The ACS has deleted its website on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Respect. And with that move, have shown they are worthy of none of the latter. People ask why no-one stands up to fascists, this is why - they are too worried about their own standing to challenge it. www.acs.org/about/divers...

For those in the academic sector, @openresshef.bsky.social have an Open Research pack: bsky.app/starter-pack... As far as I know there isn't a Starter Pack just of 'libraries' - but you could use the List in the first post in this thread and manually follow everyone on it if you wished...

I've not come across a starter pack focusing specifically on senior leaders with overall responsibility for university libraries (dean, director, head) so thought I'd start one. I'm sure I've missed plenty of people, so let me know to be added! go.bsky.app/7DgUMvf

Will it the book be #openaccess? Congratulations!

Congratulations! #openaccess #oabooks
