This week we ran our #LibInspo competition.
Five students, from across all three faculties, pitching ideas to improve the student experience in the library.

And it was BRILLIANT.

The Living Room, the Sensory Rooms, the Family Study Room - all student pitches from previous LibInspo years.
Interestingly, students want support from their peers but were NOT keen to have friends in the room for their pitches!
Our host was @gbrannanarchive.bsky.social: the man, the myth, the legend.
This was a proposal for an app that would pair people for body doubling, the method of having another person in the space with you while you try to accomplish a task - in this case, obviously, studying.
Jocelyn also offered 3 possible tiers of complexity / reward for the concept!
Each presentation lasted a max of 7 mins, then 3 mins of Judge's questions.
Our Head Judge was our own Kirsty Lingstadt: Director of Library, Learning, Archives and Wellbeing.
Her pitch was for Quacking Good Reads, a student-led recommended reads display - Long Boi themed, naturally!
Another brilliant talk, and impressively well researched with relevant statistics too.
