Dempsey: No longer are librarians focused on collection management, they are moved to strategic questions around how and what to collect and how the ecosystem functions and how library resources should be distributed to meet institutional goals.

Libraries are not independent or stand alone, they are always embedded in an institution or society.
Library is always relational to their users and community
Therefore Libraries are not static, they are dynamic, constantly evolving and adapting to changing tech & user needs.

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,
NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.
