In her @conulconference.bsky.social review, @hollymeadekennedy.bsky.social from @mulibrary.bsky.social shares how empowering it was for her to hear from so many female library leaders at #CONUL25. Read more about a conference experience that was 'rare and radical' at www.libfocus.com

A beautiful morning here in Yellowstone, Montana. We've spotted bears, bison, eagles and lots of chipmunks so far! Feeling super lucky to get to see such a gorgeous part of the world!

A great opportunity to ask Anne Jarvis of #Princeton about increasing female leadership in the library space following her fantastic keynote at #CONUL25 Day 2. Anne recommended the book "Why Should Anyone Be Led By You". So encouraging to see an Irish woman excel at such a high level! #libraries

Loved Day 1 of #CONUL25. Great keynote from Richard Ovenden of #Oxford University on tech bros, boring books & rethinking interdependence! Equally great talks by my colleagues Michaela Hollywood on reimagining library spaces & @lauraconnaughtonmu.bsky.social on MU Library's #AthenaSwan application!

An incredible presentation from Meg Galasso of Indiana University Library on Fatness and Librarianship on Day 2 of #CALC25. So interesting & impactful to hear about her research. Loving the broadness of the EDI topics covered so far! #Libraries #Librarianship

Loved @heroicendeavour.bsky.social's talk on Libraries as 3rd Spaces, closing a genuinely great Day 1 of #CALC25. "The fluidity of the 3rd space gives librarians a unique freedom to drive change". I wrote about this recently in @irishexaminer.bsky.social: mural.maynoothuniversity.ie/id/eprint/19...

An amazing keynote from @sachacoward.bsky.social, author of Sunday Times bestseller "Queer as Folklore" to kick off the 2025 Critical Approaches to Libraries Conference. Really looking forward to the incredible speakers they have lined up over the next 3 days #CALC25

Hi Bluesky 🪺 Here's a blogpost I recently had published in @libfocus.bsky.social on why if teaching is your thing, you might enjoy a career in libraries too! It has all of the fun, nerdy stuff without the exam corrections! #MULibrary #IrishLibraries www.libfocus.com/2025/02/chan...
