Scholars - if you're publishing articles behind a paywall, why not make your work accessible to everyone by also publishing a preprint version?

We used to tell students to trust .gov sites. Not anymore. When official pages rewrite timelines and push partisan messages, librarians must shift our practice. Credibility isn’t automatic. We now teach students to verify even “official” sources. New post: open.substack.com/pub/aischool... #tlsky
It’s Time to Break Up with .gov
When official sites spread bias and misinformation, librarians have to stop calling them trustworthy and start teaching students how to hold them accountable.

Am wondering -- maybe the American Library Association needs to develop its own privacy-focused web browser....

Next time you launch a new unit, try this: engaging students with big, exciting themes instead of going straight to vocabulary! @amirtaron.bsky.social explains how. 🚀

Setting Up an Engaging Launch for a New Unit in Middle School
By encouraging students to think deeply at the beginning of units, teachers can help them see why the material is relevant to their lives.

PAY ATTENTION. The lawless self-enrichment is staggering.

Tomorrow is a critical day for democracy in court. Compare how the Washington Post framed it vs Democracy Docket.

Right now, fearless, pro-democracy media is more important than legacy media platitudes. Sign up now to say informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0?ut...

Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling."
