A4 My favourite chats to lead were the recent #ebookSOS chat and also one we did in 2020 about the pivot to teaching online. Really felt like it highlighted the ability of the chat to bring together experiences from a range of areas and sectors #uklibchat

By the way here's Q5, I'll leave this to run for the rest of the chat... Always take the opportunity to share bad jokes or memes about books and libraries! No judgement here #uklibchat

I'll leave you to find library memes and jokes, but while you're doing that I'll also send out Q6: What ways do you see in the future for people to share their experiences and knowledge? Are there better platforms for this other than Twitter? #uklibchat

#uklibchat Both those were good, certainly, and the opportunity to exchange experiences and realise that you’re not the only one battling with a problem has been one of the most valuable features of #uklibchat.

And the final question of #uklibchat... Q7 Have you been mulling over an idea for a project that would benefit from a brainstorm session? This group might be able to help!

#uklibchat A6 I think many of us look forward to a return to actually seeing people in person at events too. Some of the most useful tips/warnings aren't written down and it has been so long! #uklibchat

#uklibchat A6 But think Twitter is still a super handy way to involve a wide range of geographically dispersed people #uklibchat

#uklibchat A7 I think all of us do, from time to time. Sometimes you just want to get an idea of what is best practice in a certain aspect of running a library or to gauge opinion on tools and equipment used in libraries. These instances call for brainstorming.

#uklibchat There are certain things that I would still like to see happening such as collaborations between university libraries and public libraries, and something to do with games/tech/libraries.

#uklibchat A7 If anyone has a better way to interact with this style of Twitter chat than refreshing a search of the hashtag with your phone I'd love to know as that always feels clunky! #uklibchat

Unbelievably that's 8.30pm which means it's time to wrap up our last ever #uklibchat. As usual, feel free to continue chatting - it feels like a great mix of nostalgia and new opportunities!

#uklibchat A7 another reason why I love Twitter chats is that fact that geographical boundaries don't exist along with travel restrictions (other than Covid-19) I get to interact with anyone anywhere in the world with regard to common ground.

Yes, fond memories of collaborative chats with #bibchatDE!

#uklibchat Q6 is Discord a thing for librarians? I know at one point there was also a Slack?? But that is already an old thing, or is it? *insert Am I Out of Touch GIF*

#uklibchat Farewell, #uklibchat, and all the best to everyone. I hope things will get better than they’ve been recently but, whatever happens, it’s still a great profession and I’m very glad to have worked in it.

I have to head off now, but feel free to continue chatting and reminiscing! It's been a nice trip down memory lane. Speaking on behalf of myself and the team, it's been such fun getting to chat to so many people over the years. #uklibchat

#uklibchat Thanks for hosting! It was fun to reminisce and remember again all the good times. A farewell to #uklibchat
