Mike Olson, Murphy Library, authored the article "Beyond Classification: The Human Cost of Library and Information Labor Under Digital Capitalism" in "The Scholary Kitchen," published on Tuesday, Aug. 26 by The Society for Scholarly Publishing. The article critiques the growing erosion of cataloging labor in libraries, driven by vendor consolidation, AI automation, and the commercialization of higher education. Through examples like OCLC layoffs and AI-driven discovery tools that suppress sensitive topics, it explores how human expertise in organizing knowledge is being replaced by systems that prioritize corporate control and algorithmic efficiency over scholarly integrity. It argues that protecting this labor is essential for preserving democratic access to information.
