Looking forward to working with the library and archives community on our futures! news.uvic.ca/2025/reimagi...

Academic libraries are catalysts for innovation and creativity. We are a place for conversations, debates, and sense-making in a world of polarized and entrenched views. Join us in Victoria, BC, Sept. 15 & 16 for a discussion on Truth, Knowledge, & Society kulalaunch.eventbrite.ca #libraries #uvic

Did you know #Canada had an early homegrown #internet called #Telidon? That it was used by artists to share early electronic art? And #librarians & researchers recovered that art thought lost? Check out the fascinating story of "Remembering Tomorrow: A Telidon Story": www.remembertomorrow.ca/en-ca

Hats off to the Federation of State Humanities Councils, and the southern state councils for leading the way in speaking up about what they're losing with the NEH funding cuts.

Thinking of all my colleagues at the @nehgov.bsky.social (NEH) today. This is not okay. A culture is defined by its shared values--by the tangible and intangible works that are passed from one generation to the other.

#librarians, especially in the #UK: does anyone have contact information for the family of Gordon Eric Maxim, the author of _A History of Library Publishing_? I believe he passed in 2019 in Derbyshire. If so, would love to contact his kin. catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/00695...

Still a useful technology. Researching publishing in libraries. Thank you for your ILL #microfilm @uclalibrary.bsky.social !

For academics who are wondering if bluesky is "worth it" compared to Mastodon or other platforms, here is what @altmetric.com has to say... (thanks to @lauraestill.bsky.social for feeding my data addiction)

Just want to highlight the lovely work of the English Oak Project, which given the "root" of the word "book", deserves librarian praise @thekentacorn.bsky.social #trees

"Preserving Digital Humanities Projects Using Principles of Digital Longevity" has just been published in The Routledge Companion to Libraries, Archives, and the Digital Humanities. Many thanks to @gworthey.bsky.social & Isabel Galina Russell, eds. extraordinaire! doi.org/10.4324/9781...

also highly recommend Richard Ovendon's Burning the Books: A History of the Deliberate Destruction of Knowledge. It's still happening now

Highly recommend "Burning the Books: A History of the Deliberate Destruction of Knowledge" by Richard Ovendon. It touches on the difficulty of this sort of endeavor

Would love to hear what you think the "future" of libraries are: what collaborations, technologies, spaces, collections, people, ... would YOU like to see in the coming five years? Let's chat in the comments! #libraries #archives

What are the futures of libraries? What type of work does the Kula Academy support? The work of @uvic postdoctoral fellow Nathaniel Brunt provides one answer to these questions #libraries #archives @UVicResearch @UVicLib www.uvic.ca/news/topics/...

So … that other place WAS the bad place

My first post will be the pup in her happy place
