Our latest book - "Text and Data Mining Literacy for Librarians," edited by Whitney Kramer, Iliana Burgos, and Evan Muzzall - demonstrates how academic libraries are supporting TDM literacy through services, workflows, and professional development. https://bit.ly/428QlNC

In Latin America, LGBTQ+ history collections are a form of resistance. Grassroots projects are using the memories of community members to fight against systematic violence and demand justice. www.wired.com/story/lgbtq-...

Dr. Hayden has been such a transformative and inspiring Librarian for the past decade. If you haven't had the privilege to spend time with LC staff, you may not realize what a sea change she brought to our national library. One of the all-time greats. A huge loss for millions and millions.

If you'd like to see all the canceled NEH grants at variance with agency priorities that allegedly will fail to inspire your confidence in use of taxpayer funds, go explore impact.ach.org. Then contact your representatives about this outrageous cull.

🔥 📝 FOLKS — I'm working on a piece for Slate about the NEH cuts. If you've been affected in ANY way and would be willing to talk with me, please message me! I would love to learn more and include your story. katina [at] katinarogers [dot] com #humanities #neh #education #highered

Back to the real world after spending a week at #DH2024 Still feeling grateful and inspired by the amazing people I got to see. So many Zoom friends and colleagues irl!

Officially launching CariDiScho 2024. Many new things this round: dozens of new entries, whole new design, obituary section, new filters, keyboard and swipe support, and new feedback forms. Enjoy! thecaribbeandigital.org/caridischo/

A thing I wrote is now out in the world: doi.org/10.1093/jahi... It is a short review essay of how historians and archivists have been using the web since the '90s (US perspective), to collect personal histories & eye witness accounts following current events & reflecting on the past

Keystone DH 2024 is almost here! Stay tuned for updates by following our socials.

Need an out of office reply that respectfully informs everyone that, “I already interacted with too many people at work for this week and will not be responding to your email until I reset next week. I like all of you, I just don’t have any thoughts left.”

My daily reminder of how AI, or really ML, still sucks at basic things: the automatic spam detection in gmail and outlook both cost me a sub-$200 Mac Pro I bid on even though the seller’s email is in my “safe senders” 🙄😤

Given all the “data driven cost efficient” language in higher ed lately, I was wondering how big a bureaucracy would be needed to enforce 🎶everything old is new again 🎹censoring and intimidation tactics. This gives a pretty accurate figure: a lot.

There was no better way to debut at #MLA24 than a panel with @jenniferisasi.bsky.social, Tyeschia Thompson, and @walshbr.bsky.social Great talks by too many people to tag here so I’ll just say thank you to the #DH folks!

Hey there little friend.

Pine-o-lantern! This I can get behind.

🏴󠁵󠁳󠁰󠁲󠁿 🇵🇷 09/23/23 is the 155th Anniversary of the Declaration of the Puerto Rican Republic and Independence: “The Revolution to establish the independence of the homeland has never failed…the time it takes to claim its sovereignty from foreign interventions does not matter.” Albizu Campos

50% (ideally) of being a librarian is to bring people to those doors.

The irony of getting to the end of the work week, realizing I have to work over the weekend, and having this as the last task on my list: “Reach out to people that can help me work smarter, not harder”
