There may be some brief power dips in the library this evening from 18:00 onwards.
Don't panic!
We will make sure there are paper sheets available so you can sign your books out if the self-service machine goes off.

We have DynaMed in addition to UpToDate! Each has its fans at Manx Care but we hope colleagues will try them out and tell us what you think. There are different ways to access these point of care tools, the new library display teaches you how!

The fact that GenAI often gets 95% of something 'right' is really problematic. Because people don't robustly check it, and so the 5% that is utter nonsense slips through, causing untold credibility damage.
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

What's THE best way to research?
There isn't one! But we don't always make that clear.
Today, at Islands of Innovation, Stacey talked about focusing on the searcher before we look at the searches - here are some audience contributions from the session.
So, tell us, where do you do your best work?

Four Canadian authors argue that the harm is quite significant, especially to more vulnerable populations such as seniors and those with heart conditions. What do you think?
Viewpoint: Daylight saving time (DST) causes acute and chronic disruptions to circadian rhythms, leading to adverse health effects, and should be abolished in favor of permanent standard time (ST).
