Are you interested in supporting fellow UK LGBTQ+ librarians?
I'm stepping down as chair of LGBTQ+ Network at the end of my 2 year term in the summer. Maybe you'd like to take over?
Great opportunity to push your agenda, get know in the sector & build a wide range of skills.
Happy to prelim chat

Trump-style book censorship is spreading – just ask British librarians | Alison Hicks
UK school librarians are also coming under pressure to remove books from their shelves, says Alison Hicks, associate professor in library and information studies at UCL
The phrase “everyone needs an Alison in their life” (educational, supervisional, or just in their general sphere), said during the #LILAC25 conference, comes to mind when reading this article.
Proud supervisee over here! @alisonhicks0.bsky.social

In light of this news, I regret not making clear in my #lilac25 talk on my PhD research on women's information experiences that my research approach includes trans women, and nonbinary folks who have girl/woman as part of their identity. My feminism has no space for those who gatekeep womanhood.

What does UX mean to you, and what are your experiences with it?
Post your response to the discussion topic by clicking the plus button below.
We used this at the beginning of our workshop yesterday to learn how others have used UX. I thought I'd add it here to see if anyone else in #LILAC25 wants to contribute. Share details with others if you want to follow up with a chat. There's some amazing work going on! tiny.cc/z6qg001

Lowri saying students go for the easiest option and will often skip databases/ library resources due to complex interface. Thinking about vendors telling us their interfaces are "super easy" to use... #LILAC25

We need evidence on the impact of IL - and we need it from outside the HE sector. Can we capture data on what we're doing and why it matters? What changes as a result of information literacy? #lilac25

@jsecker.bsky.social claims Librarians are the most innovative teachers! I agree, we are always trying to prove we are worthy in the ‘teaching space,’ owning our teaching status and being as creative and innovative as we can. #LILAC25

In our IL teaching we often talk about ethical use of information, citation practice and academic integrity - but we should also talk much more about copyright. Copyright is power! #lilac25

“Copyright represents power and people who have power” @jsecker.bsky.social #lilac25 “librarians have a crucial role in maintaining the balance in copyright law”

Word cloud, in which the largest word is "fun". Other big words are inspirational, passionate, dedicated, enthusiastic, energetic and inspiring
Love this word cloud summing up Jane from the perspective of those who know her 💜 #lilac25

Well the first session at #lilac25 was a smash hit! @patchedelbows.bsky.social wowed us all with some live data analysis, in a frankly incredible flex, before going on to lead us through the "information hinterlands" of UK academic librarians. Fascinating stuff 😍
