Lots of ideas to think about on my train home to Liverpool from my excellent day in London with the Research Catalyst cohort. Was exciting to have my own research hat on, not just supporting others with theirs. Thank you for the opportunity @rluk.ac.uk @armauk.bsky.social #librariesxresearch

I was asked for a comment on the UK's journal big deal negotiations. We are in a sector-wide consultation and so not appropriate to talk specifics - but there is an apparent lack of understanding by some publishers of the current financial position of UK HE

As part of our work to revise the @rluk.ac.uk strategy we have been looking at possible futures over the next five years and classified some of the many uncertainties that we will have to work with. We have provided a (non-exhaustive!) list in this blog

#RLUK26 #CFP

Libraries navigate complex intersections of academic freedom, freedom of speech, censorship & contested spaces+collections

#RLUK26 will explore dynamic, inclusive & strategic approaches needed to manage myriad challenges libraries face
