Oh just fabulous. 🙄 AI-generated personality tests in job applications have arrived. Just helped a library guest apply for a job and the test was incomprehensible from beginning to end. Of course the local outfit had outsourced the application process to a third party company, who had outsourced the personalty/morality tests to yet ANOTHER company. This ordeal was for a job as a JANITOR. #library#librarian#AI@librarians
The only 24-hour library on Vancouver Island, the #VIU university library is steps away from the pro-Palestinian #protest encampment that was set up at the VIU quad early Tuesday morning.
The statement did not give a reason for the increased #restrictions.
In elementary (primary) school during second grade (year 2) I checked out the book “How to run a railroad” the entire school year. I kept renewing it. The following year in third grade (year 3) I was banned from the library. My mother quickly resolved the issue and was pissed at the school for trying to ban a student for wanting to read.
Looking back I was clearly in the wrong, but I thank her anyway.
The former Hutchesontown District Library on the southside of Glasgow. It was designed by J.R. Rhind in a French Renaissance style and was built in 1904. It's topped with a winged figure by William Kellock Brown.
My local #library didn't have a copy of Jordan Mechner's #book Replay: Memoir of an Uprooted Family, so I submitted a purchase request. I'm really looking forward to reading it.
I'll admit it, I got the idea from someone else on Mastodon, and I can't remember who. Hopefully someone reading this will be inspired to check out their own library. They are precious resources and should be supported with our patronage.
It's aimed at anyone who fits the aforementioned bill and is interesting in exploring the mathematical potential of their stories, objects and exhibitions, with participation in Maths Week Scotland in mind.
You can still read and learn for free if you can’t afford a book. Read a book. Get a library card. Teach your kids that libraries are theirs to explore.
I'm looking to borrow (it's $200 and I'm not buying it) a copy of an extremely niche book from a law school library for a week or so. It's called "Cybersecurity and the Courthouse: Safeguarding the Judicial Process".
Archivist/Photographer question: My Dad, who was a professional photographer for 50 years, has moved into a memory care facility. I'm trying to organize his catalog. For photographers with 1TB+ of photos, do you use a system? Archivists same question. I may build a sqlite application to identify images by keywords but flat file system isn't going to work. Could be by date? by subject? by something else? Storage is a 2TB NVME SSD in USB-3.0 adapter.
