLS grants could provide folks with more information about impacted positions, services, and community populations, bonus if hard numbers for all three can be collected!
