@publiclibnews Great to see you back Ian. And happy to help with daily Google Alerts, feel free to send some my way

From the heart: the first Public Libraries News post for half a year. publiclibrariesnews.com/2023/11/from-t…

The highly coveted ⚡️lighting talk ⚡️slots for our Library Make or Break event with @artefactors are almost gone! 🚨 Don’t miss out on your chance to share or demo some Library Tech with a friendly and informal group! Get in touch here: cilips.org.uk/events/make-or…

After taking an extended break from in-person events, I'm really looking forward to this tech meetup for libraries we are doing with @CILIPScotland (and putting together some fun, interactive demos for it) cilips.org.uk/events/make-or…

Quick plug for anyone wanting to be more experimental with tech is the @CILIPScotland partnership event with @artefactors called Library Make or Break in Glasgow, a few places remaining (and it's free) cilips.org.uk/events/make-or…

Come one, come all! We're really looking forward to this in-person event with @artefactors 👏😎.

Awesome stuff. The site is at savetherailway.com. Built with WordPress, but with some strong Omeka vibes.

Speaking of our Library make or Break event... We are looking for lightning talk submissions from you! ⚡️ Share your wins, failures, get feedback from colleagues (and have a chance to win a digital maker kit). @artefactors Apply here: cilips.org.uk/events/make-or…

🚨 In-person event 🚨 We've partnered with @artefactors to bring you the Dragon's Den of Libraries! Our Library make or Break event features creative, useful technology demos & 5 minute lighting talks ⚡️ Book here: cilips.org.uk/events/make-or…

Latest blog on the Flying Nun Records archive at @NLNZ, about preserving 241 DAT tapes. Music librarian Mark Hector is your guide. Includes audio of unreleased tracks by Superette and Garageland (John Cale on piano), thanks to the artists & @FlyingNun natlib.govt.nz/blog/posts/dat…

Yeahhh Great to see a @womenslibrary feature!

And here's a link to the Open Data Information Center (ODIS) and their #opendata initiatives in Berlin odis-berlin.de

There's an interview (in german) with Tobias Weiß about the dashboard, challenges they faced and how this approach can be used in other libraries technologiestiftung-berlin.de/blog/open-data…

The Pankow City Library is the first library in Berlin to provide its lending statistics as an open data dashboard - great example of an open data dashboard for #libraries grafana.odis-berlin.de/public-dashboa…

@librarieshacked Jeez that's bleak

Too many tabs, too little time! newswise.com/articles/one-i…

So if you need some inspiration on how to create a plan that stands out from the crowd, or if you’re just curious about what other libraries are planning, head over to the blog now. #libraryplanning #libraries #libraryfutures artefacto.org.uk/strategic-plan…

This has made me realise that there's a lot i want to know about Dutch Libraries🙃
