Nina BernsteinThe Guerrilla-Librarian Resistance“My dad’s from Bosnia, and that’s informed my outlook on what can be irretrievably lost,” he said, citing the destruction of nearly two million books when Sarajevo’s National Library was shelled in 1992. Now he’s teaching dozens of Americans to save data from their own rogue government <a href="https://journa.host/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libraries</a> <a href="https://journa.host/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOGE</a> <a href="https://journa.host/tags/RESIST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RESIST</a> <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/the-data-hoarders-resisting-trumps-purge" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/the-data-hoarders-resisting-trumps-purge</a>

Nemo_bis 🌈I've received my copy of the complete (?) <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/PepperCarrot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PepperCarrot</a> collection.Now I only need to mobilise my friends in the Helmet <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libraries</a> to get it added to the catalogue... (It was quite the splurge so I wouldn't have bought them for myself.)The delivery to Finland from the UK passed customs automatically. The sender was Ingram UK. I didn't even know they were active in the UK. (I only know Ingram for work reasons.)

This isn’t just collateral damage from wide-ranging realignment of budgets, which would be bad enough, but an orchestrated attack on academic freedom, research funding, and the institutional autonomy that underpins intellectual progress…Resistance is most effective when collective action amplifies individual efforts rather than occurring in isolation. This means fostering more frequent and open dialogue across all sectors of the academic and research community [e.g. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libraries</a> and <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/publishers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#publishers</a>]."<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Censorship</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DefendResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DefendResearch</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Takedowns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Takedowns</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a>

Forrest BrownPublic <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libraries</a> should host <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> servers. I really think this could be a good thing.The county (or city/town depending on how it works in your area) IT department could host it, and people would use their library card to access the server. Or, alternatively, perhaps some kind of private-public partnership could be arranged where a non-profit organization handles the hosting and library staff can administer it.My thinking is: <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> platforms like Mastodon offer a high quality, ad-free social media experience, but there are barriers to entry that will keep most people from benefitting from it. It’s been discussed ad nauseam, but there are the technical barriers. I don’t see financial barriers discussed as often though. It costs money to maintain your own server, and even with many people chipping in, most people aren’t going to pay a few bucks or more a month to use a social media platform. There are of course free client apps, but the best ones cost money, at least in my opinion.Maybe this isn’t the strongest point to make at a time when libraries are struggling to stay funded and are likely at risk of losing a significant amount of funding, but assuming that’s a problem with a solution, allocating funds to <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#library</a> budgets to run a Mastodon server (I’m guessing a relatively small line item) seems doable. Content moderation is another issue to be dealt with, but again, I think one not without a solution.Thoughts?

Kristina MasonI'm seeing something rather troubling happening with the Amazon boycott. If, as an alternative to Kindle, you are stealing ebooks instead, THAT IS NOT HELPING. All you're doing is screwing over authors, who often have their books available elsewhere anyway. If they only have it on Amazon and nowhere else, try to contact them. Alternatively, your library may have the ebook (or may be able to get it) and you can read it as many times as you want! <a href="https://ausglam.space/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://ausglam.space/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libraries</a>
