Scotland now has fewer schools with a librarian than the rest of the UK, this needs to change. If any MSPs would like to find out more about the impact of school librarians and libraries come and chat to us, last day in @ScotParl

What is odd about the Assisted Dying discussion is the silence around the biggest killer of older people, dementia. Because it is impossible for someone with dementia to give informed consent. But it is also impossible, or very difficult, for them to give consent before their dementia renders them not lucid enough to do so, because the present bill only covers those with no more than six months to live. So at the moment the main issue is not in the conversation.

Lovely moment at the nursing home service. A 90 year old lady from Elgol, Skye, on hearing 'Amazing Grace', sang the whole hymn from memory in Gaelic and with perfect pitch. “I never learned English till I was 9, and I’ve never sung in Gaelic since then until this afternoon.”

Delighted that @Lucy_Worsley created her own museum with @MetaQuestVR @UofGInfoStudies clever & talented staff are a major part of this wonderful project. @UofGlasgow @UofGHumanities
I've created a brand new museum …in the Metaverse! @meta Quest 3 and @UofGlasgow’s ‘Museums in the Metaverse’ project has digitised thousands of artefacts so you can see and handle them from home. It's pretty cool! Visit 'my' museum here👇#ad

Reading the unreadable… 🎼
When faded iron gall ink is imaged under UV radiation, this imaging technique can enhance the readability of otherwise illegible text. Here music dating from the early 1400s is now readable after being imaged under UV-induced visible luminescence.
ALT 2 equally sized images side-by-side. The image on the left is brown with red lines and dark smudges and not apparent what it depicts. The image on the right is luminescent blue, revealing that the image on the left is musical notes. Catalogue reference: E163/22/1/24

In Glasgow on Saturday? Fancy a free book event at 2pm? I'm chairing the glorious @GGallerina who I met quite by chance a year ago (& I'm so glad I did) and we'll be launching her debut novel at the Mitchell Library. It's brilliant ofc. Tix here 👇glasgowlife.org.uk/event/1/r…

Have you heard about the project on Google Arts & Culture Ukraine is Here?
It is a long-term initiative to digitise and share Ukraine’s vibrant cultural history. The project was created in collaboration with Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture and Information Policy.
Today, they presented the next chapter, which allows everyone to discover outstanding Ukrainians plus much more:

Please take a look when you have time and share it with others. Oh my, it is so cool.

Read our staff’s research on increasing accessibility to collections and user-driven research
The paper we wrote with @kist_k on the work we did with @NtlMuseumsScot on access to online collections is just out: User-centred collection metadata: from images as information to facilitating socio-affective connections emerald.com/insight/content/…
Calling all #archives folks… we are thinking of changing the name of the MSc at Glasgow. If you can spare 3 mins, could you fill out this form (and we’re looking at getting a view from everyone, former IMP or not). Thanks!
