Tom Morley: embedding diamond #OpenAccess as part of a wider values-led approach allowed Lancaster to embed an open research culture strategy. This also addresses the crisis in HE funding - we must invest in new alternatives now. University leaders need to listen to their libraries on this #UKSG2026

Deeply moving tribute to Elaine Sykes by Andrew Barker at #uksg2026 - every interaction with her meant a brighter day. @uksg.bsky.social

How joyous! So sorry to have missed this - huge congratulations Jane and everyone on 20 years #lilac2025. I still remember the first...

Almost goosebumps to see Sarah Thompson from York University at the @oipassoc.bsky.social panel, talking about how proud they are to support initiatives they judge as in line with their principles. Including so many @copim.bsky.social things 🤩.

Are you working with research outputs that don't quite fit in - often perceived as OTHER - or supporting those who do? Would you like to join an international conversation to improve the infrastructural landscape to better meet the needs of these communities? #Infra4NTRO

Thanks as always to all those @uksg.bsky.social for the #uksg2025 conference - great organisation of everything, interesting sessions, lovely people to chat with and added bonus of gorgeous Brighton sea view this year.

Forgot the hashtag #uksg2025 Am out of practice!

Agree, it's not that everything has to be open to everyone, but it's that what we have got sucked into is so often talk of compliance which detracts very much, I think, from what the point of arguing for OA should be.

The answer to "How could we get you to do more Open Research?" Answer was "You telling us to!" - but also giving permission to do what works in their field

Yes! I talk lots about specific guidance being incredibly helpful!

@coherentdigital.bsky.social Toby Green speaks to #censorship of US Govt and the dangers of #preservation when content producers "go bad." @datarescueproject.org and other actors are working to preserve this but it's gotta be a community effort. #UKSG2025

I have lost count of the number of times I have pointed this out to people #uksg2025

Heading to #uksg2025 with a slightly later arrival time than intended thanks to trains... Looking forward to seaside and sunshine. Oh, and the conference.

I was there last night too! It was fabulous, and I doubt it'll be long before I read the book again, it's been a while.

Rights retention baked into the new US federal OA policy.

A thoughtful read on the question of what does values-led research assessment actually mean in a global context?

This sounds like a fine suggestion!

look! this account has a function so you can get your pronouns labeled on your account. i don’t understand how… but it works!

Library conferences on BlueSky A list of library and information science conferences, with links to their hashtags on the social media platform BlueSky.

Library/info people (worldwide)-do you know of upcoming conferences that I don’t have on the list? Especially with hashtags (& please encourage conference organisers to set one!). There’s been good BlueSky live posting from many events in the last year, it would be great to continue & develop this 📚

Tasha being very transparent about the shoestring that COUNTER is running under. If we value this work, we need to help support it.

Have been chatting to DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) team at UKSG and genuinely didn't know how much work they all do from all around the world and receiving 1000s of applications a year. #UKSG2024

I think we aren't talking anough about the finding that many articles that would have been green are being published in hybrid journals instead. So, the articles would have been open largely for free, but now we're paying for it instead #UKSG2024
