Hello dear readers, I hope the summer has been good to you so far. Unbelievable that it’s already August, eh? Time and tide wait for no librarian, as they (almost) say. Today has been a really pleasant one so far. There has been a well-being event right outside the library doors, and I snagged myself […]

Hello friends, I hope you’re having a good day. It’s glorious weather here, and I’m looking forward to eating my lunch in the lovely tranquility garden here at George Eliot. It’s a smashing place to relax for half an hour, especially if you’ve got a good book, and I’ve got a corker! It’s our latest […]

And so it goes on… Life, work, the to do lists. They never stop do they? I’m finding it difficult at the moment to find time to work on my chartership. Really difficult. There’s just always something else to do, something more pressing. And CPD is always at the bottom of the to do pile. […]

So, at the start of June it’ll be year since I started here at George Eliot hospital as a clinical librarian, and as you do, I’ve been reflecting on my move into health libraries and how I’ve fared over the past year. Prompted by a conversation at a networking day last week, I’d written a […]

I’ve got the Post Lilac conference blues… Is a Lilac-blue more of a lavender? Well I’ve been a little bit lavender this week then, but not too much. I’ve still got so much to process from last week’s conference, however it took me a couple of days to recover. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it, recovering from […]

Lilac conference day 2 What, no famous author tweets Lisa? Well, no, sorry, not today. Let me tell you about the day though, because there’s still lots of hear about, and all in all, I think day 2 was more enjoyable than day 1 in many ways. For a start there was more cake. Always […]

LILAC 19 part 1 Thank you to Health Education England who awarded me a bursary to attend this year’s LILAC conference. For those of you who haven’t heard of LILAC, it’s the annual information literacy conference for librarians and other information professionals, and quite honestly, it’s great. So Day 1 is over, and I’m shattered, […]

Hello readers, you’re looking smashing today. There are blue skies and sunshine outside my window- deceiving me into thinking it’s warm out there. It’s the Spring equinox today, so there is a certain lightness to my step, I must admit. Sunshine is a definite mood lifter for me. There have been several other mood enhancers […]

Oh wow, what a few weeks! Such a busy time, but really exciting too. I’ve attended awareness days, presented workshops and squeezed in a bit of desk work too. Firstly the workshop I presented. I mentioned it in my last blog post. It had seemed a long way away and then all of a sudden […]

Good morning friends, and it’s a frosty one outside my window today. I’m not a fan- defrosting the car is something I could happily never do again! Still the office is nice and warm, so I thought I’d do a quick update! I’ve been struck over the past fortnight by how quickly some things can […]
