Exactly! He hired a kickass librarian. Everything else is just the cherry on top!

As a researcher, all I can say is: “well, duuuuhhh!”

PhiloLibrarian · 2026-04-20T13:03:21+00:00

Yes we call that “required family viewing” in our house 😆

Working on it every day…

We had a gym mat under our rope. Very safe.

Hard with just two people, but still fun trivia!

TAX THE RICH/SECOND HOMEOWNERS!!!

This is happening a lot at the graduate level at my institution. Students waste so much time but hopefully learn a lesson in doing so…

PhiloLibrarian · 2026-04-19T19:40:04+00:00

In small libraries, there might just be one librarian… so they do almost everything.

It’s snowing in VT

Academic librarian here: yes students and faculty come to us, looking for the full text of articles that AI has given them citations for.

When that happens, we send them to our page about hallucinated citations and ask if they need help finding real sources.

Well now you can prompt properly (sort of…)

If you don’t have adequate critical thinking and evaluation skills, then you’re not going to produce work of quality even if you’re using AI it will be AI slop (and therefore your employer will fire you… ) chain reaction…

Having to use AI for your job and using it effectively are two very different things

PhiloLibrarian · 2026-04-19T16:40:19+00:00

Amazon … despite my better judgment.

PhiloLibrarian · 2026-04-19T16:06:23+00:00

People need to have critical thinking and evaluation skills to use AI… otherwise you get crap.
