#DataPrivacyWeek2025 Tip 💡 Personal information being tracked online? You can enable an opt-out preference signal (OOPS)--OOPS provides a simple and easy step to opt-out of the sale and sharing of your PI without having to make individual requests to each business.

Stunning development in scholarly publishing. NYPL will be digitizing "entire out-of-print backlists" of multiple academic presses and making them available. The Scholarly Press Backlist Revival project shows a striking thoughtfulness in overcoming perceived and real IP and contractual barriers.
