I mean if working with @ScholTom wasn’t enough of an inducement, you could be OA’s own John McLain. How could you refuse??

Librarians are really well placed to be researchers and advocate and campaign for social justice. I wonder if we always realise this about ourselves and our profession 🤔 #libpmc
We should love our values and we can bring about meaningful, powerful change. Love this!!! #libpmc
Librarians need to recognise and feel confident in their own expertise. There’s a lot of imposter syndrome in the system. That Really resonates here @bakedbeanpizza #libpmc
So thrilled to see @joannefitz on this list. So, so well deserved for an inspiring and dedicated colleague!
We are so proud to announce the #CILIP 125 List and introduce the next generation of professionals who will help lead the sector into a new age of information. Are you on it? Congratulations to all and huge thanks to those who took the time to nominate. cilip.org.uk/news/645604/CIL…
Top presentation tip…when seeking to look professional remember to close the door on all the family’s pants drying in the background 😂😂😂 #libpmc
Was not expecting to have to draft a first ever data management plan today…thank goodness for the amazing @joannefitz and her unparalleled knowledge of all things RDM!!
