BOBCATSSS is an independent European non-governmental and nonprofit association with LIS lecturers,
students and professionals as members. In 2022/2023 I undertook a Postgrad Certificate in Professional
Practice & Leadership and I identified that a key aspect of my role needing additional focus is ‘Engaging with the wider context’. Given this, I applied to BOBCATSSS to engage with the LIS community beyond Ireland. While BOBCATSSS is a European association, participants came from Europe, Africa, Asis and North & South America to explore possibilities and expand boundaries.
