Just when you thought it was safe to dive into MeSH terms...
I'm popping up a bit late to give a peek at what I've found for new #2026MeSH descriptors. Behold, a #medlibs and adjacent #expertsearching thread!

Library land 📚 and genAI critics, I seek a long-form post that I neglected to save to my Zotero library....
It was a professor who was reacting to the inclusion of ProQuest's AI Research Assistant and some problems with the definitions it was offering for medical terms. Ring any bells?

Thanks, I normally already have access, but will check your link to be sure. I'm just not frequently using discord, so I don't ever go there.

Thnx Laura! I missed that message. Is Discord a better place to stay up to date compared to bluesky? What do you think?

So..., this year there are no #MeSH changes right? Only the title of the MeSH Browser website was updated to 2026?

Hey #medlibs & library folks - check your catalog for the Journal of the Academy of Public Health. You may want to reconsider that & refine teaching language for clarity about evidence-based health information this year. eagledawg.blogspot.com/2026/01/publ...

Nobody should trust AI. That doesn't mean it isn't useful... not trusting it is part of AI literacy.

Last week a CDC webpage about vaccine safety was edited.

Using the "Changes" feature of the Wayback Machine we can see a "before and after" comparison:

web.archive.org/web/diff/202...

The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is the change control system the web never had.

Your annual #medlibs Halloween reminder that "Chocolate"[Mesh] has only been in use since 2017. (OK, to be fair previous indexing is "Cacao"[Mesh] 1963-2016, but STILL.)
Also, "Spirit Possession"[Mesh] is a thing, with only 28 results in PubMed, "Spirit Possession"[tiab] gets 144 results.

#medlibs Me, as every library tech company introduces "AI-powered search" which does not work.

The government shutdown is going to affect the MEDLINE component of all the platforms that hold MEDLINE, right?

While I am not the best instructor, I do enjoy the questions I get when At FSCI2025 in the day 2 of my workshop on AI powered search, someone asked me (1)

The AI powered Library Search That Refused to Search From Clarivate's Summon to Primo Research Assistant, content‑moderation layers meant mostly for chatbots are "quietly" blocking controversial topics from being searched

Ended up spending the rest of my day trying to figure this out - when using the combine query option to combine sets, #Scopus gives dramatically less results compared to when you just type it out as one long string yourself. Will probably send them an e-mail today! #medlibs

When exporting results Scopus mentioned a system update going on until 16 June. We also experienced issues with running long search strings, that worked before. So I hope everything will work again now. Haven't re-tested yet.

ScienceDirect AI ScienceDirect AI is enabling researchers to instantly surface, cite, compare & explore trusted evidence deep within peer-reviewed literature.

"Goodbye wasted reading time. Hello relevance." is one way Elsevier is marketing ScienceDirect AI.

I dunno about anyone else, but I find the idea that the time spent reading scholarly literature is a waste depressing, dismissive, and infuriating.

As Klarna flips from AI-first to hiring people again, a new landmark survey reveals most AI projects fail to deliver Just 1 in 4 AI investments bring in the ROI they promise—but CEOs just can’t resist the technology.

"Despite this dismal success rate, companies are going all-in on AI, driven largely by the belief that everyone else is doing it.
