In her view, we need more « journalism » to document what is happening, data and stories, and research on what libraries do for democracy, on censorship. She also condemned the silence of higher-education circles, calling scholars to get involved directly, on the strike line #ACSI2025 #CAIS2025 5/5

She stresses the need to better understand of what are infrastructures and what dismantling libraries really means—their capacity for sharing, their organizational structures, and everything that makes their vital work possible yet is now under threat. #ACSI2025 #CAIS2025 4/5

@edrabinski.bsky.social portrays libraries as a decommodification machine: an institution that converts resources that could be monetized into public goods and helps solve concrete community problems. #ACSI2025 #CAIS2025 3/5

@edrabinski.bsky.social recalled that yet, countless examples show how libraries continue to serve the common good even “at the end of the world”: food assistance, support people who are incarcerated, preserve local memory, lend tools + household items, facilitate sharing #ACSI2025 #CAIS2025 2/5
