@Little_Giggly Which was the best?

[Angela Platt @acplatt87]

We are in dire need of posts for our @ciliplndn blog...are you a librarian? Do you have something to say regarding your experience in your profession?... (I'm sure you do!) Please contact me! #librarians @CILIPinfo

@Darklecat @CILIPCIG Hi Karen I’ll take a look and have a think - thanks for suggesting it

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

Help #librarytwitter! I'm researching #LGBTQ material #cataloguing in UK #publiclibraries. Do you work at a public library that employs cataloguers? (Are you one!?)
Do you work at a public library which downloads catalogue records from a service like BDS? #librarylife #librarians

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

@mattlibrarian UK public library - we used to charge £4 but this recently went up to £20 (because each British Library ILL is estimated to cost the service £60). Obviously this puts a lot of customers off

[Stef Dickers @stefdickers]

Calling Librarians out there!! Fancy joining the #library & #archives team @BishopsgateInst to help us catalogue our wonderful collection of #London & #activist pamphlets? More info here: https://t.co/6UBUCfBzyK…

@JaneGrovesBooks @csoundar Love this Jane! Captured everything that is great about the summer reading challenge ❤️

[Jane Groves @JaneGrovesBooks]

I did a little guest blog post about the #SummerReadingChallenge over on @csoundar’s blog. It gives you a look at behind the scenes of what the library staff do to make this amazing challenge work. I hope you like it (& understand why I haven’t been on here as much as I’d like).

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

@Lurkio38 Yes of course

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

@Colette_lis @lamlibs Thanks!

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

@WSCCLibraries @hippybrarian Great will do, thanks!

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

@WSCCLibraries @hippybrarian Do you have cataloguing staff? What in-house cataloguing do you do versus downloading records?

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

@JaneDaniels1 @CILIPCIG Will do

[Cressida Cowell @CressidaCowell]

And here is my @Waterstones Children’s Laureate Reading Charter (or giant ‘TO DO’ list...) I love a quest.

Provoking session -Diversity in the profession panel at #CILIPConf19 Great lineup. Frustrating we still need to discuss this after 30 years when I first entered into this debate within the profession. @DeweyDecibelle @ThomasPeachLib @libbrynolf @InfoPro_Tasha @heenakaravadra

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

Homeward bound from #CILIPConf19. Feeling excited, challenged, inspired, encouraged, hopeful and ready for my bed. 🛏😴

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

@libbrynolf @DeweyDecibelle @InfoPro_Tasha @heenakaravadra @ThomasPeachLib Thank you so much all of you for being vulnerable and sharing stories which, as was said, can be incredibly hard to share

[Sally Nicholas 📚 @sallyallyannie]

Q: How do we challenge the reverence we pay to figures like Melvil Dewey? A: teach students to be CRITICAL. This has been a part of my MA @UCLDIS - shout out to @AnneWelsh who constantly taught us to question inherent bias during Cat & Class. #CILIPConf19 @DeweyDecibelle
