Academic librarian in the north of England. Currently Associate Director (Space, Experience and Innovation) at Lancaster University Library.
The Zandra Rhodes’ Colourful Heritage project looks AMAZING too - as vibrant and energetic as its subject. Loved how engaged with practitioners and potential users it was - right down to co-created approaches to metadata. mylibrary.uca.ac.uk/colourfulher... #UKSGForum2025

Far too many highlights to list! But l loved the talks from about collection development from Suffolk and Dublin City/Maynooth. Climbing into skips brought back memories of some of my more practical library experience #UKSGForum

I've failed to keep up with #UKSGForum2024 posts but it's been a great morning crossing diverse themes including AI, open research, career journeys and now collections and metadata

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.
