There’s a lot of complex stuff going on but gosh yes basically this.
I feel like "academic hiring" discourse is always kind of downstream of the fact that in the 50s we started building a giant public system to make a college education almost universally available and in the 80s and 90s we started taking it apart to go back to the only-the-rich model

Becoming a tenured professor is a bit like becoming an NBA forward or a successful recording artist. (Or a novelist or a working fine artist or a pediatric cardiologist.) The supply is massively greater than the demand, and everyone is excellent. This is a hedge fund of yourself, not a career goal.

A friend made a video clip if you want to watch my UN remarks.

Such a "pinch me am I dreaming" moment today. That's me, at the podium of the UN General Assembly, speaking on behalf of IFLA and the world's libraries. What an honor to contribute to the WSIS+20 Plenary and to represent!

Of those I've seen, such are framed as benefits delivered by the publisher.

It's fascinating to see emerging defenses of the utility of barriers after decades of arguments that the end goal should be to make everything as open and reusable as possible with minimal friction.

I’m turning down journal reviews if the journal doesn’t update activities to ORCID. I get a lot of requests and I need to prioritize somehow. I ain’t collecting “reviewer certifications” from Genome biology and scientific reports, etc., when Nature Family and ACS give me credit for my time.

I am so charmed by this. A great reminder that the world is so much bigger than our own part.

AI Literacy, agents, peer review: Insights from the library with Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe | Chats Ep3
What happens when #ai agents become the primary way #researchers interact with scholarly content? Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe (@Illinois1867 and Apoorva Shah (VP Product Management, @johnwileysons explore how #ai is transforming #libraries publishing, and #research discovery. From debating whether AI handles #peerreview better than #humans to how agents are replacing #web browsers for research, this episode tackles the fundamental questions facing academia. What's the role of a #librarian when AI can instantly synthesize information? How do publishers enhance the AI-driven ecosystem? 👉 Learn more about @johnwileysons AI initiatives: https://www.wiley.com/about-us/ai-resources/ Key topics: *Understanding AI agents as research assistants *The evolving role of libraries and librarians *Why peer review isn't AI's biggest threat to publishing *Digital rights and authentication for AI agents *Building AI literacy programs *Publisher-library collaboration in the AI era Essential viewing for: *Libraries navigating the AI transformation *Publishers rethinking business models *Researchers developing AI literacy *Institutions making strategic AI investments This conversation challenges assumptions while offering practical insights for anyone at the intersection of AI and scholarly communication.

This was the day Apoorva Shah and I discovered we could literally talk for hours about discovery, researchers, and AI. Probably good they edited to just a few highlights!

100% agree with you that "am not sure a license change is the technical solution to this social problem."

I think is true in software. But, with text, one can't prevent fascists fr reading, citing, quoting, etc. You could not give them add'l permissions - but, none the of the CC licenses are fit for that purpose. Returning to custom permissions statements for text would in effect re-enclose scholarship.

In the realm of text (in the US), it may not be licensing, though, since training AI has been found to be a transformative use. That's a copyright limitation/exception, not a license-based permission. I see too much focus on CC license blaming these days...

Unfortunately, while GetFTR has great uptake with publishers, there's still effort to be made with aggregators (e.g., Muse).

I thought it was doing better than your experience. Sorry to hear...

I highly recommend installing the GetFTR extension if you haven't ashtray. It's not prefect but works much of the time.

Yes, and it is very hard to smooth those paths. SeamlessAccess and GetFTR have helped a lot. But, at this point, many folks have already formed opinions of how hard it is. And, in reality, it is hard.

And, if the original poster didn't inclulde the DOI, it's even more work. With the DOI and the GetFTR browser extension, you get about the same level of effort. But, you need the DOI and the extension.

As a librarian, I can assure you with a high level of confidence that many of those people do have access. It's way less work to ask for the PDF than navigate through authentication, interfaces, etc. Same thing re high levels of SciHub in zip codes in US that are clearly research university towns.

That too

I can see how that wasn't clear!

Too many ppl these days thinking (hoping?) a CC license overrides fair use.
