Ugh, apparently #JStor is showing a new AI tool down our throats. Our resources admin says they may be able to turn it off, and while I would be good with that, I get the feel my other "more hip" colleagues will be all gung ho over it.

*sigh*

@pheonix This is why #JSTOR's contents deserve to get #torrented and their infrastructure burn to the ground!

“To reduce exposure to harmful substances, producers must look beyond greenwashing and advocate for systemic change—whether through stricter regulations, scientific advancements in hazard assessment, or the revival of traditional, non-toxic alternatives. Until then, it remains up to consumers to critically assess the products they bring into their homes and onto their bodies.” https://daily.jstor.org/toxic-but-it-has-a-leaf-on-the-label/ via #JSTOR Daily

Just learned the #Constellate platform put together by Ithaka and #JSTOR for #TextMining is being sunsetted next year.

Apparently, #HathiTrust will also discontinue support of the HathiTrust Research Centre (its text mining platform).

I hope some of the data download features Constellate allowed (even for non-members) will continue... they're useful and important!
