New Libfocus post by @stephaniechen.bsky.social @ucclibrary.bsky.social, based on delegate input at @aslibraries.bsky.social conference reflecting on what librarianship means today & for those in the profession: evolving roles, skills, and focus on access and users. www.libfocus.com/2026/05/what...
After a (self-imposed) hiatus from conferences last year, I'm so glad I submitted to #ASL2026 to ease myself back into it. Well done and thanks to the @aslibraries.bsky.social committee for putting on an interesting and inspiring programme ✨
Join a committee! @laicdgroup.bsky.social is a great one 😉 #ASL2026
Dr Robert Whan showing some examples of UX in libraries from Queen's University Belfast (and of course there was an @andypriestner.bsky.social shout-out) #ASL2026
Presentation slide from @jennylibrarian.bsky.social asking are you a data steward? (I'd argue the answer for everyone is yes...yes you are a data steward so check out @sonrai.bsky.social) #ASL2026
#ASL2026 The self-inflicted mediocrity of Google ensures it will never replace librarians. Same for LLMs.

There's a challenge, a tension, I think, between instilling ethical values but not developing Fobazi Ettarh's (gone far too soon) idea of vocational awe.
