Anyway, hey libraries, now is a great time to put new language into your collection development policies allowing you to opt out of purchasing and to facilitate weeding AI generated content. You don't have to buy everything just bc your patrons might want it.

Sharing this update provided to me directly about the state of NLM and the future of NNLM, traveling exhibits, and, somehow, MedlinePlus.

I am so worried for friends and colleagues, and I'm stuck on that, but it is hard to not want to scream WTF about a MedlinePlus with no new material.
