Retired but strangely busy academic.
Great opportunity to learn, contribute and build your research skills and networks.
Registrations for the LARK Circle 2025 have been extended until Tuesday, 22 April. If you are an LIS professional looking to enhance your research skills or work on a practice-based research project, now is the time to register.
A great opportunity to start or develop your research-based #LIS practice with like minded colleagues. Two experienced researchers, @bhuvauts.bsky.social and @suzanasukovic.bsky.social, are looking forward to facilitating your learning.

My favourite library quote is from newsman Walter Cronkite:
‘Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation’
