User engagement - many of us are active and prolific users of social media platforms in our personal life. A lunch break or a tea break does not go past without a quick "like" or retweet. Why is it that when it comes to using them in our professional capacity many of us turn into lurkers? What does it take to get more librarians to actively use public and private group social media platforms to communicate with each other? |

The Dead Hand of Organisation. We have talented, enthusiastic people with a strong sense of library mission and purpose - until the organisation knocks it out of them. We need a better way of supporting service delivery. |

Old Scottish song and tunebooks tell us so much about their compilers’ interests and values – if librarians are shown rare books or manuscripts of this sort, they should not underestimate their value, not only to musicians but to social historians too. |
