Dear All,

Our July’s #uklibchat shall be discussing Librarianship across borders. In particular, we shall look deeper into how this aspect of our profession can develop strong connections and establish collaborations across library sectors and become a global opportunity for all involved.

Librarianship can link people across borders, sectors and time. Librarians are active through international networks such as #uklibchat, Career Development Group (Library Association of Ireland) and  LARK Library Applied Research Kollektive, Australian Twitter chats, International Librarians Network, and CILIP’s Special Interest Groups, andSLA Europe.

Many librarians have moved internationally for job possibilities and hope to remain connected with previous colleagues.

It opens up new possibilities within your career and library sector, providing new insights and a renewed energy for librarianship.

Within this twitter chat, Library and Information Professionals can discuss the opportunities and challenges these new networks bring. More importantly, we can give new LIS Professionals an insight into how Librarianship across borders can strengthen our profession all the more.

Our agenda for the chat is active, please add any questions you would wish to see discussed:
