#Libraries have a powerful role to play in the UK's social, economic and democratic renewal. We need policymakers everywhere to see the power of investing in knowledge, learning and literacy. #GE2024 #BuildLibrariesBuildFutures

A great Irish poet and singer left us today.
She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time.
Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor.
Rest easy Sinéad.

RLUK encourages IFLA to reconsider its decision to select Dubai for their World Library and Information Congress 2024.
The absence of those who would not feel comfortable or safe to participate would be a loss to our wider, inclusive community.

universities should be investing as much in their digital estate as their physical estate, suggests @HoneybHighton - don’t disagree but how many institutions are really doing this? #THEdigitalUK

“Digital tools allow researchers to do more, better. Then they are in a cycle, where they want to use it more and improve how they are using it. People don’t want to get left behind, because the cost to catch up will be too high.”Stuart Moran, @UniNottinghamIC #THEDigitalUK – at Leeds, England

Our new exhibition is now open at @thejohnrylands!
The exhibition goes beyond the factories to explore the cultures and communities created by workers in pursuit of a better, fuller life in 19th century industrial Lancashire.

I do like a schematic, this shows the services and links feeding into the Open Research Tracker from @UoMLibrary's via Taylor and Gifford #RLUK23 Very impressive and a brilliant exemplar of what can be done - and aligned with strategy for open and collection development.
