Now with the current job description! It's a permanent role, and no, the salary isn't amazing but the people are, and you can really make a difference to how people access digital collections at the British Library
Exciting news for anyone interested in the fifteenth century. The UK's annual conference will this year take place in the beautiful city of Canterbury on 3rd-5th September 2026, hosted by MEMS @kent.ac.uk - and registration is now open. Hope you can join us:

what's the point of an arrivals board if it doesn't say what platforms most of them are arriving on, and they disappear off when they've arrived?
Surely, the platform they arrive on, even with late ones, is known quite a while in advance. So if you aren't going to tell us, why have the display?!
Wherever I see this view, I think "Not long now"!
This is actually really interesting, slightly scary, and a tad depressing.
What are good strategies to manipulate #AI summarisation through structural cues that exploit the attention layer mechanisms? That is, to include certain things in your text to make it more likely the AI summarising the work will treat that point as more important?
