Learning more about the Cultural Heritage Imaging Laboratory from Amélie - another talk highlighting the intense collaboration between departments, the incredible objects here in Cambridge and the role of library staff in this! Beard hairs and ectoplasm anyone?
There’s some great stuff going on @ALSFcam today! Fantastic organisation by the committee, and great talks
Curating a dream exhibition - Liz White talks about her process curating her exhibition, and gives us a crash course in special collections exhibitions for beginners!
How can we as librarians use our skills as information professionals to support our library patrons with issues of AI? Alberto's presentation takes us through it with curiosity - rejecting utopian/dystopian visions of the technology!
Icebreakers round two! Did you get a full house?
Between the Pages: Ellie and Sofia's presentation takes us on a journey around the library and back in time through the items they found - "scatters of lives hidden between the pages"
Lightning talk 4: the Library, Information and Archive Services Apprenticeship - a different route into librarianship other than completing masters.
Lightning talks 2&3: Decolonising through critical librarianship and room mapping the UL reading room!
First lightning talk: Tamar Drukker talks about the work and collaborations that go into cataloguing the varied collections of Raphael Loewe - and shows us some of the exciting books in the collection.
Icebreaker session with Mentimeter: impressed to see there are some people here who have worked in 7+ libraries in their career!
First talk of the day! @LauraVNG - thinking about the moments that mean something to us in our work
What do Darwin’s Tree of Life, Thatcher’s Spitting Image puppet, & a 5-meter-long Japanese scroll have in common? They've all been photographed by assistant staff @theUL's Cultural Heritage Imaging Laboratory! Amélie Deblauwe tells us more @ ALSF 2024 🎟️calendars.libraries.cam.ac.uk/calendar/ALSFC…
Libraries are home to many hidden treasures! Find out about discoveries Murray Edwards College Library Assistants Ellie Dixon-Coyte and Sofia Frattaroli during their weeding project at the Rosemary Murray Library. calendars.libraries.cam.ac.uk/calendar/ALSFC…
