A great way to end a busy day with @thekindbraveleader.bsky.social talking about her work on kindness, burnout and libraries. Make sure to check out Helen’s book (and add it to your library’s collections, if you can!) Sorry I couldn’t catch you at the end Helen, train chaos has ensued!

In the Data Modification and Access Removal in the US session at #CILIPConf25 and my key takeaway is the continued importance and need for decolonisation across knowledge bases and library collections in light of a historical reliance on US sources in systematic reviews and research more broadly.
