@pfaffman.bluesky.literatecomputing.com@pfaffman.bluesky.literatecomputing.com → @literatecomputing.comStudents often request print when offered an e-book for assignments for one. May be a preference, but it is there. YMMV.
Show PostMy library (academic) wants to move to this e-book exclusive future, and no, as librarian am not happy because plenty of readers need/want print. Plus add that, in #academia at least, most e-book vendors suck in terms of interface, accessibility, pricing, etc. TBH, feels like giving in to extortion.
Show PostFunny to think that in my lifetime I’ve seen a shift from educators warning students not to use Google and Wikipedia as sources for academic pieces, to teachers suggesting kids check and verify their AI search results by reference to Google and Wikipedia.
Show PostIf I go to Wikipedia for info I check it. What I like is that in my experience if you find something you can evidence is not historically accurate and say so it is changed. Most academic reference sources also accept new evidence. Though in my experience their schedules to amend are much slower.
