Martin takes a closer look at some platforms that LIS professionals can use for blogging. #CDGASLWriting2025

Martin provides some useful prompts that might be helpful for those who want to blog, but don’t know what to write. #CDGASLWriting2025

Key advice from Martin. Your everyday is someone else’s mystery. Take something that seems ordinary to you and write about it! You’ll never know who might find it interesting. #CDGASLWriting2025

The blog doesn’t have to be the end of the story. Maybe you’ll consider developing your idea into a conference paper, a journal article or a case study. Start small and let your writing grow! #CDGASLWriting2025

Some final thoughts from Martin: you DO have something to say, your writing will help others and don’t be afraid to start now!! #CDGASLWriting2025

Our second speaker this evening is Marta Bustillo. Marta is Digital Learning Librarian at the UCD Library. We are looking forward to hearing her amazing advise on writing! #CDGASLWriting2025

And that’s it from Martin this evening. Don’t forget to send your blogs to Libfocus and huge thanks to Martin for speaking tonight! #CDGASLWriting2025

Great advice from Marta to start out. Things to consider for grant writing. You have many moving components that you have to keep track of. #CDGASLWriting2025

Did you forget to read something? 🤔 Marta makes a very good point that sometimes there's a part of the instructions in a grant instructions that you might have missed. #CDGASLWriting2025

Don't work at grants backwards. Create a project - then find a funding call. Align with the theme and don't be afraid to reach out to the people behind the funding call to ask if your project fits. #CDGASLWriting2025

Titles Matter - is your title good for more than just the proposal? Does it fit websites, posters, and so on? Marta shares tips. #CDGASLWriting2025

Marta's final wrap up. Walk away with these overall ideas. Your enthusiasm matters. #CDGASLWriting2025

Thank you, Marta! Now we're onto the questions. #CDGASLWriting2025

A very interesting question: do you need to be a certain level/grade to apply for funding? Marta says no - if you don’t ask you won’t receive! #CDGASLWriting2025

Good point to add from the Q&A from Martin - include your blogging experience in the LIS profession in your CV and/or cover letter when applying to a new job! #CDGASLWriting2025

Thank you to both Martin and Marta for speaking with us all today. You were both amazing and shared wonderful advice. Until next time! #CDGASLWriting2025
