A free online event: ALISS showcase: strength and diversity through co creation and curation in library and archive settings on 17 July 2025 at 13.45-16.45 BST/UK time. "This afternoon event showcases a range of practical projects where library and archive services are harnessing the perspectives and expertise of their current and potential user communities to create more appropriate and better collections and services for all". Speakers are:
- The Student Curator Project: Creating connections through collections and beyond – Catherine Batson and Ivana Jurisic, University of Surrey, UK (running a collaborative staff-student partnership project based around the collections and resources in the Library);
- Liberate the Library: co-production and collaboration with students at the University of Sheffield - Rhian Stephenson, University of Sheffield, UK (discussing The Creative Library (Liberate the Library) Project);
- The Fitba Research Club - Dora Petherbridge, curator, National Library of Scotland, Scotland "The Fitba Research Club’s community curators developed research skills and information literacy to explore a rich history of sporting achievement and to create the Andrew Watson’s XI, an all-star fantasy team of Black footballers and footballers of colour who played in Scotland."
