Wise words from The Cake and Biscuit Alliance in 1950 #NationalBiscuitDay

A university that does not understand the value of physical libraries staffed with real librarians is a university that does not understand how knowledge is kept.

Faculty: libraries and librarians need your advocacy BEFORE our collections are shuttered and our workers are fired. Whether you think your library is in trouble, and it almost definitely is, write to your provost and tell them how essential the library and library staff are to your work. Right now.

In the age of AI, I find myself becoming quite fond of and sympathetic to sloppy but honest undergraduate prose.

Get in! Gyökeres and Saka again! Arsenal back on form
