Question about how we’re supporting students with use of Generative AI, and AI within tools. #BLAWinter24 If it gets good data, it’s valuable. But costs a lot to make available (add-ons) and most people aren’t willing to pay more. Plus the ecological impact. And everything needs to be checked.

We’re not going to catch them all. People do get by without using our resources and services. But we raise the quality and experience #BLAWinter24

A questioner reports an increase in demand for library support. Are other universities experiencing the same? #BLAWinter24 Interest in the question.

Engagement. How do we get our users to attend our information skills services and sessions? How to advertise? #BLAWinter24

Ask faculty whether they’re satisfied with the work studnets are submitting (in relation to quality and sources and our stuff). Suggest collaboration for how we can help improve. #BLAWinter24

Business instruction is a liaison issue more than a pedagogy issue. Need to get the attendance up. #BLAWinter24

Been meaning to try this out since the Playful Learning Conference #PL24 back in July. The #BLAWinter24 conference has finally nudged me to get on here!

Interesting questoons for the round table at #BLAWinter24. First on sources for venture capital data. Then on which information literacy models are good for business librarians? And is there value in creating one? #BLAWinter24

I feel so much the wonderful community we have. A great day. #BLAWinter24

Triple figures, do we reckon? #BLAWinter24 #BLAPSCoT
I wish now that I’d been keeping count of how many times @nedpotter.bsky.social says BLAPSCoT! #BLAWinter24

Well, since @nedpotter.bsky.social suggested I share my BlueSky guide in the #BLAWinter24 Zoom chat, I may as well share it again here too…

Fantastic discussions at #BLAWinter24. Such a wonderful community @blalibnews.bsky.social.

#BLAWinter24 BLAPSCoT was a brilliant way to get everyone in the group to share their tips on presentations.

I've been doing more and more teaching at work, so the presentation by Ned Potter at #blawinter24 was incredibly useful! Thank you!

Practise presentations out of order. It helps if you lose your thread in the presentation, you know what to say at each point #blawinter24 Ned Potter tip.

I'm so excited to have 40 minutes to present at a conference next year (max I've previously had is 20). And yet there is lots to cover, and I know I will need to cut a lot anyway, and consider what is really most important. #BLAWinter24 Ned says whatever the talk is, take 10% off. #ARLGDARTS9

Avoid cramming too much in and skipping slides, saying that they’re not important. #BLAWinter24 And trying to fit 60 minutes of material into a 25 minute slot. I have gotten better at this, but still need improvement.

4) Big fonts, and differing (I think) to activate different read of the brain. 5) Use images. Support your argument with relevant images #BLAWinter24 Get rid of anything you don’t need.

Reminder about the five golden rules for PowerPoint presentations. Helping you to focus on the most important things you want the audience to think about / take away. #BLAWinter24

When designing slides, think about what you actually want attendees to remember #BLAWinter24

I was converted them (in theory anyway) when doing Aurora last year - they worked really well #IamAurora #BLAWinter24

I suppose it's the frustration of running someone online that won't work, when you know that talking in groups would work in person. But there's no point running it in person, as you won't get the attendance that you now get in centrally organised online sessions. #BLAWinter24
