Last March I ran a series of training events for #BritishLibrary staff on digital sustainability - with so many incredible contributions from across the GLAM sector. Here's a blog post about this programme, with the results of feedback surveys and some future action: https://blogs.bl.uk/digital-scholarship/2025/05/discover-digital-sustainability.html

Two new publications from the #DHCC just came out to help DH practitioners and researchers more widely make their research projects more environmentally sustainable! One is a guidance the other is a self-assessment tool:

I'm going to be speaking at the Environmental Impact of Digital event: 25 November, 11am-3pm, organised by the Centre for Digital Scholarship (CDS) at the Bodleian Libraries. It's fully booked onsite but is now available to register online: https://lnkd.in/drTQ9q3k
Really looking forward to listening to colleagues working in the digital sustainability space and having some interesting conversations!
