Prof Prachi SrivastavaEvery year the Oxfam Global Inequality Report comes out and every year, pretty much the same message.
Money and assets are held in the hands of incredibly few at numbers that are staggeringly high, while the great majority is left out.

Andrew PreaterBlog post from @ijclark on 'Critical citation practice — a workshop', developed from work at Goldsmiths: https://rawclarktexts.medium.com/critical-citation-practice-a-workshop-091164dc56e4

Folks, I can't tell you the number of times I've heard librarians suggest a library #apprenticeship would be a great idea and solve many issues, unaware that such a thing was being developed already.
So, please support this Level 7 apprenticeship for LIS because this is it. This is the solution.
