Again, this is THE opportunity to make your voices heard in Texas!

FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO READ!!!

They'll keep banning your voices and experiences, all the while eroding and semblance of growth within education and literacy!

Do The New AI Features in These Familiar Databases Actually Help Researchers? katinamagazine.org/content/articl… #AI #libraries #search

Text Shot: Across all three platforms, the strongest use case for these AI features is early-stage research: learning unfamiliar vocabulary, assessing whether a document is relevant, or locating a useful passage in a long text. Database embedded tools can lower the barrier for novice researchers because they operate in databases libraries already license.

Their limitations are equally clear. None of these tools is well suited for expert, transparent, or reproducible searching.

With love comes grief. With grief comes growth for Rob Malone. It happens after his beloved Anna drowns while feeding the swans on the lake near their potato farm. Ardently, he keeps her alive in spirit wearing stylish hats.

Equally poignant is Rob's compassion for one of the swans, Uncle Tallulah, when he suffers a broken left wing and has it woefully dragging down beside him, feathers fraying.

Rob must choose between a mercy killing or having the wing surgically removed. This novel becomes an honest-to-god tearjerker while Rob agonizes over what life would be like for a swan with one wing.

The farmer and the swan get safely beyond that on a journey of mutual survival. En route, the sly and saddened Uncle Tallulah will steal your heart away. You'll never forget him. You'll surely want to say a prayer for him when hope arises that he'll fly over the lake once again.
