That's a wrap folks #CILIPConf23 @CILIPinfo. I developed a migraine halfway through Day 2 so apologies for any gaps in my write up. Lots of ideas to ponder and I have my action list https://t.co/m8i297bZIc

Great learning and networking at #RDF24 the last couple of days. Was lovely to present a poster about the critically appraised topics groups @BCHC_RnI and @smallwoodlib are facilitating for clinicians @bhamcommunity with Theresa Powell and Conor Wood.

@alicecann @CILIPinfo What a reflective piece. I fear my blog was quite descriptive because it was written immediately. I love how you've captured how it felt for you without being critical.

[Alice Cann @alicecann]

I found so many of the talks (official ones & personal conversations) at the @CILIPinfo #CILIPconf23 conference last week inspirational. I’ve begun to write about my experience, & the conference generally, with a focus on 1 session, in my new blog post https://t.co/72FjFMa0c0

@alicecann @CILIPinfo Absolutely. Let me know when you publish yours. I'm sure there are things I missed and it will be good to see another view and catch up on sessions I did not attend.

[Abi Alayo @abombolo]

What a first day at #CILIPConf23. Lovely to meet professionals from other sectors. I've cobbled together my thoughts and looking forward to day two. https://t.co/2UOM4TdCcl. Thanks @CILIPinfo and well done to all the speakers.

@janicekung You don't need to add quotes in Ovid. I find that in search lines combined by Boolean operators, it will actually give an error message if you add quotes to your phrases.

[Abi Alayo @abombolo]

@improvjess @CILIPinfo We may ask if other professionals have the same pressure to clarify their work but are they suffering the same cutbacks that we are experiencing as a profession. My image of an accountant is probably still a stereotype but is the stereotype doing them any harm.

[Abi Alayo @abombolo]

@alicecann @CILIPinfo Oh. Sounds very exciting. I tend to procrastinate so I would just never get around to it as the need for it steadily dwindles in my opinion.

[Abi Alayo @abombolo]

@alicecann @CILIPinfo Thanks. Driven by the knowledge that if I let it sit for even one day I will find a reason not to do it. What's two late nights when the weekend awaits.

[Abi Alayo @abombolo]

#CILIPConf23 Thanks @CILIPinfo and all who shared what their services are doing in chats and presentations. Hope I didn't project my own insecurities/shortcomings in my comment. Librarians are going to rule the world

#CILIPConf23 @NickPoole1 Libraries can be a place of healing for our society but librarians also need to heal as individuals

[Abi Alayo @abombolo]

#CILIPConf23 @NickPoole1 We hide our labour so we are not valued for it and don't get the support and funding we need

[Abi Alayo @abombolo]

@alicecann Love this (as imposter syndrome has me second guessing)
