Principles, Values, and the Academic Library in the Age of Trump - Joshua Kim, Inside Higher Ed

Never has the value of our academic libraries been more essential than in the age of Trump. Never have our academic librarians been more essential to the core educational, discovery, and service mission of our institutions as during the current political climate. Never has it been more important that those of us outside of the library, and especially for those of us in higher ed technology, to do whatever we can to support our academic libraries and our academic librarians. This all became clear and urgent to me after reading Barbara Fister's piece, The Media Has Always Been the Opposition Party. https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/technology-and-learning/principles-values-and-academic-library-age-trump
