Alice Hudson, Librarian Who Built a Trove of Historic Maps, Dies at 77
She transformed the New York Public Library’s collection of charts and atlases into one of the world’s largest and most accessible resources.

Hi everyone! We're an online professional development resource for #librarians, #archivists, and all sorts of folks who work (or want to work) in the library and cultural heritage fields.
Super psyched to be on Mastodon!
Hi Everyone! This is our #introduction post!
We're a press focusing on theoretical and practical issues in #librarianship from a #critical perspective, for an audience of professional #librarians and #students of #library #science
So excited to be here!
Those #librarians who work at R1s and/or large public universities, how big is your #LibrarySystems unit? How many people work on managing e-resources?
I’d like to start making arguments for more staffing; I think our peer institutions have more people working on this stuff than we do. #LibraryLife #libraries
I'm so fucking angry about this.
Behind the rest of the bullshit: LIBRARY STAFF became apparently-willing little minions of an anti- #freespeech president.
US #Universities are not laboratories of #democracy; they are authoritarian hierarchies. The president is the monarch and everyone else follows the orders or else.
That's my only explanation for why #LIBRARIANS became meek little fascist approval-seekers.
Information Hunters by Kathy Peiss, 2019
When Librarians, Soldiers, and Spies Banded Together in World War II Europe
While armies have seized enemy records and rare texts as booty throughout history, it was only during World War II that an unlikely band of librarians, archivists, and scholars traveled abroad to collect books and documents to aid the military cause.

Ha! Look at this bootlicking bullshit. The Dean of LSU #Libraries is normalizing and justifying the removal of #tenure from #faculty #librarians
Throwing his lot in with #university admin who are openly hostile and contemptuous of the #library
My one regret is that I can only quit that fucking place once
Hardly a day goes by that I don’t think about how happy I am to have quite my tenure-track #library job. But today I’m super happy about not being there
#LSU is ditching #tenure for #librarians because the #scholarship isn’t good enough
Hey #libraries and #librarians ...anyone want a good domain name for something? https://mastodon.social/@dweinberger/112994622364514066
A student from my course is wondering - Any advice for higher level #LIS interviews? Deans, Directors, etc. What questions should be expected, what are your prep tips, etc? Thank you! #Libraries #Librarians #LISCareers #GLAM #GLAMCareers #LISJobs

We are literally on our way to #ALAAC24 right now. We couldn't be more excited about the chance to meet our library friends in person!
What are YOU most excited about with ALAAC24?
Come say hi this weekend at Booth #656 in the Library Marketplace.

I highly recommend following @everylibrary and donating to them, even small amounts. They are the only entity I know that gives pro-bono help when #libraries and #librarians are under attack from right-wing (well-funded) groups like Moms for Liberty. #bookbanning
