Screen time doesnā€™t have to leave you an anxious mess. In fact, if youā€™re intentional about your online life, it can support your emotional wellbeing.

UMSI alumna Pamela Pavliscak makes that case in her new book, All the Feels: How to Stay Human in the Digital World, out June 9.

On Friday, June 12 at 6:30 p.m., Pavliscak joins UMSI professor Nicole Ellison for a book talk at Literati Bookstore in downtown Ann Arbor.

The archival field is at an inflection point. At U-M, experts are navigating its future.

Archivists in the Loop, a June 4-5 symposium at the University of Michigan sponsored by the Bentley Historical Library and UMSI, is bringing archivists, technologists and researchers together to examine how generative AI is reshaping archival reference services.

"If we as a field don't start thinking further ahead and further outside the box with how AI can assist in archival access, our users are going to define it instead of us," says UMSI alumna Julia Corrin, university archivist at Carnegie Mellon University.

"Even if you don't want to use it yourself, people are still going to be coming in, asking you about it. It's going to change the way that you do your work," says UMSI clinical assistant professor Jesse Johnston, a symposium organizer.
