Ned 'no longer here' Potter

If you’re interested in the the reasons for being ex-X, they’re in a ‘librarian social media’ blogpost here: ned-potter.com/blog/nomadic-s… I’m sad to be going as my Twitter network has been hugely valuable to me. You excellent lot. 😭 Bluesky is where I’ll be: bsky.app/profile/nedpot…

@AVWoman 😄 Let me be absolutely clear cos I know what you’re like, thank you but no…

@ned_potter I can send you all my Wordlehouses by email if you like.

Tomorrow is my last day of work before Christmas; traditionally that’s when I take Twitter off my phone for the holidays. The difference is, this time I’m not going to put it back on again! I wanted to say thanks to everyone I’ve interacted on here over the last 13 years… ❤️

(If you are planning to come do book soon though - yesterday we released 50 early-booking tickets for a gig in *June* and they sold out within 3 hours!)

My 90s-dance-music-played-live band @OSAnthems are returning to @CityScreenYork on March 9th - if you came last time you'll know it was ace. Come along! Tickets: ticketsource.co.uk/old-skool-anth… Set sampler: youtu.be/u4nwkCRK6hQ?fe… If you like 90s dance, you'll love us... 🎉🔊🪩

@ThatLibraryMan Oh wow, thank you for this!

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!

People are filling this in! 🎉 It's so helpful. Thanks all, and thank you for the RTs too.

@Tuphlos Thank you legend!

@STHLibraries Thank youuuuuuu!

Library people of X! Can you do me one last favour? I'm seeking input on what people need from a book on #library marketing, if I were to write another... There's a brief form here: forms.gle/GHenpef6RLXEZE… If you can fill it in / RT I'd appreciate it massively. Thank you.

(Trying to find a way to post about Twitter / X without getting massively reduced views for the tweet due to hitting words the algorithm doesn't like... But the article is about where GLAM orgs should be setting up shop on social media, moving forward.)

Where should *libraries* go now? ned-potter.com/blog/nomadic-s…

Hey it’s #MyXAnniversary Good to reach 14 years but I won’t be doing 15. Can’t hack it anymore, feels wrong to be here… I owe so much to my twitter network, it’s been invaluable. Thanks all. Just a few posts left and then at Christmas I’m ouuuut.

@NaomiLASmith @WoodsieGirl Oh yeah me either... Will sort

@ned_potter @WoodsieGirl (The edit isn’t showing for me btw)

@NaomiLASmith @WoodsieGirl Yes - okay, have added a little edit to the post!

@WoodsieGirl @ned_potter kindve ties in with our current conversation about instagram

@heroicendeavour Wow! That's excellent

‘initiatives to enable academic librarians to support academic colleagues with increasing the diversity of reading lists and contribute to decolonisation of the curriculum’

On a personal ‘pat myself on the back’ note, this work was included in @DerbyUni’s TEF and singled out in the feedback as one of the reasons for rating ‘learning resources’ outstanding. 😁

@NaomiLASmith Ah that's interesting! I might amend the post to include that. Do you feel like there's a good level of community on there?

@ned_potter I really enjoyed this piece although I disagree about instagram. My critical librarianship instagram @blackandgoldeduction is doing really well on there and it just involves librarians being more creative in their communication :)
