Not just for kids but for adults too. Library spaces can provide such programming to allow kids of all ages to create and explore all the while giving ideas either to the library or to each other. I would agree that restrictions on the Idea Box may have hampered a bit of the creativity, but I think they just…Read more

I remember that Wikipedia wasn’t considered a valid source in some of my classes back in the day. This encouraged students to follow the links to the source material.

WeChat is definitely a good way to target New Americans and notify them of community services. I find that many immigrants actually don’t use mainstream apps, so WeChat is a great alternative if your institution permits it. Thanks for the comment, @anitayjc

Thank you for sharing your perspective on folksonomies! I have never worked or interacted with a library that has had one before outside of LibraryThing.

I agree with you.
I cannot imagine the AI representations of the loved ones NOT be upsetting at some point of the grieving process. In my opinion, and I understand it may not be everyones’, it is a way of capitalizing on a person’s loss and pain, and it just does not sit well with me. :/

It’s funny, I also wrote about AI this week, just really from a line I read in one of our readings: “Microsoft believes that if they build it, we will come -and buy their product. Google’s approach is different: if they built it, we will integrate it into our lives”. And I think that’s what Google has done with Gemini, and just w…Read more

And I agree: it’s hard to tell how much the public was involved in the process to have the robots in the library.

The first was rather intense and fell into that discomfort area that sometimes I appreciate. The second season was much more involved and I think I enjoyed it more because there was a bit of redemption here and there.
