Vocational Awe and Librarianship by Fobazi Ettarh is an article every library worker should read. Sharing it here in case someone has missed it: www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocatio... 📚📜

#ASL2026 There's a challenge, a tension, I think, between instilling ethical values but not developing Fobazi Ettarh's (gone far too soon) idea of vocational awe.

Strong start @aslibraries.bsky.social @rialibrary.bsky.social Insightful discussion: values,OA & more.Many speakers addressing the enormous loss of Aisling Coyne. #ASL2026 @laibluesky.bsky.social @martinoconnor.bsky.social @janebuggle.bsky.social @usernameerror.bsky.social @libraryjobs.bsky.social

Our first #ASL2026 keynote speaker is @ucclibrary.bsky.social Librarian Liz Jolly. She addresses the importance of reflective practice, having clarity about your own values, relentless optimism, the ethical values of librarianship and...the 1972 Cup Final.

Áine Brennan and Grace O'Connor talk about how they doubled social media interactions in @dculibrary.bsky.social post-Twitter. Emma Rothwell shares how she balances traditional curation with outreach demands in @rialibrary.bsky.social at #ASL2026

What I should have added in this piece is that even if all of this stopped right now, that doesn't pardon any past offences already committed. Criminal prohibitions of sexual abuse and expolitation are partly aimed at deterrence - and this only works if they are enforced.

I co-wrote an article that just came out! 📜 Thomas, Nikki Lynn, Colleen Theisen, Juli McLoone, and Sean Heyliger. "“I Despise It, But It Works”: Social Media Outreach in Special Collections." The American Archivist 88, no. 2 (2025): 404–440. Link: american-archivist.kglmeridian.com/view/journal...
