If libraries are the soul of a nation, what is parliment? I mean it can't be good 😜😂

@yosh This is absolutely true. And not just because I said as much many times during my career in libraries!
It may even have been doubly true for me because I worked in technical services, the "behind the scenes" stuff, rather than out at the reference desk. Even the reference librarians didn't know how we went about creating the online catalog they used to find stuff for researchers.
🗣 Thanks to Wiley for sharing this POV from ORCID Board Chair Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe.
Lisa: I'm a librarian. People can learn anything from a book! But that doesn't mean it's the best, most efficient way for people to learn things. And so I think Ai literacy is a great thing for universities to be working with students on right now.

What makes the job of librarians hard to understand is because if they do their job well, it becomes almost invisible. But the absence of what librarians do can be found because:
- information is hard to locate
- information is often out of date or conflicting
- information is outright missing
To me it's the other side of digital infrastructure, complementing what ops folks do.

It would sound better to call wikipedia an impressive feat of collaboration 🤔
But correcting people online is an annoying and fun activity we can do from home 😜

While I thoroughly enjoy the wealth of old Arabic periodicals on the Internet Archive, I am also frustrated by the state of metadata. Why do people laboriously upload thousands of individual issues but provide nothing but the **one-word** title? Don’t they want the material to be found? Is there something else to it?
Take, for example, https://archive.org/details/al-masrah_202408, which is the only known digitised copy of المسرح, published by محمد عبد المجيد حلمي in Cairo from 1925 onwards. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q124972737
#DigitalHumanities peeps and #Librarians, can you recommend publications on the state of the Internet Archive’s crowd-sourced metadata?
