In our new paper 📄, we reflect on how the principle of the ‘right to be forgotten’ #RTBF, specifically the right to erasure as enshrined in Article 17 (and to some extent Art. 19 and Art. 21) of the General Data Protection Regulation (#GDPR; Regulation (EU) 2016/679), or the right to delete undesirable, unflattering or reputation-damaging archived records of oneself from search engines or databases, might apply to academic publishing: https://doi.org/10.1002/leap.1579

"The traditional image of a #library as a building in which silence should reign belies its true role as an access point for free speech and fresh concepts that can be both eye-opening and controversial."

This is what HISD's new superintendent, installed by the Texas Education Agency, Mike Miles, thinks of librarians: "He rather blithely said he didn’t feel that librarians had much impact on learning outcomes. (“I’d rather have a high-quality teacher getting paid a lot, than have a librarian doing what, checking out books?” he told the Houston Chronicle.)" #libraries #librarians #librarianship https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2023/06/former-dallas-isd-superintendent-mike-miles-faces-a-hostile-houston/

I need to get better at posting publicly about cool programs I attend. This past Thursday I attended the virtual Metadata Justice Symposium hosted by University of Central Oklahoma, which was hands down one of the best conferences I've ever attended. Folks presented on some really cool projects, including Tribal Nations Metadata & the Fus Fixico Classification System, which centres indigenous history

I support #EmilyDrabinski and think she will be a great #AmericanLibraryAssociation (#ALA) president. Right now she's under a ton of fire for being a self-professed "#Marxist lesbian."

There is an open letter in support of her that is widely circulating. It declares "Marxism is an economic philosophy not a political platform."

As a marxist and librarian myself, I will not sign anything with such a declaration.

It is not just an "economic philosophy."

Yes, reordering the economic basis of society is the ultimate goal, but politics is part of that. You cannot destroy private property and exploitation without organizing the class, destroying the capitalist state, and holding down the old oppressing class with force and violence. Marx was clear about this from early on:

"All revolution -- the overthrow of the existing ruling power and the dissolution of the old order -- is a political act. But without revolution, socialism cannot be made possible. It stands in need of this political act just as it stands in need of destruction and dissolution. But as soon as its organizing functions begin and its goal, its soul emerges, socialism throws its political mask aside." - Marx, 'Critical Notes on the Article "The King of Prussia and Social Reform" By a Prussian'

Hello, I am Ely (preferred name) I am a 30 year old #nonbinary bub pursing their #librarianship & #archival career having graduated with my MSIS in 2020. My interest and specialization is #digitization as I love preserving photographs, diaries, letters and other family records. I also graduated with my Studio Arts degree in #drawing and #photography which I love to do in my free time.

I just got my marks back for my last assessment for #inclusivity and #diversity in the workplace.

Teacher - "I can tell you have a good handle on addressing diversity and inclusion in the workplace."

Makes sense seeing as it's one of my passions in life. Diversity and inclusion all the time! Loved this unit.

I'm Marie, an #ExecutiveFunctioning #coach living in the UK. I was a PhD candidate in #EnvironmentalScience, but I think #LongCovid has put an end to that career path, at least for now. I'm interested in topics related to #neurodiversity, #accessibility, #plants, #nature & #politics. I also work in an academic #library & am looking for a career that lets me combine my interests - maybe #librarianship or #advocacy work. Links in my bio if you'd like to chat!

"Asked about his staffing plans for the 29 struggling campuses his administration plans to reform, Miles matter-of-factly let us know that librarians were not exactly a priority.
