True! I am both sad and impatient for it, all at the same time.

@inabookbind That is cool! I’m glad they also have environments that assist those with ADHD, like the tactile rooms.

@inabookbind Is a quiet room a type of sensory room? My library has one for staff with a comfy chair, blanket, mini-zen garden, and meditation app. It’s a smaller room (with a door) off the main room, and is really nice to have! We rent the space, but I wish we could also have one for patrons, because we have received a couple requests of that nature

Congrats to those finishing up! To other fellow students who are, like me, still working on their degree, hang in there and enjoy the journey! I’m not graduating until Fall ’25, but I can’t wait!

Me too! Are sensory rooms similar to “quiet rooms”? I’ve heard both terms.

@acorey Oh yes. Such a powerful moment in the video..and when the librarians presented it at Next Library 2019.

@acorey ,
This was very heartwarming to watch and I loved it. I also agree that having different types of spaces for different types of library experiences is crucial. I love the idea of having sensory rooms in libraries. I would definitely use one to help with my anxiety at times.

@acorey I believe that quiet rooms are also sensory rooms…. like I used to go to a quiet place in my art school library, where I could kind of shut off all the noise and put myself in a little hiding hole. It would help me calm down in anxious situations, just as the same as a more tactile room would probably help someone with ADHD. I think there are just different types of sensory spaces for different types of mental stimulation.

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?

I don’t believe I’ve tried this one, but I will! Thanks! Does anyone else find the number of app we can use in the MLIS program, and life in general, overwhelming? I often find myself having to moderate the apps on my cell. Too many and you can never find anything!

@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

@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…[Read more]

@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.

Students have access to Adobe, so we can get their images when it might have cost something otherwise.

@acorey This is all so interesting! I agree that information professionals can play a role in helping parents decide how they approach technology and their children. I see both sides: too much screen time cannot be the best, but also we want to raise conscientious and thoughtful digital citizens.
