UEA Humanities librarian, so mostly library things to be found here. But tweets and views my own and will sometime stray into personal or political areas...

[UEA UCU says join a union @UEA_UCU]

🔁Repost this thread to help share the highlights from this week's Staff Assembly, where the UEA community used its voice LOUD & CLEAR to tell management to change course in its handling of the current crisis. #SaveUEA #UKHE @ucu [1/10]

@niamhtumelty It seems to me that open research is gaining some traction now. Certainly preferable in engaging with HSS.

Fancy creating your own display in the Library?

We are looking for student volunteers who would like to work with us to curate a display. This could include art, books, objects - or anything that interests you.

Email us at [email protected] for more information.

@UEALibrary As well as suggesting books and giving us feedback and ideas, we're also really keen to see some student-led displays

[Grant Young @younggrant]

If you're on campus, make sure you check out the Black History Month display

[Grant Young @younggrant]

And also our table on Decolonising @UEALibrary and how you can get involved

Congrats @UEAArchives Justine Mann!

Justine has been awarded a Fellowship funded by the AHRC-RLUK Professional Practice Fellowship Scheme for research and academic libraries to explore how archives can involve communities in developing collections to address underrepresentation.

Have you seen our new soundproof study booth? 

Located on Floor 0, this neat new addition to the Library is the perfect place to take phone and video calls, so you can cut out the background noise and distractions!

And a whole summer of reading here...

Great to see new book display in @UEALibrary to mark South Asian Heritage Month

[Grant Young @younggrant]

And still a few more days to grab books (and badges!) from here

Graduating this week? Still have Library items to return?

You’re in luck! We have a Library book return box stationed outside The Enterprise Centre - only a two-minute walk from the Sportspark.

Huge congrats to those graduating this week!

[UEA Library @UEALibrary]

Research conducted by @uniofeastanglia has shown that the typical Library provides services each year "worth £1m", and their value "could equate to six times their running costs."

Fantastic to see the importance of Libraries highlighted! @libsconnected
