My colleague points out here that possibly one in seven requests to our library now may be assisted by LLMs.

When those point to fictional documents, that's a huge staff time drain. There's often no quick way to check if an undigitized primary source doc exists beyond physically pulling some boxes.

Gene Boy Came Home (2007). Another rich if upsetting one. It's about a 17yo who moved from the Odanak Indian Reserve to NY for work, joined the marines, and fought in Vietnam. Despite a gentle tone, the man's memories combine with documentary evidence to create a searing indictment of the US army.
