My heart goes out to US GKIM professionals who have been asked to withdraw or modify data. I can't imagine how devastated and angry you must feel. 💔
CILIP are asking for info professionals to inform them if they have been impacted by modifications made by the new US administration. Further info and a link to an anonymous form available below:
Anonymous survey: #CILIP urges members & wider information profession community to share examples of how content, reports, datasets, evidence & tools which have been removed, hidden or modified by the new administration in the US are impacting their work: www.cilip.org.uk/news/693964/...
