Could we consider a joint user survey and maybe build on some gamification or friendly competition to encourage completion rates across both institutions?

Could we build connections between a relatively new Library Research Interest Group here at McMaster with a similar community at Liverpool if it exists? Or somehow use the LRIG to facilitate research collaborations and/or skill building as researchers across both institutions?

The potential role of AI in special collections work raises levels of both interest and concern that might be interesting to explore

How are our institutions considering and acting on diversity in our heritage collections? How does this impact our digital collections and scholarship that they support?

I think it would be very favourable if we cemented our University's ' friendship' with a delegation of BIPOC students who can study Library Sciences at UofL. The scholarship of MLIS is very homogenous and a program specifically dedicated to rich diversity through membership may prove a fruitful exchange for both schools. To be clear, both schools could host. :)

We have a strategic initiative that is exploring the business case for building a shared repository of teaching and learning materials across the Libraries. If a repository moves ahead, could this be opened up to Liverpool?

Onboarding as it relates to EDIA. We have noticed an interest in our managers looking to have supports as it relates to leading departments where employees may be neurodivergent or where there is a focus on EDIA related aspects and how to remove barriers.

What are the areas of common interest between us?

Are there things we can learn from one another?

Are there any key differences?

Any potential areas to work together?

Dream ticket: if we could change the world around this topic, what would it be?
