Accessible research isn’t just for accessibility research

Important takeaways in the “assessing accessibility” talk. Accessibility is an issue that affects everyone! Other takeaways: Foster relationships, make sure the benefits of the research go back to the community and lower existing barriers! #LibPMC2025

Library entrance “desire lines” and companion observational studies show wayfinding engagement occupancy patterns; hand mapped and reproducible, they show core data for considering physical space changes #LibPMC2025

“Bradford made this for me”
Fantastic talk from Kristy Carver, outcomes included name + # + image wayfinfimg for neurodiverse students to distinguish study rooms (and a poetry and art contest highlighting area natural history to boot) #LibPMC2025

Big applause to our presenters from #UniSA Dr Tinyiko Dube and Dr Mduduzi Ntetha who presented on institutional repository curation and usage 👏

Can apply the principles of Citizen Science to user research in libraries - greater amount and more diverse data; data grounded in full range of community, including marginalised groups not just the “loudest voices”; transparency about the process grow skills of participants and trust. #LibPMC2025

Absolutely here to join “a community that happens to coalesce around a conference every two years.” Let’s chat libraries, crafting, hiking, museums… 👋 #LibPMC2025
