Are academic libraries skill-building differently in the age of generative AI or applying similar principles to the past? Through critical reflection, we explore this question in our open-access paper: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #libraries #education #critical #reflection #generativeAI

Rest in peace Baek Se-hee ❤️ I have this fragment from 'I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki' saved in my collection of book quotes on my phone. #booksky💙📚

Moments of happiness in research...when a book chapter you wrote about Russian propaganda is cited in a journal article on Lithuanian political discourse. As the daughter of a Lithuanian, I feel especially proud that my research might be contributing in some small way to important work 🇱🇹❤️

The new Penguin Archive Series is pretty nice. Feels slightly surreal though reading classics that now need to contain warning statements against AI training systems. #booksky💙📚

Super fascinating book, read it in one sitting. As someone who has only lived through the contemporary university, it was interesting to read about the history of universities in Australia and the effects of government policies. I hope universities always remain a public good. #booksky💙📚

Wondering if anyone can suggest research for me to read on predictions/recommendations on what the future university workforce will look like? e.g. academic vs professional staff, third space work. Particularly interested in the Australian context but I'll read anything. #academicsky

Reading Don Delillo's White Noise. "Tuition at the College-on-the-Hill is fourteen thousand dollars, Sunday brunch included. I sense there is a connection between this powerful number and the way the students arrange themselves physically in the reading areas of the library." #booksky 💙📚

"You can no longer make students do the reading or the writing. So what’s left? Only this: give them work they want to do. And help them want to do it. What, again, is education? The non-coercive rearranging of desire." - D. Graham Burnett www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
