@jack_sommers @britishlibrary I think @britishlibrary do have copies for UK Vogue for 1966 at shelfmark ZC.9.d.565
I checked and issues for 1966 have been ordered in 2019 successfully from that shelfmark. I'm not on-site so I cannot double-check for you but feel free to reach out: https://t.co/5lOeBrBnuS

We can’t wait to welcome you back. From 22 July we’re intending to open some of our Reading Rooms to those with an in-date pass. To keep everyone safe, we'll initially have reduced days and hours, pre-booking and limited capacity. [1/2]

@PaulaGoodale Byron has taken on a decidedly 'supervisory' role in my 'office' from his window perch #WFHcats

Incredibly powerful and moving talk, a lot of hard truths to consider about how far we have come (not very far), and how far we really still have to go, around diversity inclusion. Thank you @DeweyDecibelle for giving us a considerable dose of reality. #CILIPConf19

[Jaimee McRoberts @JaimeeUK]

“Caring about it isn’t enough, having strategies, having targets, reading about it, going to a session on it isn’t enough — nothing lets us off the hook until we achieve equality.” - @DeweyDecibelle #CILIPConf19

[Jaimee McRoberts @JaimeeUK]

Cultural change is the other side of the coin - you should have the targets, and the strategy, but without cultural change it won’t have the impact you want. @DeweyDecibelle #CILIPConf19

[Jaimee McRoberts @JaimeeUK]

Truth of it is gender bias is encoded into the DNA of our society. For women: marriage, family, career — the pathway to ‘have it all’. It’s a profession [library & IP] that is 74% women, but with an 8.3% gender pay gap [in favour of men]. @DeweyDecibelle #CILIPConf19

[Jaimee McRoberts @JaimeeUK]

There is a growing attention to diversity inclusion within the library profession, has been asked to speak at two different library conferences on this topic in the past 2 weeks. @deweydecibelle #CILIPConf19

Diverse range of sectors and organisations involved in the Be Media Smart campaign. Designed to mirror the how people want to know the source of their food, so surely they want to know the source of their information as well. - Philip Russell #CILIPConf19

We don’t develop resilience if we don’t take risk. Ultimately becomes more risky when we finally encounter that risk. People need to not be afraid of the internet, but use it positively and wisely. @sangeet #CILIPConf19

[Jaimee McRoberts @JaimeeUK]

We all have a different idea about what the internet is today, so works with adults and teachers to ensure everyone has a common knowledge of the internet - so they are in a better position to work with young people on this. @sangeet #CILIPConf19
