One Year In: What I've Learned About the Scholarly Publishing Industry - Silverchair A year ago, I started at Silverchair without really understanding what scholarly publishing was. Here's everything I've learned since then.

Our colleague shared his thoughts on his first year of experience in the scholarly publishing industry.

Read his thoughts here: https://www.silverchair.com/news/one-year-in/

This discussion of how one university is rethinking approaches to collection management is really quite interesting. It addresses how the institutional library derives value from collections encompassing both print as well as digital materials. Worth a read.

Quote: When someone asks whether AI makes libraries obsolete, the questioner...accepts a definition of libraries as information retrieval systems. That is a definition that was always reductive and is now actively misleading. Libraries are epistemic infrastructure. laurenpressley.com/library/2026...

I don't ever ask for support or donations on the News feed because its infrastructure is all run on Graze, which provides an incredible service to the Bluesky community.

Please consider sending them a few bucks to help with costs if you find this feed useful! 💚

Lessons Learned from Auditing 100 LibGuides - ACRLog Last fall, my library undertook an ambitious—and necessary—overhaul of our LibGuide catalog. This was spurred on by the new requirements added to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 202...

This is an interesting read -- at least, from my perspective. LibGuides serve a purpose but that doesn't mean that they should be treated as static in nature. acrlog.org/2026/02/16/l...

We will be awash in sloppy nostalgic representations of the American Revolution this year. That’s why sharp careful analyses of the distance between those representations and evidence-based history is so important.
