Are you a librarian who self-identifies as autistic? Do you live in Ireland? I would love to interview you for my thesis!

If you are interested in participating, contact me at grace.dolan1@ucdconnect.ie.

If you don’t fit the demographic but would still like to help out, please share this post!
Image text reads: I am currently looking for participants to interview for my MLIS thesis, exploring the lived experiences of autistic librarians in Ireland. The goal of this research is to highlight the experiences of autistic librarians, a group that have been significantly understudied in LIS literature, with no research existing for the Irish context.

Someone managed to bypass both safety systems in the local sandwich shop.
Two plugs plugged into a double socket. One plug is marked with a black x. The socket it is plugged into has the following message written on it "Do not turn on". This socket is switched on.
