Our final two #ASL2025 speakers!Ann O'Sullivan from A&L Goodbody speaks about the changes in the information landscape over her 30 years of librarianship. Jenny O'Neill from Asiera explores how core library competencies are increasingly essential within national research infrastructure initiatives.

Very reassuring to hear library leader Niamh Tumelty say she thinks the "bookless library" is unlikely to come to fruition. I love a digital resource at much as the next person, but this humble piece of technology changed the world as much as AI ever will, and I still love them too!!! #asl2025

Clare Conneally, a white woman with grey hair wearing a white top and blue trouser, gives a presentation at the Academic and Special Libraries Conference in an ornate room with tall arched windows, golden curtains, and a chandelier. A banner with the A&SL logo is displayed at the front, and attendees are seated in rows facing the speaker and a large screen showing a slide titled “Reflective Growth.” The photo is framed by a whimsical, colorful border in the Informed Learning colours of pink, teal, purple and orange.
