Wow! Walked into a surprise party celebrating my 25 years @WisconsinLaw. Touched by my amazing colleagues' thoughtfulness. The cake even captured our law library spirit! Thank you all for making this milestone so special.

LLAW's Jenny Zook has a blog post plugging a program she's moderating at the upcoming AALL Annual Meeting - You are NOT alone: Tips for Balancing Career and Caregiving Duties ripslawlibrarian.wordpress.com/2024/07/15/you…

Excited for the SALLD Prospective Directors Workshop this Sat in Chicago! Looking forward to engaging discussions with current & aspiring academic law library directors. Thanks to @NorthwesternLaw for hosting & @AALL_ALLSIS & @HeinOnline for their support. #AALL24

As AI writing tools become more prevalent, it's vital to understand their strengths, limitations, & potential "tells." In my latest blog post, I share "Tips on Detecting & Improving AI-generated Text." The key is effective, ethical use, not just detection. go.wisc.edu/v2rfym

Looking forward to attending State Democracy Research Initiative's expert panel 'Year in Review: Democracy Litigation in SCOTUS and the States' on July 11, 3-4:15 PM. Wisconsin Idea Room, UW Madison School of Ed go.wisc.edu/n70785

Later this month, the WI State Capitol will unveil a new sculpture honoring Vel Phillips, both the 1st female African American graduate of the UW Law School & the first elected to statewide office in Wisconsin. Ceremony will take place at 5 p.m. on July 27 on the Capitol grounds.

I never recovered when I stumbled upon this:

100 year ago this week, the blanket extension of US citizenship to tribal citizens/members. Many were already US citizens by virtue of allotment “agreements.” Objections to this unilateral act remain. Consent to be governed? A few of my thoughts here: smithsonianmag.com/history/a-cent…

Congrats to my @UW_LawLibrary colleague Liz Manriquez (@librarianliz2) on being elected Vice Chair/Chair Elect of @AALLNET's Legal Information Services to the Public SIS! 🎉 LISP-SIS's mission to improve public access to legal info is vital. Liz will be a fantastic leader!

Spring is in the air @UW_LawLibrary! We're decking the halls (or the reference desk, in this case!) to gear up for graduation. To our hardworking students - keep up the great work! The finish line is in sight, and we're cheering you on every step of the way. On, Wisconsin! 🦡

@WisconsinLaw Congratulations, Ashby!

Congratulations to Ashby Fox, who received The Office of Child Care and Family Resources Outstanding Faculty and Staff Award from the UW-Madison Office of Child Care and Family Resources "for creating a welcoming and inclusive experience for parenting students in the classroom."

@WisconsinLaw I love my red Gargoyle tumbler!

Thanks! The Gargoyle also looks cute on our Stanley dupe, bookmark, keychain ... <3 (It represents indomitable strength and spirit! law.wisc.edu/about/lore/)

As the capabilities of generative AI have increased, so have concerns it will be used to manipulate voters. A look Wisconsin's new regulation. @Stafford_law #wisconsinlawyer #wisconsinlaw #legaltech #wispolitics wislawnow.com/2024/03/wiscon…

Rad but also all research should be free to everyone
