Final parallel for me New Methodologies. Loved hearing about Birmingham’s “Library Shapers”. Staff from across library and learning resources can request students from the Library Shapers group to assist them in service development. Paid as casual workers.
First of Day 2 parallels #LibPMC2025 I am starting with Collections Assessment. First up using R for collections management by our wonderful conference photographer Eng Aun Cheng
Lovely sunny day for #LibPMC2025 starting with multi-award winning Liam Thorp from Liverpool Echo with his keynote on using data and human stories to create compelling narratives for social justice.
I am about to present in Electronic Resources Assessment so no posts for a bit #LibPMC2025
After a lovely lunch and Conference photo, now the second lot of parallel sessions. I am in Library Standards #LibPMC2025 First up how standardisation can improve school libraries, using libraries in Portugal as the case study.
Now 5 presentations on Research & Scholarly Lifecycle. (Room 9) #LibPMC2025 starting with improving visibility of data through curation in repository - a case study from South Africa.
Absolutely here to join “a community that happens to coalesce around a conference every two years.” Let’s chat libraries, crafting, hiking, museums… 👋 #LibPMC2025
