Subject: Re: Librarians using Claude Code?
I believe I am the third person to express this... Chiming in over email with possible interest in this possible group is not effective and spams the inbox for those who are NOT interested.
Some better avenues as a way to opt in (all which have been articulated):
1. slack - there is even a slack channel for ai.
2. someone start a separate listserv.
3. someone plan a meeting. In that space establish a better way to communicate.

Subject: REMINDER: Call for members: LD4 2026 Conference Planning Committee
Dear colleagues,
We are writing to invite you to participate in the planning process for LD4 2026, the annual conference of the LD4 community which works together to advance GLAM practices with a focus on linked open data. The next LD4 Conference will take place online from 28 - 30 SEPTEMBER 2026. We hope to design an engaging and informative conference by convening a diverse group of volunteers bringing together a wide range of skill levels, interests, and backgrounds.
Please fill out this brief form<https://forms.gle/hutCjCg6mJ4b985e8> to indicate your interest in helping to plan and run the 2026 LD4 Conference. All selected volunteers will automatically be a part of the Programming Committee, which vets proposals for conference sessions, works on scheduling concerns, as well as other tasks relating to the conference program. In addition, volunteers will serve on one or more subcommittees of their choosing: Outreach Committee, Technology & Accessibility Committee, and Social Committee. Volunteers will be expected to attend a monthly programming committee meeting (1 hour), a monthly subcommittee meeting (1 hour), and complete any supporting tasks needed for the committees' work.
Here are the scopes of these committees:
* Outreach Committee: Draft and distribute communications and promotional materials relating to the conference. Develop and maintain content for the conference website. Identify possibilities for partnerships with groups outside of LD4. Help with facilitation of sessions during the conference.
* Technology & Accessibility Committee: ensure the seamless operation of conference platforms and applications, including Zoom, Slack, Sched, and YouTube, while maintaining a strong commitment to accessibility. Develop guidelines for platform use, troubleshoot technical issues, and verify that accessibility measures from previous conferences are effectively implemented. Identify areas for improvement and ensure that all technological and accessibility features function properly throughout the event.
* Social Committee: develop informal social programming for the conference. Suggest updates and additions to conference participation guidelines and code of conduct. Help with facilitation of social programs and other sessions during the conference.
To see detailed role descriptions and express your interest to participate, please complete the form below by 8 JUNE 2026. Volunteers will be notified of the chairs' decisions by 15 JUNE 2026. The committee will begin to meet in the last week of JUNE 2026 and all volunteers will participate in planning, program development, and supporting conference sessions.
Committee Volunteer Form: https://forms.gle/hutCjCg6mJ4b985e8
More information on the LD4 Conference (including last year's conference) is available at ld4.io<https://sites.google.com/stanford.edu/ld4-community-site/home>.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi all!
Thanks for your patience while I thought through the best way to approach this!
I think because there are a number of people I know that are not on this listserv, I wanted to start something separate. I was able to setup a separate listserv here at northwestern. Everyone who showed interest earlier should be getting an email shortly! Hopefully this works for people, can pivot if needed and this doesn’t feel like the right solution.
If you are new here or want to share with others — this is where you can sign up: https://listserv.it.northwestern.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=LIBRARY-LLM&A=1
Looking forward to more discussions!

Another suggestion, perhaps better than a listserv, might be creating a dedicated channel in the main C4L Slack server. I imagine that might allow more organic discussion, while also allowing others to join at will.

As previously noted, the Slack has two existing channels: #generative-ai and #ai-ml-dl. I renewed the invite link I posted last month, it will now work through June 20th.

Another suggestion, perhaps better than a listserv, might be creating a dedicated channel in the main C4L Slack server. I imagine that might allow more organic discussion, while also allowing others to join at will.
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi all!
Thanks for your patience while I thought through the best way to approach this!
I think because there are a number of people I know that are not on this listserv, I wanted to start something separate. I was able to setup a separate listserv here at northwestern. Everyone who showed interest earlier should be getting an email shortly! Hopefully this works for people, can pivot if needed and this doesn’t feel like the right solution.

Hi Mackenzie, Alison, & David,
Please count me in! I am leading our AI augmentation efforts at Stanford’s Lane medical library, and I’m also looking for a community to share best/emerging practices. (If a community does not yet exist, let’s start one!)
