At CCCU tonight for a lecture on women and witchcraft. Not sure I’ve ever been at such a well attended lecture!

I’m sorry you’ve had to go through all this, it sounds like such a lot. Hugs x

Absolutely loving all the resources for demonstrating the value of metadata work created by the ALA Devaluation of Cataloging Group alair.ala.org/collections/.... I can see the memes getting a lot of use in my day-to-day!

I’m glad its not just me! I’m constantly lost 😆

On my way to Brighton for #UKSG2025. Hopefully I’ll see some familiar faces when I get there!

I’m there any will be banging on about metadata 😁

Our call for proposals for "Practical Cataloguing Online Workshops" is open until Monday 14th April 2025.

My 11 year old has just written me a letter asking me to buy her a new toy. She has signed off “Kind regards”. Clearly I have offended her somehow.

Fourthded.

Just picked up my first pair of varifocals and returned to my desk. First email I read was an invitation to a series of webinars called “Ageing Well”. 👵🏻😬

Absolutely great presentation by @simonxix.com 10/10, no notes etc. #UKSGNov24

Ready with my hot water bottle and blanket for #UKSGNov24. Love an online conference that doesn’t make me go out in the cold!

It's nice to be here 😀

Just on my way back from a really enjoyable #MDGAGM2024. Hannes Lowagie’s talk managed to be both useful and inspiring, and it was great to get to talk to metadata people in person. Also, A+ miniature cakes!

We have them every year. Current view from my sofa (apologies for the state of it, but I’m lazy). Can’t add ALT text, but it is a photo of a house interior decorated for Christmas.

This is horrible, I’m sorry.

My day trip to Birmingham for the UKSG Forum hits its first snag - train from London has been cancelled and I’ll now miss registration. Sigh.

Aces, thanks!

Anyone I know at UKSG Forum tomorrow?
