People are filling this in! 🎉
It's so helpful. Thanks all, and thank you for the RTs too.
Library people of X! Can you do me one last favour?
I'm seeking input on what people need from a book on #library marketing, if I were to write another...
There's a brief form here: forms.gle/GHenpef6RLXEZEGB7
If you can fill it in / RT I'd appreciate it massively. Thank you.
ALT I’d like your input on a (possible) marketing book. I wrote The Library Marketing Toolkit around 13 years ago and publishers have asked a few times for a follow up. I’ve always said no, partly because if DID write another book about marketing I’d want it to be much more affordable, and available Open Access. I’m now seriously thinking about taking the leap and writing a library marketing volume, OA and self-published, and would love to know what people in the library world want and need from this sort of book. If you can fill in a very short 5-question form, it would help me out a lot. Thank you!

Welcome to Cambridge: we start our teaching weeks on a Thursday, we celebrate May Week in June, and many of our Engineering students lack structure and end up working in finance. We’re either ceaselessly innovative or we badly need the #uxlibs gang… come and find out which 👇

Sharing the 1st part of a SWOT analysis of academic libraries. The abstract and tables will cut to the chase if you are in a hurry! Massive thanks to @leoappleton for his support as editor of @NewRevAcadLib and also to a phenomenally helpful peer reviewer doi.org/10.1080/13614533.202…

“I cannot recommend this conference highly enough. If the implicitly beneficial nature of the whole UX ethos isn’t enough to pull you in, then let 3 days spent amongst these fantabulous, relentlessly positive folk be the catalyst to developing your own set of user-centred wings”: – at Yorkshire and The Humber, England
Finally got round to reflectively blogging about my fantastic 3-day 'UX in Libraries' conference experience this year. #uxlibs 😎 awaterfallofconsciousness.wo…

In 2025 gaat voor gemeenten een zorgplicht voor bibliotheken gelden. Een goede bibliotheek in elke gemeente. Daar wordt de Bibliotheekwet voor aangepast. Vandaag hebben we met een groep gemeenteambtenaren besproken hoe dat zou kunnen. Dank voor de ideeën! rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen…

Also interesting reflections on the perception of the role of the librarian. We should be more than someone who can support struggling students. We should be there at the beginning of their research journey, not the end. @uswbuslib #BLA23

Did you present about UX research or a related technique or tool at ALA Annual? Consider turning it into an article for Weave! We're happy to work with you on every step of the process! #ALAAC23 #LibUX #UX #UserExperience #CoreALAAC23

Lightbulb moment from @thelibraryhelp. We write up our results to help our future selves, future decision makers and future learners. This is a crucial part of the story.
You never know what will happen next. #UXLibs

Libraries can be vehicles for strong democratic participation - democratic confidence in the place you’re in, it doesn’t have to be political #uxlibs
