Yup. And a whole bunch of other names - Shobna Gulati, Stephen Fry, Hugh Dennis ...
I can only think other peoples spam filters are blocking the reaction emails so they don't realise what happens when you do it. The alternative is too horrible to contemplate
The challenge can be separating what librarians want / need from an interface versus what users want / need
I realised after sharing it that I actually saw a different cast for the west end transfer. It was just the sort of lightness I needed - will probably watch this version

Long boi
Ah - we saw the west end transfer with Olly Alexander, Stephen Fry, Hugh Dennis, Shobna Gulati - so on reflection a completely different cast in the same show! Will have to watch this one
A really fun show
I particularly enjoy the ones where they start a group call in the chat and then it just sits there open for hours
'"I can code this from scratch" is way more impressive than you might think given toxic industry pro-AI nonsense. The same goes for writing clearly, reading and comprehending journal articles, thinking things through.'

Moorland pottery. Unique each year - you have to complete all six races in the series to get one. The design this time is a thank you to the guy who processed all the results for the last 18 years
One of the most sought after prizes in amateur athletics. A moorland pottery mug unique to those who made all the races in this years Chingford League

Was amused to come across a shop selling all this stuff in Hull
Dancing is highly therapeutic- just don't sit down!
Went dancing with the not quite twenty child the other week. Other than being fit for nothing the next day - a good time was had by all. He went on somewhere after it finished at 1.30am mind!
Many people also have big gaps in their understanding and unchallenged assumptions about what their options are
Out of curiousity - what are the most effective outreach approaches that you use? Is RoI something you try and measure? Always interested in how people reach their users effectively
But I don't doubt the logistics would be awful
It varies by org here but looking across the system - if 100 hospital library teams each spoke to 1k people in a year that would represent a not insignificant part of the workforce. Doubtless it would hit higher proportions of the parts of the workforce with the higher evidence needs
A team of three that is dealing with 6k people in a hospital organisation
In my example you might be looking at talking to a quarter of the people in your organisation each year. The better informed people would also talk to their colleagues which is frequently powerful. The time to organise talking to people would be the bigger barrier I expect
May not sound big but if a team of three spoke to 30 individuals a week, even with time off, that would be well over a thousand people a year. Better informed people would tell other people and take that knowledge as they travelled. Half an hour would be enough for most users
Reviewing interviews with NHS staff about how they access & use evidence. My conclusion is we could effect massive change by each NHS librarian spending one hour a day asking individuals what evidence they need and how they currently access it and then offering some tailored help #medlibs 📚
That they were on the invite is the only saving grace
Today in the panopticon - a well known corporate AI tool tells someone who wasn't at a meeting that you were wondering if they had done something
Good to see this opening a bit again #Loughton #EppingForest more post boxes than you can imagine
