Delighted to share I’m starting a new role as #SpecialCollections & #Archives Librarian at the #UniversityofWorcester! Creating a new University archive will be both challenging & deeply rewarding. Looking forward to re/connecting with alumni old & new, hearing those stories, seeing the photos!

Many challenges to being a practitioner researcher @alicecann.bsky.social but huge personal, institutional (and beyond) benefits #darts9

@alicecann.bsky.social was transformed by the experience of the #RLUK Research Catalyst Cohort, in creating her self-identity as a ‘researcher librarian’ & developing as an evidence synthesis librarian. #darts9

@alicecann.bsky.social talking about being a researcher librarian. As a result of her journey, she now sees herself as a teaching-led researcher. Experience & growth in self-perception / -confidence 💚

Day 2 begins! #TimWales talking about publishing #darts9
Tip no1: start small (eg internal newsletters); no2: be bold (seize opportunities to publish in bigger publications); no3: write & publish a case study
