Did you miss us at #ALAAC23? The recording of Transforming Metadata is now available, featuring Inkyng Choi and Heather Moulaison-Sandy #oclcResearch https://www.oclc.org/research/presentations/2023/ala-research-transforming-metadata.html

Hi #EWGC, we are still unpacking from #ALAAC23, a real good time. Here's a sampling of Fall 23 titles that caught our attention. Our feelings were reinforced at our booth in Chicago, where they stopped attendees in their tracks. Available to read digitally, enjoy!

Had the best time at #alaac23 this week. I was invited to rep my first picture book and met some amazing people.

Decided I'd better go looking for this while I remembered since I've now completely abandoned the bird site and won't see it there. List from yesterday's Read and Rave at #alaac23

According to Sandra, our poster at #ALAAC23 was a great success! Lots of great conversation apparently, and we've been asked to write an article about it.

"Did a bot do your work? Addressing pre-trained text generation apps in information literacy instruction"
