An excellent Q asked by the moderator at #SCURL22 about the possibility that what we're building will have commercial value. We recently released a statement emphasising that we're building infrastructure that is *not* for commercial acquisition: copim.pubpub.org/pub/copim-s… #OA
Great to hear progress being made with @SCURLScottish Scottish Universities Press. Some folk know we've been working on Aberdeen University Press at @aberdeenuni Our timing (accidental but fortuitous) means I can share today's press release: abdn.ac.uk/news/16085/ #SCURL22 1/5

Interested to know if anyone is introducing functionality in their discovery system to help our users alert us if they see issues with how we are representing our collections e.g. to propose that we change subject headings, etc. We are poised to do this @aberdeenunilib #SCURL22
Great presentation from U of Glasgow's @kellyarnstein on user centred research as part of developing a new digital collections interface #scurl22

One of the advantages of having your own public library in the building is that you can trust the amazing public library staff @silvercitylibs to provide the right titles to 'read yourself happy' #SCURL22 abdn.ac.uk/library/using-lib…

Listening to a fascinating paper on libraries and mental health at #SCURL22 - no cat cafe @aberdeenunilib yet, but students have loved the dogs 🐶
Today from 2-3pm is our last Therapets session for the semester. Take a break from studying and pop down to the ground floor for some Nevis and Fonzie cuddles before they break for summer. #MentalHealthAwarnessWeek

Listening to @LizBrewster and @iSchoolAndrew at #SCURL22 on "Mental health and well-being support in libraries" and recalling that @aberdeenunilib was one of 5 UK university libraries who joined @AlterlineAction market research into this in 2019-20 alterline.co.uk/role-of-libr…
