Fantastic that we've raised 74% of our target for the @BrunelMuseum so far. With only 2 days left for matched funding, please do consider donating or promoting the campaign to friends, family, colleagues and complete strangers. Or both ideally. Thanks.

We’re continuing to experience a major technology outage, as a result of what has now been identified as a cyber-attack. The outage is still affecting our website, online systems and services, as well as some onsite services including Wi-Fi. We expect to restore many of our services soon, although some disruption is likely to continue for several weeks.

We’ve taken targeted protective measures in response to the attack to ensure the integrity of our systems. We’re also undertaking a forensic investigation with the support of NCSC and cyber security specialists.

We know many of you have questions but, as this investigation is ongoing, we’re unable to provide any more information at this time and we’ll update when we can. Thanks for your continued understanding.

Our sites are open as normal. We’ve updated our blog with the latest information on what’s available onsite and online: https://t.co/lFGZp3g7Cu

@NickPoole1 @britishlibrary Lovely to catch-up, Nick. And fabulous to have everyone @CILIPinfo based in StP at the @britishlibrary

Oh books, wonderful books, marvellous books, glorious books! 😍

We've always loved a good #shelfie – like these ones from our former home on Great Russell Street in 1986 (also who else would love a slide down the book chute?)

Also managed to pop by @SeamusHeaneyNLI to see my favourite example of a writer's desk.

If you're presenting at #UOSHConference today, and have a website for your project, can you let me know so it can be added to the @UKWebArchive? Especially websites with UK content that don't have a recognisable UK domain (.com, .org instead of .uk, .scot, for example). #UOSH
