Shadow Libraries put users and institutions at risk in the way they provision their collections, but IF THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY WASN’T TERRIBLY BROKEN THEY WOULDN’T BE HIGHLY USED AND NEEDED. Not only is their access more equitable but usually their search capability is much more user-friendly. Fix the underlying problem or security incursions to enable equitable access will not go away!

Intimate connection between Wikipedia and Wikidata and #LLMs and #AI. E.g., Wikipedia has a large gender gap. #NASIG2024

Rightful worry about corporate influence on search results. E.g., when someone searching for abortion info. and most prominent results frequently are pro life rather than pro abortion. #NASIG2024

"Ideological dialects shape keywords." Very interesting take on understanding the power of Internet search. @ftripodi #NASIG2024
