Building, supporting and sustaining community is hard graft and isn't recognised as much as it should be.

If you know someone in HE or FE going above and beyond to do that, you can nominate them in Jisc's Community Champions 2025 awards to celebrate their work (closing 15 Dec).

Catching up on this webinar with Jess Pilgrim-Brown which I’d missed, ‘Working-class professional service and administrative staff in UK higher education: reflections on reward, recognition and responsibility’. Excellent.

‘Information literacy: social class perspectives — at LILAC 2024’: https://www.preater.com/2024/04/19/information-literacy-social-class-perspectives-at-lilac-2024/

We’ve written a follow-up blog post for our @Infolitgroup #lilac24 panel to address more of the themes, comments and questions that we couldn't cover on the day.

Huge thanks to the contributors to our Padlet ahead of time and in the session. Our call to action is for all of us, regardless of social class background, to continue these conversations in our own libraries and communities.
