Thursday was a day of traveling and settling into Denver.

“Twas the night before #alamw18” sounds like the perfect beginning to an old fable.

Well. It wouldn’t be the night before #alamw18 without one of these. #mollyandminerva pic.twitter.com/wPZ7SIFOfi

And you realize another hurdle might be the snowstorm hitting the Midwest.

TFW all your coworkers are snowed in in Chicago so you might have to set up and run the #alamw18 booth (#1115) yourself but then maybe one coworker managed to get out to help? pic.twitter.com/hZxdh6MGTu

But once you arrive to your hotel, you begin to realize you’re really at #alamw18.

After you’re all settled, make sure to network and buy your colleagues a drink if possible.

And by drink, we mean this type of drinking.

And when you’re not staying hydrated, it’s good to find the hidden food nooks around the convention center.

And on your way to the convention center tomorrow, make sure you play the classic game of “Librarian or local?”

And let us not forget #ALApetsleftbehind! (Sorry to all ALA staff pets who will be upset that we’re not at home.)

So, what cats (and doggos and birds and…) are YOU leaving behind to go to #alamw18? And will they forgive you?

Here's mine. pic.twitter.com/9pOF1pFY9v

Douglas Soule writes: “To support some of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ most prominent and controversial K–12 education laws, Florida has agreed to spend millions of dollars on a service it says is a tool for transparency. But free expression advocates warn it could be a vehicle for censorship. In a contract signed this September, the Florida Department of Education agreed to pay up to $15.6 million over four years to Maryland-based education technology company Trinity Education Group. The company has been tapped to develop a ‘statewide, centralized, easily accessible’ system for people to review and even object to instructional materials and library books in Florida school districts.”

Olivia Olander and Jeremy Gorner write: “Starting this year, public libraries in Illinois had a choice: Adopt principles against book banning or give up state grants. [About 40] school districts, many of them in deeply conservative areas of south and central Illinois, appear to have taken the latter option. Administrators at some of those districts acknowledged being concerned about giving up any measure of control on what books are allowed on their schools’ library shelves. Some 700 school districts statewide have regularly applied for state library grant funding in the last two years.”

Despina Gerasimidou and Maela Rakočević Uvodić write: “Displaced persons are scattered all over the world looking for the safest place for them and their families to settle and when they move to a new country are faced with legal, cultural, educational, and economic challenges, while in need of information, guidance, and support. The new IFLA Guidelines for Libraries Supporting Displaced Persons showcase how libraries can champion their core mission for universal and equitable access to information, ideas, and works of imagination, aiming at social, educational, cultural, democratic, and economic well-being.”

Rebecca Bryant writes: “In 2021, the University of Calgary Libraries in Alberta launched a multilingual reference chatbot by leveraging a commercial product that combines a large language model with retrieval-augmented generation technology. The chatbot is trained on the library’s own web content, including LibGuides and operating hours, and is accessed from the library’s website. Before launch, the implementation team estimated that the chatbot could answer 14%–24% of reference chat questions, but today the chatbot answers about 50% of all questions with a rating of at least 4/5.”
