Having attempted to digest all of the brilliant talks I attended at #LILAC24 I've attempted to summarise my 19 pages of notes into 3 key themes that I spotted across the sessions I attended. Thanks again to the @LILAC_conf team for a brilliant conference linkedin.com/pulse/thoughts…

Home & unpacked after an amazing 3 days at #LILAC24 in Leeds! A huge thank you to the conference team for putting together an incredible event and programme of talks. I feel so enriched by all I heard. I've got pages & pages of notes to decipher but for now it's sleep time!

A little boost for this blog I wrote last week where I put down some of my thoughts on what I want to see from an AI research tool before I would even consider recommending it to my students: linkedin.com/pulse/im-just-… Would be really interested in your thoughts!

I've been pondering AI again, this time in relation to search tools and what I want from them in order to be comfortable in recommending them to students and colleagues. I'd love to hear your thoughts! linkedin.com/pulse/im-just-…

Staying up to watch the whole of #TheOscars seemed like a good idea last night. This morning as I prepare to deliver a referencing session to 1st year sport students on 4 hours sleep it seems a little foolhardy. Hoping to channel some of Ryan Gosling's Kenergy Wish me luck!

Really positive first meeting of the new @CILIP_ARLG committee earlier. Lots of good ideas and looking forward to helping get us back out there creating learning and networking opportunities for colleagues in academic and research libraries ☺️

🔍 More than 1/3 of #HE students who’ve used #generativeAI don’t know how often it produces hallucinations. For Mike Jones @ThatLibraryMan from @SolentUni, librarians can play a vital role in developing AI literacy. 🤖 Find out more 👇 bit.ly/3I5yw7y

Just booked my spot to attend #LILAC24 - had a wonderful time in Cambridge last year so can't wait to visit Leeds. Heading up the day before so any recommendations for things to do on a Sunday evening in Leeds greatly appreciated😊 Hope to see some of you there!

After feeling sorry for myself last Tues, having missed out on an opportunity - this Tues started more brightly when I arrived at my desk to find this little guy, a gift from an academic as thanks for some help with her research. Also pictured, today's awesome Xmas jumper!

Had some disappointing (but completely fair) work-adjacent news this afternoon but can't be down when I'm wearing a Xmas jumper this awesome!

Ned's book was an essential text for my Library MA dissertation (and is cited numerous times in the subsequent journal article - link in bio if anyone's interested) so I'd love to read a follow up. If you're involved in library marketing, please ensure you fill in his survey!

Does anyone have any recommendations of papers/research that discuss the issues/limitations/negative aspects of using #LibGuides as a tool for disseminating #InfoLit instruction and advice? Found plenty of positives but looking an alternative viewpoint Thanks in advance!
