A must read on the Clarivate announcement to end perpetual access to print, e-books, & digital collections by end of year. Siobhan Haimé suggests this disaster for libraries could be “an opportunity to radically explore alternative models to protect equitable access.”

On my way to WOLFcon in London! It will be a busy week for me: a presentation at the “Linked data production foundations” workshop, participating as a panelist at the plenary session “National libraries: open source, open future” & arranging two working meetings. And that’s just the first two days!

The BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe is ongoing. The highlights for me so far is the presentation about Blue Cloud by Kalli Mathios and my colleague Andreas Andersson discussing our work at the National Library of Sweden with normalising and coordinating types of bibliographic data in Libris.

I’ve been spending a lot of time at work lately thinking about linked open data and libraries, especially the intersection of a shared platform/infrastructure and local library systems (ILS/LSP). So many outstanding questions there to consider!

Looking forward to visiting Berlin again, invited to hold a keynote at the GBV-konferenz 2024. Today I am also meeting with the SBB and IAI libraries to discuss their FOLIO implementations. Very exciting!

The library board “fired the library director for refusing to move or remove 113 books that they feel are ‘inappropriate.’ The rest of the staff did something heroic in solidarity with their colleague: they walked out, locked up the library, and said No to this unethical board action.”
We all stand against book bans in theory, but 4 librarians in Prattville, Alabama lost their jobs standing against them. Please join me in donating to the GoFundMe that will help them make ends meet in this tough time.
