it was exceptional. always great to hear from someone who is passionate about their role and is also conscious of the broader social impact of their work (must be the Irish mammy!). really enjoyed it.

still in the process of submitting, but I imagine there will (in due course) be a *really* interesting talk about the nuances of applying for such an award in a library which has a large majority of female staff - puts an interesting nuance on things #LibPMC2025

@teach-research.bsky.social great talk, genuine insights about user behaviour and legacy uses. #LibPMC2025

Really interesting findings from @qualitydog.bsky.social about use of digital book use. Rigour of research gave great credibility to their findings #LibPMC2025

Takeaway from keynote #LibPMC2025 is that citizen science is a lot broader than I imagined

the continuing fragmentation of social media is making it harder to follow #uksg2025 in full, from a distance. Thanks to all who are posting here!
