My UK Universities on @bsky.app Starter Pack has been updated and now contains 100 institutions with a Bluesky account.

Although it's fair to say, some may be fake given they've not added any information.

And only just over half seem active, posting in the last month or so.

Lovely to be at #UKSGForum2024 today, last year as an attendee but this year as a speaker. My colleague Taran Johal and I are very much looking forward to delivering our talk this afternoon about how UWTSD Birmingham are redefining access and engagement with our Digital Library.

A great couple of days at the University of Sussex for the RLUK Members Meeting. Some great talks and discussion on generative AI and kindness in leadership. Feeling particularly inspired by the latter and how we might practice and celebrate kindness in our organisations.
