Number 122 in an ongoing experiment to put out a playlist of 7 songs every Wednesday, sometimes with an explanation. This week’s list is excellent! And hugely influenced by being at All Together Now last weekend.

"Trust and Integrity: A Research Imperative." A joint statement from the Association of Research Libraries (#ARL), International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers (#STM), Association of College and Research Libraries (#ACRL), Society for Scholarly Publishing (#SSP), and Association of University Presses (#AUPresses).

(Yes, it's rare to see #libraries and #publishers issue joint statements.)

"This year has brought unprecedented challenges to the U.S. research enterprise – sweeping federal funding cuts, capricious reductions in the federal workforce, and destabilizing attacks on universities, laboratories, and federal research agencies…In response to these challenges, we believe in and support: Public investment in basic science and the humanities…The need for broad access to validated, trusted information…Protecting and advancing freedom of speech…and ensuring research and scholarship remain free from political interference."

Trust and Integrity: A Research Imperative - The Scholarly Kitchen

Libraries and publishers represent the interests of thousands of authors, readers, scientists, researchers, students, and lifelong learners. Today, we stand united to face the mounting risks to public trust and the social benefit that research delivers. 

The Scholarly Kitchen

This week’s seven song playlist (number 117) is a long one - over 40 minutes!

Franz Ferdinand, Tyler the Creator, Duran Duran, and more… it’s all good.
