🌟 The highlight of a week of highlights was attending an amazing series of presentations today, following on from another excellent round of UX training for @UoLLibrary by the one and only @andypriestner. The presentations were insightful and inspiring, but they were also incredibly engaging and fun! ✨
Thanks to Andy for guiding another cohort on their UX journey, to David Morgan and @LauraJBeare for their ongoing leadership of the UX & Innovation strand of our Cultural Shift, and, most importantly, to our team for their engagement, energy, and ideas, which have great potential for our community 😊

@mrnick Yes, eventually! I ended up on a later flight to Manchester with onward travel to Leeds. Made it back for 6am (local time) which all in all wasn't too bad considering there was also talk of a flight to Stansted 😲 How was your journey?
I know this will have been special #ALN24 - I owe @TanyaLibrarian a great deal for enthusing my own passion for research services, partnerships, and leadership during our days @LancasterUniLib where I worked on the Research Bites Programme she led 🥰
It was fantastic to hear @TanyaLibrarian speak so passionately about understanding what support and services PGRs need from their libraries during our first session at #ALN24.
Congratulations to @mkhokhar for winning one of the #LIBER2024 Innovation Awards for - The AI Augmented Library: Leading Institutional Generative AI Delivery & to all of the other winners too 🥳👏🏾
@mkhokhar opening the #LIBER2024 panel session on: "New approaches to measuring prevalence and impact of Open Science", featuring @UoLLibrary's very own Nick Sheppard @mrnick - a passionate #OpenResearch advocate, practitioner & leader - I may be biased but this will be 👌🏾🤩👏🏾
@mrnick@ukrepro@UniversityLeeds@rachelbruce touching on the role of the People, Culture and Environment stream of the UK's 2029 Research Excellence Framework in rewarding, recognising and incentivising #OpenResearch practices 🙏🏾
