Thought-provoking day at SCONUL’s Spring Conference ‘The Library and Digital Transformation’ - disruptive ideas and models debated which could bring big changes to outdated HE systems/tech structures and refocus on our key values/core activities - research, learning & impact

The Headingley library cat is following me all around the building today. She's currently helping me empty the book bins.

Today I visited the University of Northampton to see their flipped model of student space - integrating libraries, teaching spaces, varied learning spaces, social spaces and refreshments areas. It was busy, buzzing and full of energy. I loved it! #studyspacestudyplace #phdlife

This is an incredible immersive experience.

At Leeds Beckett Festival of Research & Knowledge Exchange today, listening to Prof. Silke Machold & Neil Jacobs (Head of UKRN) talk about the recognition of open & transparent research #RKEFest24

I’ve met some of the very best people, being involved in reenactment for the past 35 years… www.theguardian.com/stage/2024/n...

Visit to LJMU today to meet Library Associate Director, Sian Downes, & be shown around university learning & study spaces. Great conversations about student study behaviour post-Covid and how we can shape our spaces to meet developing student needs 📚 #phdlife #studyspacestudyplace

A whistle-stop day @ University of the Arts London libraries, with Library AD Rowan, from Kings Cross to Stratford via Holborn - amazing spaces and great creativity from the library staff to optimise them as student study places #studyspacestudyplace #phdlife #phdresearch

Great to attend #icepops24, the international #copyright literacy conference, today -thought provoking presentations & immensely proud of Liesl Rowe for being one of the conference organisers & #leedsbeckett colleagues Liesl, Thali Bento, Tom Lennox & Anna Gower for all presenting at the event!

On the clearing phone lines this morning for Leeds Beckett - it’s exciting & nerve wracking! Hoping to give our future students some good news and offer them a place that suits ☺️ I’m a student here too - can confirm it’s a great place to study & work 🎓

Great #CPD opportunity to be able to attend #LILAC24 as a volunteer photographer today, a conference I wouldn’t usually go to (working in a different #LIS field) so much crossover in the discussions & presentations including #AI and #LISResearch 👍

I've written this for LBU Library on how using Academic Libraries for studying is changing. It ties into my current PhD research. I’ve listened to a diverse range of student voices discussing how they study and why they choose certain spaces to study in. It's been fascinating bit.ly/3vchBgM
