Fake News and Information Disorder in the Era of Advance Information Technology
Information pollution on a worldwide scale is a new phenomenon brought on by the advancement of modern advanced social information technology. The long-term effects of disinformation efforts are the most concerning because they are difficult to evaluate in terms of their direct and indirect effects. Information disorder, also known as misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, is currently wreaking havoc in our society. It is defined as the spreading or development of inaccurate information with or without the aim to harm. Due to the extensive harm it has already done on all of these levels--politically, economically, culturally, socially, spiritually, and even psychologically--immediate action is required to stop the situation. As a result, the book Fake News and Information Disorder in the Era of Advance Information Technology is an effort to thoroughly examine information disorder, its related challenges, the role that libraries and other information organizations can play, and to outline approaches to addressing information pollution.

The Reinvention of the U.S. Academic Library
The information most essential for life in the modern world falls under the rubric of scholarly communication: the vast and ever-growing body of words and data produced by scholarly researchers, the majority of whom work in academia. Scholarly communications are fundamental to creating and informing the digital and mechanical tools we use every day, contributing to the world in which we live, advanced healthcare, macro- and micro-economic choices, environmental sustainability, concepts of justice and equity, and a fuller understanding of the human history. For the last several centuries, there have been three key components to scholarly communication: - The scholars who conduct the research, gather the data, and record their findings. - The scholarly publishers who replicate and distribute those findings. - The academic libraries that provide connection between the fruits of scholarly communications and the researchers, instructors, students, and members of the general public who then use that information to advance learning and make decisions both personal and public. Focusing on U.S. academic libraries, The Reinvention of the U.S. Academic Library begins by providing a concise history of the traditional role and function of academic libraries from their earliest times up to the dawn of theDigital Age and the spread of digital technology into all aspects of academic research and scholarly communication. This introduction is followed by chapters analyzing how digital technology has transformed, over the course of a few swift decades, not only the role and function of academic libraries, but also the nature of scholarly communication itself. Specifically, The Reinvention of the U.S. Academic Library will consider how digital technology has changed the way academic libraries: - Acquire and exercise bibliographic control over collections. - Provide equitable access to information. Allocate and utilize library space. Instruct and guide students, faculty, and others. - Relate to the larger academic and scholarly publishing communities. Sustain scholarly communications.

The Case Against Disclosure
The Case Against Disclosure: Defending Creative Autonomy in the Age of AI challenges the prevailing assumption that creators must disclose their methods when using artificial intelligence. As AI tools become deeply embedded in writing, research, coding, and artistic production, institutions, publishers, and the U.S. Copyright Office have moved toward transparency mandates, requiring creators to document and reveal the extent of AI assistance in their work. This book argues that such demands are neither ethically justified nor practically enforceable, representing an unnecessary and damaging encroachment on the creative process. Transparency, often framed as a safeguard for authenticity and accountability, is instead an instrument of control-one that reinforces outdated notions of originality while failing to account for the realities of AI-driven authorship. The Case Against Disclosure dismantles the myth that process defines authorship, asserting that credibility stems from the willingness to take responsibility for a work, not from exhaustive documentation of how it was made. Through legal analysis, historical parallels, and contemporary case studies, this book exposes how transparency mandates create unnecessary barriers, restricting creative autonomy and imposing impractical bureaucratic oversight on the production of knowledge and culture. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and professionals in media, law, and technology, this work presents a forceful argument against institutional overreach, advocating for a future in which creators retain full control over their methods. It is both a scholarly intervention and a polemic, making the case that the right to opaque creation is fundamental to intellectual and artistic freedom in the AI age.
Assessing Academic Library Collections for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Wren The Mind Allows To Sing
We set out to read the three books of Peter O'Leary's trilogy on consciousness: Phosphorescence of Thought, Earth Is Best and The Hidden Eyes of Things. Read we did, thoughtful and mirthful, from the 1st of May through the 9th of June, 2023, 40 days and 40 nights.Here is our logbook, and our dove.Billie Chernicoff, 12 June 2023This work we've been pondering never loses its tensegrity, to invoke Buckminster Fuller. Its openness is a fretwork at times. Close weave at others. Caution, I tell myself, looking at the brilliance of critical approach and amplifying notation, the voices joined herein. Is this the charisma of age? No, just aging. To realize the world as a nine-year-old once aspired to, that of Bennet Cerf and Arlene Frances, mid-century Manhattan. Scary, long night, we endured before the dawn of pop art. No, this isn't self-indulgence on my part, Peter's range of voices sideswipes gangster movies and Spenser's Faerie Queene to our shared delight.Latter-day Goethe. It fits. The natural world, mushrooms and birds, the classical, Peter's Latin and Greek, his soulful sojourn in Vienna an "Italian Journey." Or so we discover in this colloquy when dialogue resounds rather than resolves. A Time Machine, it feels like, returning to Berkeley in the late fifties with Jack Spicer, Robert Duncan, Robin Blaser, and thus, to that last serrated edge of Modernism. Still shaken to the core by Yeats's late poems, especially compared to Pound's Personae and the impending fragmentation of his Cantos alongside Eliot's midlife abandonment of poetry. Nearly wrecked upon this reef, we see the lighthouse in time, manned by Charles Olson, and how our poetry can contain a prospect, it can, it will be a projection in and of its glorious self. -Thomas Meyer
