@johnkwilson.bsky.social tears apart the Vanderbilt "report" on the humanities.
"If you imagine that every single academic field has the same identical ideological problem, the most logical explanation is that the ideological bias is coming from you."

There is virtually no evidence offered in the report for its sweeping conclusions about the entirety of the humanities.
The key for reference managers is that if you actually are going to cite something, check your metadata fields, and then check your generated bibliography after. Otherwise, it's great for saving and organizing your TBR.
However, I do all my mss bib entries by hand bc Zotero doesn't handle that well!
This is nonsensical. Libraries buy huge numbers of books you wouldn't otherwise sell. They're a massive discoverability vector for authors. The reasons behind the declining author earnings are not hard to guess. People read less, have less $ to spend, +media is being consolidated by megacorporations
My contribution to Zotero discourse:
1. Thank you to the W&M librarian that introduced me to reference managers as a sophomore
2. SHARP Bibs for the last 3 years would be way harder w/o Zotero
3. If you wanna learn Zotero, this libguide is great!
