Mx Kestrel ᓚᘏᗢFinally got some extended thoughts together about the IMLS destruction, mostly about the services about to be taken from communities, focused here in <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/Florida" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Florida</a>. <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/Libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryLife</a><a href="https://onequeerlibrarian.com/2025/04/01/national-emergency-the-dismantling-of-the-institute-of-museum-library-services/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://onequeerlibrarian.com/2025/04/01/national-emergency-the-dismantling-of-the-institute-of-museum-library-services/</a>

AnneArchy AnneHearing that all <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/IMLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IMLS</a> staff have been put on leave as of today. Expecting that we'll be notified that already awarded grants are not happening pretty soon.

rowmyboatFuck yeah, a member of my staff just won election as an officer in her <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#union</a>!

Ruth [☕️ 👩🏻‍💻📚✍🏻🧵🪡🍵]Was trying to figure out why Outlook keeps asking me if I was trying to add an attachment.then I realized this is a conversation with my dept head about "attaching" holdings and... yeah <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/librarylife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#librarylife</a>

AnneArchy Annesubbed at a neighboring library today, which I do on occasion. helped a lot of people get tax forms and print documents, place holds on TV series on DVD, and find information on assorted topics. Reminded repeatedly that our tax filing system is overly complicated, especially for people without a lot of resources, and plenty concerned that it will only get worse given current events.<a href="https://glammr.us/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryLife</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/ReferenceDesk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReferenceDesk</a>

AnneArchy Annedays like today I really wish we just worked half the number of hours in a week (but still paid as a full-time job). I took last Friday off so today was just damage control on my email inboxes and I am exhausted!<a href="https://glammr.us/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryLife</a>

Julie GoldbergAnd now I’m hanging out at the public library, which is a pretty funny way for a librarian to spend her first day! I also visited the Morgan Library & Museum in NYC this weekend (highly recommended!) so I guess I chose the right profession. (I’m looking for academic library jobs, so I’ll be back working in a library sooner or later. This condition is apparently incurable.) <a href="https://social.coop/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LibraryLife</a>

rowmyboatTMW you stumble upon the exact thing, which cites other exact things, you need for a revise & resubmit. <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryLife</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a>

CaitlinThis is horrifying. I have my issues with the <a href="https://library.love/tags/americanlibraryassociation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#americanlibraryassociation</a> - namely that it doesn't do enough/go far enough - but it is an essential resource, and is absolutely not out to get anyone. <a href="https://bookriot.com/iowa-hf-284/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bookriot.com/iowa-hf-284/</a><a href="https://library.love/tags/protectlibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protectlibraries</a> <a href="https://library.love/tags/librarylife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#librarylife</a> <a href="https://library.love/tags/publiclibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publiclibraries</a> <a href="https://library.love/tags/intellectualfreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intellectualfreedom</a> <a href="https://library.love/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#censorship</a> <a href="https://library.love/tags/bookbanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookbanning</a> <a href="https://library.love/tags/bookbanningisfascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookbanningisfascism</a>

AnneArchy AnneRecently heard that some <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/publicLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicLibraries</a> are offering a version of <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/DuoLingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuoLingo</a> - not seeing details about this on the official website. anyone know how it works or found a link I missed?<a href="https://glammr.us/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryLife</a>

stephen m 🍞🌹🇵🇸News flash to college students in Boston, maybe try your schools library on the weekend instead <a href="https://union.place/tags/Boston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Boston</a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryLife</a>

SkyI've misplaced my cheat-sheet on setting up ebook collections from the CZ, so that we don't get duplicate records.

Julie GoldbergMy students' idea of a prank: Hide an expensive Bose speaker. Use it to blast music in the library. Disconnect before I find it. When the bell rings, hang around awkwardly, waiting in vain for me to give up. I found it once they left. I'm either getting a confession or a nice speaker! <a href="https://social.coop/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LibraryLife</a>

rowmyboatWe sorted the EZProxy data (now with 1 week retention period!); my FOLIO admin has thoroughly investigated FOLIO data & we’re working on anonymizing what we can & bugging devs to sort what can’t yet be; I want to bring up the Aleph data we retained post-migration & move up the disposition data; and I’ve been talking to ILL about the ILLiad data. <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryLife</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a>

AnneArchy AnneDoes your library have a Library of Things? If so, what's popular? ORWhat non-book item do you wish you could check out from your library?<a href="https://glammr.us/tags/LibraryOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryOfThings</a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryLife</a>

Julie GoldbergIn the last two weeks that I will be at my job of 20 years, I’ve been inspired to finally deal with a box of news clippings about the school’s history going back to 1964. I gave myself a very fast and dirty introduction to archiving, then got to work. I’m LOVING this project! And now I think maybe I would like to be an <a href="https://social.coop/tags/archivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#archivist</a>? Or at least learn more about it? I’d also like to show an archivist my project and learn what I did right (if anything) and wrong (probably quite a lot). <a href="https://social.coop/tags/librarylife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#librarylife</a>

stephen m 🍞🌹🇵🇸A very common question "do you have computer chargers, Iphone chargers, phone chargers?" How is it 2024 and people either forget them at home especially a laptop charger!! <a href="https://union.place/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryLife</a>

Angela MillerGoing into the local school tomorrow to share some local stories, so I put them into a wee book.
