The @cautdefencefund.bsky.social flying pickets shared solidarity from across the country as @dalfaculty.bsky.social completed week 3 of being locked out.

It was my sincere privilege to spend the day walking the pickets lines, bringing unwavering support from @umfa-faum.bsky.social

The @cautdefencefund.bsky.social flying and driving pickets brought solidarity - and a cheque for a million dollars - to support faculty at Dalhousie University who have been LOCKED OUT for the weeks of fall term

A librarian at UWinnipeg is starting work on an initiative - it sounds more like archiving/backing up CDN data in advance of our Federal election. But I’ll connect in case it’s helpful

Hey #canmedlibs and #medlibs are any of you providing disclaimer-type notices on your LibGuides or in your teaching sessions about the reliability and currency (or lack thereof) of US health resources right now (e.g. NIH, CDC, etc.)?

Shoutout to the amazing #CanMedLibs #MedLibs I work with @nomariea.bsky.social, Tyler, & Carla, for their practice-changing, earth-shattering new article in JMLA.
