🧵Rural and small libraries are crucial for preserving local history, but resource constraints make it challenging. The #InternetArchive's #CommunityWebs program helps these libraries save websites, news, & community stories for the future.

Big fan of @libfocus.bsky.social! Wrote a post back in 2022 and remember being so nervous about it but @martinoconnor.bsky.social was super encouraging. Glad I did now as it was a good reminder of some achievements I'd forgotten about which I was able to use for an application #CDGASLWriting2025

Did you forget to read something? 🤔 Marta makes a very good point that sometimes there's a part of the instructions in a grant instructions that you might have missed. #CDGASLWriting2025

Don't work at grants backwards. Create a project - then find a funding call. Align with the theme and don't be afraid to reach out to the people behind the funding call to ask if your project fits. #CDGASLWriting2025

Sad to hear of the death of Ken Bruen, the renowned #Galway born crime writer over the weekend. A nice display in #ATULibrary, Dublin Rd. of some of his published works.

We are running five Collective Intelligence Workshops between May and October 2025 to explore how research can better connect with people—informing policy, supporting families, and empowering advocacy.



These workshops are central to ENGAGED, a national initiative to shape a roadmap for open and inclusive research that reflects Ireland’s needs. While we’re learning from international models, the focus is on co-creating solutions that work here.



Together, through the workshops, we will:

Explore how open research is working in Ireland

Identify barriers to public involvement

Shape practical, inclusive solutions



Want to take part?

❓❓what is the recruiter looking for❓❓
Adaptability and a readiness to face challenges head-on is essential in the current climate. An awareness of sustainability, diversity and other key issues is also important. #CDGCareers2025

Make sure you do your research on the library – what’s their about page say, do they have any upcoming events, what are their values? Tailor your CV to each library and job #CDGCareers2025

Attended a super productive fire warden training session today! I gained insights on how to keep my workplace safe and prepared and went straight home and hunted down my fire blanket in its safe spot, and checked which fire extinguisher I have. 🔥✅ #SafetyFirst #FireWardenReady #StayPrepared
