ALN is a group of higher education libraries in the north of England. We facilitate events, special interest groups and communities of practice.

Is anyone out there?

We've been considering whether to maintain our presence on Mastodon (we also use Bluesky, Instagram and LinkedIn) and we don't think we have a particularly active base here (and have been having issues posting images.)

Please let us know if this channel of communication is useful to you.

Check out these beautiful books, very kindly donated to us by our #ALN25 platinum sponsors, Manchester University Press , for our analogue social media competition πŸ“š Thank you so much! Congratulations to our lucky winner, Kirsty Hemsworth 😊

What an incredible day at #ALN25 last Friday! πŸŽ‰

Huge thanks to our planning team, presenters, attendees, sponsors, and everyone who helped bring the day to life - we couldn’t have done it without you!

Little by little we made our way to keynotes, workshops, tours of the poetry library, sponsor stalls, lunch and lightning talks. We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did 😊

We’re about to host the closing talk of the conference, where we’ll announce the winners of our competitions and bring the day to a close #ALN25

Our sponsors help to make the conference the success it always is!

Thank you to our silver sponsors: Content Online; De Gruyter Brill; HS Talks; The Social History Archive; VitalSource; Clarivate; and Bloomsbury Publishing.
