Are you interested in supporting fellow UK LGBTQ+ librarians?
I'm stepping down as chair of LGBTQ+ Network at the end of my 2 year term in the summer. Maybe you'd like to take over?
Great opportunity to push your agenda, get know in the sector & build a wide range of skills.
Happy to prelim chat
Well done to the amazing #lilac25 team - such a fantastic conference. I am leaving inspired and enthused! I particularly enjoyed the fabulous keynotes of @jsecker.bsky.social and @elinorcarmi.bsky.social and hearing about the brilliant work of @bookelf.bsky.social researching the impact of LILAC

EC just flagged the minimum digital living standard mdls.org.uk - which seeks to move digital inclusion policy and research debates beyond simple measures of access and skills. #lilac25
Me too … luckily my iPad is currently being used by the committee to record Elinor’s keynote so I think I’ll watch again on the way home :)
Love the idea of networks of literacies - Elinor Carmi - working with the communities around you to show there are other ways of thinking - micro changes are important #lilac25

Time for the Day 3 keynote at #lilac25! Elinor Carni will be talking about "Data Citizenship: Learning to take action in a datafied society"
A plea from @jsecker.bsky.social to capture evidence of the impact of IL - this report shows this is largely coming from HE mila.org.uk/wp-content/u... #lilac25
Jane advocating for us all to get teaching qualifications if we can - and if we already do, stay in touch with our academic development colleagues, they have the power to embed things like information literacy in the training of teachers #lilac25
I hope this is the soundtrack to tonight’s conference dinner #lilac25
“Copyright represents power and people who have power” @jsecker.bsky.social #lilac25 “librarians have a crucial role in maintaining the balance in copyright law”
@jsecker.bsky.social recommending a revisit to this article Why Information Literacy Is Invisible pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/cgi/viewcont... #lilac25
@jsecker.bsky.social likening librarians to the rebel alliance #lilac25 - IL as the force that can be put to great good but also has bad uses

The essence of @jsecker.bsky.social #lilac25
The amazing Nigel Morgan has brought back the Cephalonian method to introduce @jsecker.bsky.social … did he mention he won the IL award #lilac25
Time for the inspiring @jsecker.bsky.social #lilac25 a lifelong advocate for IL
Great write up of @patchedelbows.bsky.social #lilac25 research from @pammckinney.bsky.social ! information-literacy.blogspot.com/2025/04/live... thanks Pam!
Great quote from the research with PGs: "I always use Wikipedia but never cite it, because my professors don't like it! I find information from Wikipedia and attribute it to a book" #lilac25
Stephen Thornton - suggests on his journey through IL that he found himself dealing with the paradox that “The more sophisticated IL becomes as a concept the less likely it will be used in the classroom by academics” #lilac25
Now time for the day one keynote, given by Dr Stephen Thornton, Reader in Politics at Cardiff University, on "Light at the end of the tunnel? Twenty Years of Information Literacy in the Politics Classroom" #lilac25
Fabulous to see the amazing Debbi Boden-Angell virtually welcoming us to the 20th anniversary of #lilac25 - the slides seemed to contain my entire history of hairstyles…
