Every Monday (not Bank holidays) at 11.30 and 14.00 the @V_and_A National Art Library staff give a free talk about an item in their collection. This morning Vicky Worsfold presented Maria Sibylla Merian's Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium (1705). vam.ac.uk/blog/museum-life/e…

Providing access and research support to users is one of our key roles, so it is a pleasure to be part of the induction weeks of the new MSc and MRes students from @imperialcollege and @ucl embarking on their courses with @NHM_London as they progress in their scientific careers.

Happy birthday @MarDixon Dixon 🎂 Miss you so very much 😘 Thought I should try to use one of the daft things I’d picked up from your memorial to mark the day. I know my work was one of your favourite museums, so it felt fitting 😂🤣

Lovely to see my book, The Kind Librarian, is rippling out already. We need more kindness and although my book is about libraries a lot of it can transfer to other scenarios. @facetpublishing @CILIPinfo #Kindness ##TheKindLibrarian – at Burgess Hill, England

Due to an operation I’m being given a small, temporary window into disability. Yesterday was my first significant trip out. Thank you @RHSWisley & @RHSLibraries for your calm (dry) spaces, wonderful volunteers, wheelchairs, smooth paths & pick up service.

How to relax and recover on a warm day, after an operation? Be passed an ice cream, stay on the sofa, do as you are told and tune into @AnimalHistories conference
