I've been trying to think of useful things for libraries joining Bluesky, and I've come to the conclusion that sector-specific starter packs would come in handy.

First up: academic libraries. bsky.app/starter-pack...

Please please please give me examples I should add to this! 📚

How can we design an #accessible #learning resource as educators?

Recognising the challenge of navigating guidance like UDL & WCAG - we made this resource as a one-page guide!

Thanks @lthechat.bsky.social @vampirelinguist.bsky.social @drmaeve.bsky.social for hosting!

Loved my first #LTHEchat last night, discussing #thirdspace in #highereducation

My recent co-authored article draws on research about technicians, WP and academic administration in the UK, to argue that thirdspace should be conceived as a way of working: journals.uclpress.co.uk/lre/article/...

Please could I be added?

A6 #LTHEchat this feels like the space to do a shameless plug for my research article on this topic?? co-authored with Kelly Vere and Tara Webster-Deakin
journals.uclpress.co.uk/lre/article/...

Agree on this - I went round in a few circles finding the ethics committee and how to get some external funding into the system!

@drmaeve.bsky.social they often can. have you found that some can't?

Completely agree with this - I'd add your student administration managers to that list too 😀
