Seriously, people...there's SO MUCH GOOD CONTENT here. Truly global, something like half of our sessions have a non-US focus. If you want to see what the global research ecosystem is talking about, this is where you can see it. social.niso.org/@NISOInfo/1130

Hey Libraries and Librarians! I and @pomerantz have a new book coming out in March 2025 called _Standards_ from @themitpress.

I'm really proud of the book, I think we've managed to write something fun and educational and even a bit provocative. Here's hoping it fits into your collection somewhere and is worth a pre-order for your library!

No, Acrobat, I really don't need any generative AI for editing a PDF.

Seriously, WTF could that possibly be useful for?

Am at my parents house, and turned on the TV for background noise. The last two commercials I've seen have both been for “We Help You Publish Your Book" services, one generic and one catering to “Christian Authors".

Is this a common scam these days? I assume it's a publishing mill that takes anything given to them and charges the author for stuff, but…let's just say it's not what I expected to see during a late night professional wrestling broadcast.
