Today's post is a little outside my normal scope, but it is important. I had a meeting with James Chambers, Senior Director of Editorial and Publishing Operations at Infobase. They are home to many databases based on information created by human experts.
They are extremely interested in the information literacy of today's students and want to connect with us. They want to make sure their resources serve our needs. Please pass this link on to everyone and anyone in your institutions and networks who might want to chat with Chambers.
On a side note, it was great to talk to someone from a paid database who was as appalled about the infiltration of AI into our resources as I am.
Below is an introduction from Chambers and an invitation to talk to him. Please pass this on to you database people and school library friends.

My name is James Chambers. As Senior Director of Editorial and Publishing Operations at Infobase, I'm seeking insight to better understand the current educational landscape, how institutions are engaging with evolving technology, and how content and technology can best be positioned to support student success and lifelong learning. May I contact you to schedule 30 minutes to speak about current education and reference needs and trends at your institution? I am particularly interested in artificial intelligence, career discovery and exploration, information literacy, primary source documents, what fosters student and user engagement, and emerging content needs in core subject areas, such as health, history, literature, and science.
