Sunday, 26 July 2015. At the beginning of July I spent a couple of days in Liverpool at CILIP Conference 2015. Having been lucky enough to win a bursary from the ARLG London and South East region.

Katie the Librarian: January 2015
http://librariankatie.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 January 2015. HLF conference 2014: Beyond the bid. The 2014 Historic Libraries Forum conference took fundraising, project management and related issues as its theme. I was one of the co-organisers, and also hosted it at Brunel University Library. These topics had been suggested by attendees at previous conferences and workshops. Slides from most of the speakers are available on the HLF website. Took time away from working on other projects - with a small staff someone still has to do the work.
