The 'Life Below Water' podcast I recorded with Tadhg Dennehy, PhD student in UCC is live on UCC Library's podcast channel. Tadhg describes how he created 'After LPW Renouf', his Culture Night 2023 audio-visual installation. Tadhg was inspired by Renouf's 'Preliminary work of a new biological station' (1931). Based on Tadhg using this Special Collections' item, I created an exhibition section on UCC's activities at Lough Hyne. https://shows.acast.com/ucc-library-podcast/episodes/675994c2c2a496b7a32fc2cb #StudentResearch #podcast #StudentEngagement

I get asked a lot about where to go since Archivist Twitter doesn't really exist anymore. On Wednesday October 25 from 3:15 PM-4:00 PM Eastern, I’m hosting a free online event for learning how to use Mastodon to connect with all your archivist pals! Joining me will be the glammr.us mods @joshuatj @elenarchivist and @platypus. This event won’t be recorded, but I will send a handout to all who register. Register here and spread the word! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjqsaq8KP-mHRc5o0s8eKRCKAh6eix5zljZl9U4Je3VveMKQ/viewform

Introduction to Mastodon registration

…Do you like keeping up with archivists, librarians, and curators? …Are you weirded out by billionaire tech bros with no business sense? …Does it seem like there’s always a new algorithm messing with your social media? There’s an alternative to all of this, and it’s Mastodon. On Wednesday October 25 from 3:15 PM-4:00 PM Eastern, Eira Tansey (Memory Rising, LLC) is hosting a free online event for learning how to use Mastodon to connect with all your archivist pals! Joining Eira will be Joshua Ng, Elena Colón-Marrero, and Ruth Tillman, the moderators of glammr.us. You must register via this form to receive the Zoom link. The Zoom link will be sent out the morning of the event. This event won’t be recorded, but Eira will send a handout to all who register after the event is over. According to the mods, “glammr.us is a space for folks interested in productive conversation about, well, galleries, libraries, archives, museums, memory work and records. It is pronounce "glamorous" as our work are often charmingly or fascinatingly attractive, especially in a mysterious or magical way.” If you’re looking for a new online home, register for our event and learn more!

On this day in 1962, Rachel Carson published "Silent Spring" at great personal risk and against tremendous backlash, as she was dying, catalyzing the modern environmental movement with her bravery of speaking inconvenient truth to power https://t.co/DRwh8xuzi8
