When Trump was on twitter previously, even though I had muted every mention of his name, my timeline was awash with people sharing every word he tweeted, whether in shock, outrage or support. Constantly hearing his fascistic inanities is exhausting. He is a drain on humanity.

When we are asked to picture #Leaders, we might turn to the pages of Information Professional. Here we find accounts of fellow #librarians and #Knowledge Managers who have spotted a need, a gap in service provision, an opportunity, and led change and seen it through.

Important conversation yesterday - no library, museum or archive is an island. Their collections form a "tapestry of knowledge" spread across many locations. Actions that diminish any one part diminish the whole. See also heritagecollections.org.uk

Great conversations today about the future - libraries are no longer defined by what they contain within their walls, but who they empower, what they enable and the value they create beyond them.

Wise words from 's CEO on the potential demise of Twitter ... and the implications that has for us all
Quote Tweet
Replying to @GaryJHorrocks
It's why open societies should not surrender knowledge or communications infrastructure to private ownership. Twitter should always have been a Commons, and we need to get behind wiki and federated tools that re-decentralise the Web.
