Today we celebrate the life and work of Joseph Weizenbaum (1923 - 2008), computer scientist and social critic.

We were fortunate to publish an extended interview with Weizenbaum: Islands in the Cyberstream (2015).

In “Against AI: Critical Refusal in the Library,” I examine LIS as in need of a values-realignment, asking readers to refuse the technosolutionism we are so often offered in place of human-centered possibilities, like taking racism, climate change, and labor rights seriously

Lovely to see this little @libraryjuicepress.bsky.social book I contributed to in print! ✨

Commercial platforms are increasingly shaping library operations - my chapter focuses on how crackdowns on crawling & API access limit what is preserved by deposit libraries 🚫

Sophie was working the @libraryjuicepress.bsky.social booth, & I was excited to find out all books were 50% off! Censorship is a Drag is sold out but you can order it at the dsct! I was even more jazzed to find these 2 books I’ve been wanting to read for a while! Small but good haul today #alaac25
