@DrEm_79 @EmergMedDr Quite- resilience is a much abused term, especially when it is used to imply that having a reaction to a stressful event or two, or three... is showing weakness. Don't be hard on yourself for proving you're a human being

@Sectioned_ Try filling it with milk, if you haven't already - sometimes works

I've had a really interesting time, thank you to all speakers, presenters and those who have made it possible. @ConfEblip

That quote should be emblazoned across library promotions, "without a [mobile] library I'd have to read less and that's not fair" @ConfEblip

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

@RuthCarlyle @ConfEblip certainly library orientation has a added 'thing to do' on an already packed list of 'things to know about'. I try and keep it very much to a top level, these are all the things you could find useful later on. Sometimes I see eyes which are completely glazed.

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

@RuthCarlyle Absolutely, are they feeling b***yminded that day and write "Darth Vader"? [Yes really] Do they even have their id card with them? Do they write their mates name on the list because their mate is off doing something else?

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

Fascinating talk on the difficulties of analysing data from FSU. I can really relate to the times when you realise with horror that what you thought a collected dataset would contain, for other reasons, doesn't @ConfEblip

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

@cmmclaren @ConfEblip I'd probably end up getting bored, which is a very dangerous state for me to be in!

Australia...Retire at 60...because you can... @ConfEblip Wow

"Libraries are not a building, libraries are a service", but for so many people who want a legacy, it becomes about the physical resources @ConfEblip

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

Literacy attainment in FE is a source of concern and I would be very interested in seeing what of this experience can be transferred to an FE setting @ConfEblip

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

How heartening to still have a school library service and one which is linked to attainment @ConfEblip

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

Sorry the microphone isn't on for the virtual attendees
@ConfEblip

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

@qualitydog @ConfEblip Thank you for a really inspirational talk.

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

Thank you for sharing expertise, in many institutions finding expertise in research to reassure that something is possible @ConfEblip The big rabbit hole can be fear that innocently someone can break a law.

[Sarah Morris @Bookwormchat]

So critical to have that background knowledge, and keep it fresh. So difficult to keep it fresh, in an atmosphere of de-skilling @ConfEblip
