Information is a conversation.
Go where the conversation is.
Bring the conversation back to the library.
All communications are rooted in values which foster a progressive framing of library services, information services, and the university.
We understand that every flier, sign, post, message and conversation is a strand of a larger narrative we are telling about ourselves and about the libraries.
We prioritise the development of our own and our users’ aptitudes for the use of communications channels.
We understand how students see library services communications online and on campus.
There remains something of a disconnect between how research librarians themselves see their role and its responsibilities and how these are viewed by their faculty colleagues. Jeannette Ekstrøm, Mikael Elbaek, Chris Erdmann and Ivo Grigorov imagine how the research librarian of the future might work, utilising new data science and digital skills to drive more collaborative and open scholarship. Arguably this future is already upon us but institutions must implement a structured approach to developing librarians’ skills and services to fully realise the benefits.
Libraries are co-evolving with the changing HE landscape.
A lot is happening and this blog is intended to highlight some of the most important and interesting developments in libraries.
It’s also a place where staff at St. Peters can share their own projects with other library staff.
It’s a public blog in the hopes that others find this interesting to them.
