Sounds like we have lots to look forward to thanks to @MoragHiggison and members of the A team. Thank you all!

Thank you for all your contributions to #lisrival @miss_e_prince. 'See' you in January :-)

#lisrival Event 3 just finished on a high note with all breakout teams reporting good discussions & plans to develop 4 strong project outputs. Thanks to our leaders @WeeBletherer, @infogamerist, @MoragHiggison, & @hazelh for @SeanJMcNamara1

#lisrival Team B has just finished its breakout meeting to plan at feature article for #lis practitioners. Great contributions from everyone & a plan to complete the work by mid-February. @SeanJMcNamara1 - you will be impressed!

#lisrival We're all heading off to our breakout meetings for an hour or so, so we'll be quiet for a while.

#lisrival Q to Lynne - would she do a #PhD? She might have said 'yes' in the past, but now she has a dog instead :-)

#lisrival Now Q&A after network news presentations. @MetaskillsPhD congrats H Lockerbie on all the work she showcased in her video. How much will stay post-pandemic? Reply - all :-)

#lisrival Motivation, organisation, & focus are key skills says Lynne.

#lisrival Last 'live' speaker in this session is Lynne Robertson telling us about the skills you need to complete postgrad study part-time.

#lisrival Some very interesting photographs in Andy's presentation

#lisrival Andy is interested in research data on European martial arts and the community around the topic.

#lisrival Andy Taylor is up next with his short 'news' talk.

#lisrival But how can @LibraryGryphon access forced migrant public library users now? How can she recruit participants? Can members of the #lisrival network help? No data = no PhD for Rachel Salzano :-(

#lisrival For the main study @LibraryGryphon is interested in exploring the impact of culture on public library use of **forced migrants**. She would have distributed paper questionnaires at public libraries if not for the pandemic.

#lisrival @LibraryGryphon conducted her entire PhD pilot study online. For this she has examined the influence on public library use amongst *international students*.

#lisrival Next up for a short 'news' presentation is Rachel Salzano @LibraryGryphon - on the impact of the pandemic on her doctoral study.

#lisrival @infogamerist advocating using machine learning techniques in period when it is difficult to recruit study participants for our research.
