Chat Archives

• This is a list of all our chats, with links to summaries and/or tweet archives where available.
• In May 2015 we began Storifying our Twitter chats, rather than writing up a comprehensive summary of each chat (which was very time-consuming for our volunteers). Storify shut down in May 2018 so chat archives moved to Wakelet from then on.
• Here is a spreadsheet of #uklibchat tagged tweets: #uklibchat archive
