It's 2023, 75 years after the Nakba, 44 years after Edward Said published The Question of Palestine, the Library of Congress subject headings, a cataloguing standard used by libraries around the world, *finally* added an entry "Palestine question (1948-)".

Lets say i have a camera and a focal point like in the bigger picture below. how can i get a normalized 2d vec of which way its pointing, discarding the pitch? (Imagine the bottom right is a top view, and the arrow reps the 2d normalized vector I want to obtain) (using #bevy so this is within #glam) #rust

"After all, we’re the libraries. We have plenty of experience with corporate entities that don’t reflect our values. "
"We also know all too well the very worst of what humanity can create, because we collect it."
"We know that our collections as a whole are themselves the legacies of systems of oppression in what they do and do not contain."
"We also know the harms that our own workplace practices and culture have caused over the years."

I communicated with the editor prior during the process, so they knew my thoughts and my struggles with the book and review. To their credit, they published it with very minor edits. I really agonized over the whole thing.
But that was the last I heard from Notes!
I wonder if this ghosting has happened to others when reviewing books? Either with Notes or other GLAM publishing?
2/2
Sometimes I think about the last book review I did for MLA Notes years ago. It was not a favorable review (unlike an earlier one I wrote for another book, also for Notes). Though I half-heartedly recommended the book since it had some hard-to-find info in English, I provided examples and citations to counter the author's hyperbolic claims and language. I noted their unacknowledged bias, but tried to be gentle about it.

My hubby was at this show! But he doesn't remember anything about it. 🤣 #TheDamned & T.Rex, 11th March 1977 at the Apollo, #Manchester. I found this info online: The Apollo had a seated capacity of around 2,700. It was built as a cinema in 1930. Dandy in the Underworld was released on this day to critical acclaim from most sections of the music press. This would be T Rex's last officially released album in Marc's lifetime. The tour party stayed the night at The Post House hotel. #punk #glam 1/2
Been prodding the new `/magazine/title` endpoint that was added to #Trove API v3. It provides details on periodical titles and issues (other than newspapers). So it's very useful, but also very not...
Of the 2,504 titles, 1,538 point to sets of parliamentary papers. I suppose annual reports count as periodicals, but it would be good to be able to separate them out. In any case I've already got a full harvest of PPs.
Of the 966 left, 114 have no issues. That seems to be either because they're actually issues rather than titles, or they're just brokened.
Another 124 titles have incomplete lists of issues, either because some of the issues have no date, or they're just brokened.
So as with just about everything involving Trove data, I'll have to develop a series of workarounds to deal with the problems and inconsistences. This is my life now. #TroveDataGuide #GLAM #digitalHumanities
There are 6,160 NLA oral histories online in #Trove – more than 14,000 hours of recordings to listen to. You can even download audio files and transcripts. I'm almost finished the oral histories section in the #TroveDataGuide to help researchers find and use them. https://wragge.github.io/trove-data-guide/other-digitised-resources/oral-histories/overview.html #GLAM #histodons #oralHistory #digitalHumanities

So I reckon about 14,277 hours of oral history interviews have been digitised by the NLA and made available for listening through #Trove. Everyone focuses on the newspapers, but there's so much other great stuff -- unfortunately it's a bit hidden away.

Cope is a museum technologist who's worked on lots of critical digital projects over the years, and in this talk, he addresses himself to the difference between the excitement of the #GalleriesLibrariesArchivesAndMuseums (#GLAM) sector over the possibilities of the #web, and why he doesn't feel the same excitement over the #metaverse, and its various guises - #XR, #VR, #MR and #AR.
The biggest reason to be excited about the web was - and is - the openness of disintermediation.

Externally, it seemed like Dr. Burnette made progress - or started - changing an organizational culture that needed changing. But many of us have experienced that painful disconnect between the positive affects others perceive from outside and the confusion and problems that persist inside the organization. Just adds to the stress and sadness.
I feel for everyone involved.

After what seems like a sudden departure of their newly arrived CEO, I feel terrible for folks I know and for all the staff at Newfields here in Indianapolis. I don't know what's going on as far as leadership - I'm guessing we'll find out soon, but that's not my main concern. Even without details, we all know this type of turmoil affects everyone. So much uncertainty, and probably a sense of loss. That's what I care about.

Hopefully @billt will post his talk notes soon, but in the meantime, I loved his provocation: we act like AI is the services layer, but what if it's the structure? We have an opportunity to rethink some of the core structures of the world around AI capabilities. What could a library be with these capabilities, what could it offer us? What might we want it to be? #LibrariesRewired #libraries #GLAM #AI

I learn incredible stuff every time. Practical, useful, will make life easier daily and save your ass in a pinch sorts of stuff.
And I also learn fascinating AF arcana. Today it was the Hereford Mappa Mundi (I disappointed all in my utter innocence on the topic- it's a religious map with Jerusalem at the center and heaven, encircled by flames, anchored somewhere in the vicinity of Japan)...

I hate that no #GLAM saw the value in archiving them. 😞
I love this provocation for libraries: 'Because archival methodology accommodates lower quality descriptive records, this also makes it a perfect fit for automated approaches that derive description from digital materials. This includes full text, technical metadata, or the output of computational techniques such as entities extracted using Natural Language Processing (NLP). Archival description is also a perfect fit for using emerging machine learning techniques for extracting meaningful information from digital images and documents for discovery if these tools can be used without causing harm'

Unesco planning virtual museum of stolen cultural artefacts https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/06/unesco-planning-virtual-museum-of-stolen-cultural-artefacts “Behind every stolen work or fragment lies a piece of history, identity and humanity that has been wrenched from its custodians, rendered inaccessible to research, and now risks falling into oblivion,” said the Unesco director general, Audrey Azoulay. “Our objective with this is to place these works back in the spotlight, and to restore the right of societies to access their heritage, experience it, and recognise themselves in it.” #culture #heritage #GLAM

Question for #archivists, #librarians, #historians, #glam, #culturalHeritage professionals, #oralHistorians and related history/memory-oriented folks out here in the fedi:
Do you use the term “memory worker”? If so, what does this mean to you?
I’ve been using it (and hearing it) as a useful generalized term to include all folks who work in history/memory fields
Really curious if it’s widely used and if so, with which groups, and if there are any meanings I might be missing

hello
I'm daniel and I'm the politics curator working at the Library of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), UK.
I do engagement work with archives. I'm also a librarian & working towards archivist registration with the ARA.
I like psychoanalysis, italian, archives & words.

I'm helping 2 faculty develop an u-grad Library & Archival Studies Concentration in Africana Studies, in part to encourage students to pursue their MLIS. We're creating an intro LIS foundations class & I'm helping to craft a module on the history of the profession. I have 3 broad categories of content:
1) History of LIBRARIES: establishment of public libraries, efforts to integrate libraries, collections (whose voice gets included/excluded)
2) History of LIBRARY WORKERS: feminized/white; race, racism, segregation; professionalization
3) History of LIBRARY WORK: collection building & description, evolution of subject classification; consortial collections/reference, resource sharing; technology and the transformation of library work; labor/unionization
I'd love to hear what y'all think are essential topics + readings. You can share here👇 or DM for access to my draft. Thx!
