#LISConference
#medlibs - for the coming MLA conference in May, would it be helpful to create a custom feed for a hashtag or hashtags related to the conference? There is the #LISconference feed already, but this may be a bit generalized 🙂 one could post to both too with the right tags.

Some interesting live tweets coming out of #UKSGForum2023 #LISConference today. Worth a look. 👀

@drbeth.bsky.social posted that they will be there via #LISconference

My use of #LISconference has been sporadic (and potentially misspelt!) so it’s also worth checking #CSGUK23 😉

Students have explained that their introduction to the library and what it offers was different to students starting post-pandemic restrictions #CSGUK23 #LISconference

This chimes with my life-long library experience. The need to be a ‘Loud Librarian’ is a continual way of being, this week alone my department was described as a book procurement team by a PVC. #CSGUK23 #LISconference

“Libraries have been at the forefront of change.
There is a constant need to educate our senior stakeholders in what a library is and does.” #CSGUK23 #LISconference

I’m attending #CSGUK23 today in Edinburgh. It’s the largest In-person conference they’ve ever had… personally I don’t miss the online penguin days. #LISconference

As well as highlighting Library & information relevant conferences #LISconference & hashtags when they’re happening, I’m encouraging people to plan to post from conferences on BlueSky. One that I really hope to see posts & reports from is the Business Librarians Association (BLA) conference #BLA24
The Business Librarians Association (BLA) conference 2024, 26th - 28th June (which sadly I can’t attend this year) has the hashtag #BLA24 I know there are quite a few of my fellow business librarians on here… I’m adding it to the list of library conferences

As well as highlighting the Library and information relevant conferences #LISconference and hashtags when they’re happening, I’m hoping to encourage people to plan to post from conferences on BlueSky. Starting with the Health Libraries Group conference #HLG24
The CILIP Health Libraries Group (HLG) conference 2024 is 20th - 21st June with the #HLG24 hashtag. I’ll be interested to see any posts from this, especially from an evidence synthesis perspective. I’ve added this to the list

Wondering whether there are many people who are around on BlueSky who are attending the #iassist2024 conference - IASSIST & CARTO 2024: Navigating the Future of Data, today until Thursday. I have it on my list here #LISconference

I’ve added several library and information conference hashtags to this since last night, and have more to do. Please keep the ideas coming! #LISconference
March 22, 2024 at 2:14 PM
With (wonderful) hashtags now being here on BlueSky, and seeing posts from #RLUK24 today, I had the idea that we ought to be keeping a record of live library conference posting. So I created a page listing the conference hashtags I know of. Please tell me of any others I should add. #LISconference 📚

Have just downloaded the update. It’s so exciting to see all the hashtags I’ve been using over the months appear as hyperlinks #daysofhappiness #JanuaryJoys #FebruaryThoughts #LISconference #ORL #LibrariesRewired23 (and more on an occasional basis).

Biased responses, hallucinations, too positive, economic barriers, potential bias to what funders want #LISconference #ORL

Ah, good, now we’re hearing about the negatives. AI being a black box (you don’t know how it works. Not reproducible. Data security and privacy concerns. Data governance. Privacy and security. Language of AI - what prompts to use can be a barrier to adoption. #LISconference #ORL
February 12, 2024 at 4:15 PM
Hearing about getting a reading list on a topic, seeing news, a comparison. All done using AI. I worry about people doing this without doing their own critical thinking, and being guided in a biased way. (This is an interesting and good presentation) #LISconference #ORL
February 12, 2024 at 4:13 PM
But I don’t want to get behind the times. Need to understand what’s out there and how it works, for guidance and communication with others. Another issue with time #LISconference #ORL

I’m happier with not using generative AI, partly because of worrying about the ethics of people’s work being used to train the AI without permission or compensation, but also because of but wanting to miss out on the learning I do through doing it myself. #LISconference #ORL
February 12, 2024 at 4:08 PM
Easier for Generative AI to get a full picture and summarise if an article is available open access. #ORL #LISconference I understand the benefits of this, but also wonder about this making people less happy for their articles to be published as open access. Available for all, including Chat GPT…

Increasing number of AI tools, constantly new ones. Only way of getting clear about them is to get your hands dirty and try them out. Difficulty with having time to do for all #ORL #LISconference I’m also feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the ethics of it.

Difference between General or strong AI (advanced), which mostly doesn’t exist yet, and Weak AI. #ORL #LISconference

Ah, very timely, the final talk at #ORL is Andrea Chiarelli on breaking Boundaries: AI’s influence on open research discoverability and impact’ #LISconference
