|
by Justin Hoenke
|
| Justin Hoenke, who has worked in public libraries in the U.S. and New Zealand, has been talking to all types of library staffers for A Day in the Life, his column in Information Today. Among other things, he asks them about their typical days, moments that made them proud, their current projects, and how they see the library field evolving. Here's a look at his columns from April 2023 to September 2023, which have been lightly edited and excerpted for the web. |

| AI in Publishing: It's Already Here, and It's Complicated |
|
by Terry Ballard
|
| I was recently invited to attend a webinar sponsored by Publishers Weekly on the topic of artificial intelligence in the publishing industry. If this had come a year ago, I likely would have passed, but lately I have found out that this concept does not necessarily bring on the night terrors. AI is a colossal topic, but by breaking it down to study one facet at a time, it can be comprehensible to the tech-savvy reader. |
