Health libraries / pictures of veg / pictures of trails / general interest. Personal capacity etc. Not here any more - same name over on BlueSky

[Alan Fricker 💙 @alanfricker]

I reported an account that was explicit from their name through to their content that they were a Nazi and this is apparently no issue for @twitter as that breaks no policies.
I don't plan to post here anymore in a personal capacity. See you elsewhere.

Ahem

Blessing this terrible place with mince pie goodness

[Jungwon @jungofthewon]

Users starting to conduct their own systematic evaluations of @elicitorg vs. other tools! Lots of room to improve but at least Elicit doesn't hallucinate references.

Just visible sneaking into the second picture. Not actually the worst bit of standing water on the course for this venerable fixture #CrossCountry @EssexAArunning

ELR at the Loughton AC Ware Cup. Well done to those that braved the treacherous conditions!

Missed the chance at the #KLSCelebration23 event yesterday to trumpet a record number of article downloads by NHS staff via @third_iron tools last month - topped 50k and would be even more if INCDocs was counted in. Getting people straight to the evidence

Library tech trends from Computers in Libraries - NHS Library folk have access via OpenAthens. Rising Koha installations mentioned though not ours directly!

Anyone know the name of this brook that runs down through Epping Forest from High Beach through Hill Wood to Fairmead Bottom? @CoLEppingForest

[Professor Azeem Majeed @Azeem_Majeed]

I am talking to some medical students.

Me: When I was a medical student and wanted copies of academic articles, I had to wheel a trolley round the library, collect the journals and take them to a photocopier.

Medical students: We have no idea what you are talking about.

@nelft_library @nhhoward @NELFT @NELFTResearch @NELFTLetsEngage @nelftqis @NELFT_AHP @NELFT_CTT @NELFTPharmacy @NELFTPECS @NELFTAgile @CarolineAllum1 Nice one! Love to see the Hub, BMJ Best Practice and LibKey Nomad all in evidence

Struggling to think of anything much worse than AI trained on the bin fire that is much of twitter

[Rowan Cheung @rowancheung]

In my (completely biased) opinion, X/Twitter is the best platform in the world, especially for news and valuable insights.

If Grok "knows" anyone's X posts, it will be so intelligent, that it might just make every other chatbot sound dumb.

Grok is a serious ChatGPT competitor.

Good work here from the team at Trip - sounds like a solid recommendation add on

Utterly predictable that @Essex_CC have pushed this through with @EssexLibraries not objecting to a massive reduction in provision in Loughton @SOLE_Essex @LoughtonRA @eefnews

[Yellow Advertiser @BasildonYA]

Loughton Library to be demolished and replaced with flats and National Jazz Archive https://t.co/GFnncKkp9B #Essex_CC #eppingforestdc

Join a library

[BookBub @BookBub]

Stop overpaying for ebooks. ✨

[Alan Fricker 💙 @alanfricker]

@Essex_CC @loughtonlibrary @eppingforestdc Nope. I am pointing out that the library events calendar is broken and has loads of wrong entries about the printer cartridge recycling. Thanks though

[Alan Fricker 💙 @alanfricker]

@loughtonlibrary something has gone haywire on the events site so the recycling bins are listed as both happening and cancelled everyday!
