  • Taking Root: Scotland's Green Libraries Part Two

    Taking Root: Scotland's Green Libraries Part Two
    Oct 7 2024
    Episode two of Taking Root: Scotland’s Green Libraries kicks off with the CILIPS Team walking the walk of environmental action, showcasing all of the different projects that we’ve played a part in supporting across the last few years. There is an accompanying Environmental Jargon sheet for this series, which you can click here to download. Helping community climate action and understanding to grow, libraries across all parts of the sector- and country!- have carried out some incredibly innovative and important work. We start with contributions from our Green Libraries Scotland grant fund holders from 2024, and hear all about the CILIPS Research fund project Carbon Literacy for Libraries shareable course from the National Library of Scotland. And more! We end the episode with a discussion about the future of libraries, what we know can grow in the future and what is at stake if we don’t receive proper and sustained funding. It is a true call to action to politicians and decision makers to advocate and protect libraries, as climate action is just one of many exceptionally important strands which libraries water into their communities to help them grow.

With special thanks to Julie Corcoran & Imogen Furlong from High Life Highland, Gillian Hunt from North Lanarkshire Libraries, Laragh Quinney & Julie Bon from the National Library of Scotland, Christina Riley from the Nature Library and Annika Norrvik from Glasgow Women's Library for playing a part in this story!

  • Taking Root: Scotland's Green Libraries Part One

    Taking Root: Scotland's Green Libraries Part One
    Oct 7 2024
    Sustainability and climate action has been taking root across libraries in Scotland for many years now and we wanted to dig a little deeper, surveying the work and projects taking place across the sector. Libraries are playing an essential role in tackling the climate crisis, and as you’ll learn in this podcast, are the inaugural recyclers. There is an accompanying Environmental Jargon sheet for this series, which you can click here to download. In this first episode, we’ll explore the beginnings of the connection between libraries and climate action, including where Green Libraries Scotland started. Including sharing an encounter with a fellow LIS Professional Ian Littleworth from New Zealand, highlighting the Te Tōtara capability framework. After this, we invite two very special guests to the podcast studio, Annika Norrvik, Facilities Manager and part of the Green Cluster at Glasgow Women’s Library, and Artist, Photographer and founder of The Nature Library Christina Riley. In this conversation we speak about eco-feminism, climate imposter syndrome, and how important libraries are in the dissemination and cultivation of evidence based conversations around the climate crisis. What environmental considerations they’ve had to take into account with their individual libraries, and how libraries foster connections with the natural world. There is so much of this work to highlight, that fitting it into one episode proved impossible, so please listen to part two of Taking Root: Scotland’s Green Libraries!

  • CILIP Scotland Podcast Episode 6: Libraries Change Lives & NES Knowledge Services- The Knowledge Network redesign

    CILIP Scotland Podcast Episode 6: Libraries Change Lives & NES Knowledge Services- The Knowledge Network redesign
    Aug 21 2024

    The newest episode of the CILIP Scotland Podcast brings you a reflective episode, as we explore what libraries mean to us as a complement to CILIP’s Libraries Change Lives Week, hear about NHS for Scotland’s Knowledge Network Redesign, and take a closer look at what changes might take place for library services given the change in government post-election.


    CILIP Scotland Director Sean McNamara talks the audience through the new political landscape which library and information services are faced with, explaining the practical implications and what changes we might expect in the coming years. Following this, your hosts Kirsten, Sean and Leah reflect on how the role of libraries in their lives have personally and professionally changed them. We welcome special guests in the form of our CILIP colleagues Chief Development Officer Jo Cornish, and Chief Executive Officer Louis Coiffait-Gunn, to share how libraries have supported them in their journey to where they are now, leading the UK’s library sector body.

    In a similarly reflective tone, we also welcome Donna Watson, Knowledge Manager for Knowledge Services at NHS Education for Scotland. Donna shares the experience of her team in redesigning The Knowledge Network website. Explaining what user testing looked like, what the reception of the new website has been, and what tips the team would share for anyone else taking on a similar project.

    With special thanks to our special contributors, Donna Watson & the team at NES Knowledge Services, Jo Cornish and Louis Coiffait-Gunn!
