Probably the only time you will ever see me post on here, but LinkedIn is doing the not so respectful defaulting to opting in for using our data for generative AI. I recommend everyone opt out for both privacy reasons and to stand up for letting users decide to join or not join in on data harvesting. Opt out steps: Settings and Privacy > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement (OFF)

New on the Authors Alliance blog & Substack, a piece that David Hansen and I wrote offering practical ways for libraries to illustrate to publishers and authors what would happen to the advancement of knowledge if licensing efforts to curtail AI training were successful.

Before 2022, every campus in the SUNY (State University of New York) system had its own Learning Management System( LMS) This was a significant issue for the nation’s largest university system. SUNY needed to address scattered data, inconsistent support, and unreliable security. The solution was found in D2L Brightspace, which transformed SUNY's learning experience. The new Digital Learning Environment (DLE) unified and simplified the system, turning chaos into cohesion and providing a centralized platform. #d2l #highereducation #digitaltransformation #lms https://lnkd.in/gn9uZZyr

Two takeaways about the value of info pros & law librarians from the most recent Legal Tech Week Live Journalists Roundtable: 1. Paraphrasing this comment from Robert Ambrogi: "The law librarian role becomes more important as technologies continue to evolve. They are often the 'adults in the room' who know how to use and benchmark new tools." https://lnkd.in/gEGgkf8V 2. Jean O'Grady also noted that data from a recent staffing survey showed that "law firms are shifting priorities towards more specialized and expensive support staff roles, with notable increases in library & research and IT & technology functions." https://lnkd.in/gDPYME8a. #infopros

I absolutely love Google's new AI app - NotebookLM. Thanks to Chad Mairn for posting about it. I've written about my experience with it here: FAQ: Generative AI in Law Libraries & Notebook LM "NotebookLM is an exciting new (and free!) AI application modeled on Google’s generative AI model, Gemini 1.5 Pro, that will create briefing documents, FAQs, timelines, study guides, tables of contents, and even a podcast based on your content!"

AI use is suspected in: The Court notes that the brackets around "[Judge's name]" are curious and may be evidence of carelessness. [*6] The Court also notes that the Marretts are representing themselves in this matter and may be relying on a form or AI-generated motion. Pro se pleadings are entitled to greater leniency, and I am solicitous about the obstacles pro se litigants face. Flanders v. Mass Resistance, No. 1:12-cv-00262-JAW, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 71517, at *4-5 (D. Me. May 21, 2013). At the same time, in the future, the Marretts should be more attentive when submitting pleadings to the court. (Marrett v Aroostook County Fed. Sav. & loan, 2024 US Dist LEXIS 165803, at *5-6 [D Me Sep. 16, 2024, No. 1:24-cv-00300-JAW])

Respondents come in all shapes (aka personalities) and they can all give you amazing insights but sometimes you need to be able to navigate some challenges that come with a group of people. Check out my blog post on RIVA's website for some tips!

The Court is concerned about the source of this alleged research, and it cautions parties to double-check if using artificial intelligence or any other means………. Nelson's citations contain case names only without any indication as to the applicable Reporter, Court, or year. Nevertheless, this Court attempted to find the cases using the captions as provided by Nelson. An exhaustive search on Westlaw revealed the cases cited are not part of Kentucky caselaw, if they in fact exist at all.4 For example, a search for the case captioned by Nelson as Northeast Healthcare Kentucky, L.L.C. v. Commonwealth yielded no results in Kentucky or related federal cases. A search for "Northeast Healthcare Kentucky" alone was similarly unsuccessful. We note that, although several results did appear for "Cobb v. Commonwealth" as cited by Nelson, none of those cases addressed contempt as described by Nelson. Nelson v. Citizens Deposit Bank, 2024 Ky. App. Unpub. LEXIS 323, *10

For my librarian folks (especially those on Rialto): I'll be presenting (along with my colleague Jennifer Cornell) remotely at ELUNA Learns on October 23 at 1pm EST. We're talking about best practices in the Rialto Query builder for Title Alerts and especially for the Selection Plan. Come and learn a bit about what I do every day! Build a Better Query: Crafting Effective Searches and Recommendations in Rialto. Jennifer Cornell MLIS, Content & Workflow Strategy Consultant, Clarivate; Nathaniel Gray MLIS, Senior Content & Workflow Strategy Consultant, Clarivate (Platinum Sponsor). The query builder is foundational to the Rialto selection process, serving as a robust and versatile tool that empowers libraries to tailor title recommendations to their specific needs. Whether your goal is to stay informed about the latest publications in designated subject areas, discover the most recent editions with ease, or define parameters for Demand-Driven Acquisitions (DDA) pools—the query builder is designed to handle it all. This session will provide a deep dive into the query builder, offering tips for building successful queries for advanced searches as well as creating title alerts, recommendation feeds, and selection plans. At the end of this session, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to utilize the query builder to achieve desired outcomes and support their unique collection strategy.
