Anyone here doing or done research in FE libraries? Perhaps you read something recently? I'm not finding a lot out there... I'm looking for inspiration for my MA project in LIS. Thanks #FELibraries

It's beginning to look a little bit festive in the @derbycollege.bsky.social libraries. This tree was rescued and lovingly restored by our library assistants and decs made from old books. Was great chatting to Molly, our sustainability officer about supporting college initiatives #GreenLibraries

Finally got round to listening to this today - a really interesting stance on library transitions. Lots of food for thought especially around breaking down barriers for users. This would be of interest to any school librarians working with 6th form students too. Thanks @thatlibraryman.bsky.social
If anyone was unable to attend my webinar on easing the transition of students from FE to HE from a library perspective, delivered for @uksg.bsky.social last Friday, the recording is now available here: attendee.gotowebinar.com/recording/12...

Great to hear @pierstorday.bsky.social effecting change within the publishing industry
Libraries are some of the oldest and biggest carbon capture sites in the world, and have a vital role to play in tackling climate change. Keynote @pierstorday.bsky.social suggests more books should be put in libraries, schools and prisons rather than being pulped. #GreenLibraries. 💚
