Roger Summit, who invented an early online search service, named "Dialog" has died at age 95. You remember Dialog, don't you? You'd have a research question. So you'd go talk to the librarian who has been trained on how to formulate efficient search queries. (You need them to be efficient because you paid by the search. Or was it by the number of hits you got?) The librarian would do all the Boolean operator magic and check the punctuation, then press "Enter." And, yes, it was amazingly fast. But you'd likely need to wait until tomorrow to get your printed out results because the computer terminal was on a shared dial-up connection, and because your request was in a queue with other requests. These were the good old days. Nothing artificial about the intelligence of those librarians, either. #ComputerHistory #InformationScience #Librarians #Libraries #Dialog #Computers #Databases

Censorship and the Role of Librarians in the Fight for Democracy Last month, U.S. librarian Amanda Jones delivered a keynote to the Libraries Connected annual symposium in the U.K., where she spoke about the importance of defending the freedom to read. "When we allow political groups to pull books that feature marginalized characters, we are not just removing ink and paper. We are sending a clear, devastating message to students that their stories, their identities, and their very lives do not matter," Jones said. "We cannot, and we will not, abide by that." The post Censorship and the Role of Librarians in the Fight for Democracy appeared first on Publishing Perspectives. https://publishingperspectives.com/2026/07/censorship-and-the-role-of-librarians-in-the-fight-for-democracy/ #AmandaJones #FreedomtoRead #Librarians #Libraries

Here's your reminder to go and join your local library if you're able. Libraries provide so much more than books, and are such an important part of a community. Especially these days, it's essential to support them, and the librarians, library assistants etc that work there(so many of which are leftist, genuinely kind, helpful and caring). #jointhelibrary #libraries #librarians #librariansofmastodon #librariesrule #librariesareawesome #antifa #fightfascism #booksareessential #BooksAreMagic

U.S. Politics, librarians Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
In the same vein as above, via Kelly Jensen: "These five librarians are running for state political offices across the country. Here's why they're running, and why librarians make good candidates." Keeping in mind that *some* librarians out there are white supremacists and Nazi supporters, Kelly's point is very much still valid: just, vet your own librarian candidate before you support them. #USPolitics #Midterms #Voting #Democracy #Librarians https://bookriot.com/librarians-running-for-office-2026/

Penguin Random House Urges U.S. Congress to Reject Republican Book Banning Bill "The bill creates strong incentives for schools to remove or avoid a wide range of books and materials," wrote PRH SVP Skip Dye in a letter to lawmakers, adding that, if passed, the law would also force educators and librarians to self-censor, resulting in "further marginalization of vulnerable communities.” The post Penguin Random House Urges U.S. Congress to Reject Republican Book Banning Bill appeared first on Publishing Perspectives. https://publishingperspectives.com/2026/04/penguin-random-house-urges-u-s-congress-to-reject-republican-book-banning-bill/ #BookBanning #Diversity #FreedomtoRead #Librarians #PenguinRandomHouse
