@inabookbind I’m sure it is daunting to stay on top of technolgical security, especially for libraries. With the AI generated photos, for example, security experts, and libraries, need to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. For as quickly, and realistic, as AI generated photos are, there are programs and people willing to use it maliciously.

It is a great way to save on staff hours and I’m glad it didn’t affect employment as well! -

It does definitely help when you have forward thinking leadership, that can think outside the box, and are also supportive of the staff they supervise. I also like that Pace, Michael, abd the rest of the team were transparent. That way there are no surprises or skeletons in the closet for people to find.

I feel like I have heard a lot about Gwinnett County Public Library system through the LIS program. I was wondering if there was any opinions on the reasons why? This is just out of curiousity. Is it because of the huge population they serve and some of the innovative services they offer?

@inabookbind, thank you for sharing the digital time capsule article! I’ve heard of cities and schools creating physical ones, so it makes sense that there is now a digital version. I would think the digital time capsule makes it so you can have a larger audience: both in putting one together and, obviously, who has access to it. Very cool!

This is great for the public’s mental health! Someone who was/is in a bad place may need to see this and dream, or at least feel a little bit better.

Claire, great topic to post about (and some great thoughts!) Like Diamond’s consortium, the public library cooperative I work in has gotten rid of all fees, except for damaged and lost items. In your conclusion, you mention incentives and rewards, instead of fines, for those who turn materials on time. What do you think that would look like? I was…[Read more]

AdriAnne C. commented on the post, Inspiration: Library Outpost!, on the site 2 months, 1 week ago
@michael Agreed! My library has one or two for checkout and I never see them in. It gives the community some more digital equity with having these available. All you need is a photo i.d., for a library card, to check one of these out.

@emtaggart I like the name, “Outpost” It sounds very rugged! This would be fitting, as stories can take you on an adventure! @louis I also like the idea of LOT, like tools, being incorporated into one of these devices. However, I am curious to know how theft would be prevented on any of the more valuable items? Bulletproof/break-proof glass and…[Read more]

One of my classmates completed an information community project on people who digitally help solve crimes. I don’t usually listen to podcasts that often, but that podcast is one I want to re-visit.

@acorey I was a long time MFM listener. I switched gears to more movie focused podcasts in the last couple of years. My memory is that one of the early listeners who is the Simpsons fan coin the term Murderino after Homer’s neighbor Ned Flanders’ way of speaking.

My Favorite Podcast 2 months, 2 weeks agoMy mom introduced be a couple years back to a true crime podcast called “My Favorite Murder”. If you find true crime facscinating, Karen and Georgia respectfully cover cases that have happened. They do intersperse some humor thoughout their podcast, but it is usually their dynamic and, as stated, doesn’t direct it towards the victims, This also…[Read more]

I used to listen to this podcast religiously, but fell behind during the shutdown (when I wasn’t commuting anymore) and haven’t listened in a few years. But the “murderino” groups on facebook are my favorite, and are almost the only thing I still use facebook for anymore!

@inabookbind I don’t listen like I used to but in 2017 to 2021 I listened to every episode. You are right…it was like listening to friends. Karen said something I still repeat to myself and share whenever I can: “Anxiety is liar.”

@acorey you share some very good ideas about dealing with AI in the library setting and how we might educate our users. When I first saw that photo, I thought it was real.
It is scary how realistic the photo that was generated is! As a library worker, trying to balance technology, with caution about technology, can be like a maze.
@acorey I’m glad that you mentioned AI photos, and even included one in your post! Librarians are already teaching information literacy and how to spot fake news, but now we also have to teach how to spot AI generated media and information as well. AI has become huge, and the generated photos are sometimes extremely hyperrealistic, and it is good to spot the fakes sometimes to not be misled with false information.
@inabookbind I’m sure it is daunting to stay on top of technolgical security, especially for libraries. With the AI generated photos, for example, security experts, and libraries, need to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. For as quickly, and realistic, as AI generated photos are, there are programs and people willing to use it maliciously.
You almost got me with the photo as well! I looked a little closer and saw that the laptop morphed into the book but otherwise it is very lifelike.
Have you taken Professor Mooradian’s course in AI data and ethics? I am learning a lot and really enjoying the content. We talk a lot about AI and the usage within library spaces and a lot of the things that you discussed are covered in the class as well.
No, I have not taken a class from Professor Mooradian. That sounds like an interesting course! Carlee, thank you for the recommentdation!
@acorey nice touch with the AI featured image! I’ve also seen ChatGPT be recommended as a readers’ advisory tool–something I’ve since tried out and found to be pretty neat (I’ve even asked it to recommend movies for me based on content I like and the mood I’m in). Not that you’d want to rely on AI entirely for that service, but it’s a nice supplement! Also, some librarians recommend utilizing AI for administrative/programming preparation, like asking it to generate a presentation for you or to draft a grant proposal. Of course, some of those generative tasks can lead into murky ownership waters, but if you transform it into your own work or credit your source, I think that helps. Nice post!
@Valancy Thanks! I don’t know quite what to think about chat bots. I’ve only had a little experience with Kingbot (the SJSU library tool) and with shopping, like on Amazon. I agree with you that they should just act as a supplement, not a replacement for human effort.
@Kiana Pouya I agree that it is possibly to tell AI images from real one, eventhough they do look very lifelike! For me, the people in the images look too perfect, like they have had waaay to much plastic surgery. Eerie is a great way to describe it! I’ll take that quiz after I get caught up on some more class work, however, the one image I saw on the website you recommended, of AI generated human faces, is creepy to see! Especially, when you think of scammers and what trouble they could cause with this tool!
@Arthur Kolat Thank you for the articles! There are so many types of AI, which can be a complex topic. I believe ChatGPT and such are referred to as chatbots. I will be focusing on humanoid robots for the strategic plan I am currently working on.
Sincerely,
AdriAnne
I did hear about the r’s in strawberry, with the chatbot. Scary how it could mislead people! Does anyone have a minor (Orwellian?) fear that robots could possibly someday control society?
