This piece I've written in the Times Higher Education about projecting a clear identity for academic libraries may be of interest. I'll use it in my keynote at the CONUL conference in Galway this week. @conulconference.bsky.social @timeshighered.bsky.social @facetpublishing.bsky.social @rluk.ac.uk

Great achievement and important to have people of the calibre of @donnchalaw.bsky.social on the Council of State

I enjoyed writing this book and it was a real pleasure to have this discussion with Evelyn - thanks, as ever, to @uniofgalwaylib.bsky.social for all your support. My follow-up article on Politics and the Positioning of Academic Libraries may also be of interest - tinyurl.com/5e5atrz8

Monica did an ever-eloquent job in capturing the essence of my book on The Strategic Positioning of Academic Libraries, tinyurl.com/5e5atrz8. Thanks to everyone who attended and made this such a special occasion. Great work by @uniofgalwaylib.bsky.social in organising the launch. #skybrarians

Such great insights from all the speakers and Monica, Caroline and my sister Olga were the ideal people to talk about The Strategic Positioning of Academic Libraries - tinyurl.com/5e5atrz8 - they also revealed a few dark secrets, footballing and otherwise! #skybrarians #libraries

An amazing occasion to launch my book and I'm so grateful to my wonderful colleagues @uniofgalwaylib.bsky.social for all they did to organise it - a really memorable gathering of friends and family. More details of the book are at tinyurl.com/5e5atrz8

Perhaps an unlikely connection but intense competition has to be faced in both cases! @uniofgalwaylib.bsky.social @conulconference.bsky.social @cilipireland.bsky.social @cilip.bsky.social @libereurope.bsky.social

Big thanks to @uniofgalwaylib.bsky.social for support with open access publication of this article, doi.org/10.1016/j.ac..., which adds to the political dimension emphasised in my recent book on academic library positioning, tinyurl.com/2j93tnp8, ⁦‪@facetpublishing.bsky.social

With huge thanks to everyone @facetpublishing.bsky.social and during my working days @universityofgalway.bsky.social, @uniofgalwaylib.bsky.social and @conulconference.bsky.social among many others - hoping this book offers something of use to you in return! ow.ly/qOE150Y6702
