Part two of Scotland's Library Advocacy Story continues on CILIP Scotland's journey to mobilise and support librarians, information professionals and the communities they serve to best advocate for their vital library services.  We began by introducing the Save Aberdeen Library Campaigners behind the fight to save six libraries and a swimming pool from closure in 2023. Laurie Anne Mackay and Hayden Lorimer began by introducing themselves and how they became involved in the campaign in Aberdeen, so go back and listen to part one if you haven't already!  Another key character in this story is Mike Dailly, Principal Solicitor and Solicitor Advocate at Glasgow's Govan Law Centre. In the previous episode, Mike shared his love of libraries and why he feels it's important that legal protections come into play to support libraries to thrive as crucial community infrastructure. He began to tell us how he became involved with the Save Aberdeen Libraries Campaign, and clearly outlines the legal framework that can support communities and campaigners in their efforts.  With many thanks to Hayden, Laurie and Mike, as well as those involved in the Save Aberdeen Libraries Campaign and Govan Law Centre.  Don't forget to subscribe!

In 2024 alone, Scotland's public libraries have been considered low hanging fruit for cuts and closures in too many local authority budgets. It has become essential that librarians and communities are empowered and given a solid foundation to advocate for their vital and vibrant library services. In part one of Scotland's Library Advocacy Story, the CILIP Scotland team outlined the funding landscape for Scotland's public libraries, deepening understanding of how the current funding model is proving increasingly insufficient to deliver all that libraries and their communities deserve. Taking the incredibly powerful Save Aberdeen Libraries Campaign as a case study for how community groups can be mobilised to research, advocate and champion libraries when faced with closures, we interviewed Hayden Lorimer and Laurie Anne Mackay from the campaign group. What resulted was an incredibly thorough overview of each step, including their reflections and recommendations for future campaigners. We also spoke to Mike Dailly, Principal Solicitor and Solicitor Advocate at Glasgow's Govan Law Centre. Mike has a long history of social justice work and assisted campaigners in this case to levy legal battles against Aberdeen City Council. As a library lover himself, Mike was keen to add his voice to this project and outline the legal frameworks at play, and what communities can do to support community spaces.  There was so much to uncover and hear from our three contributors that we had to split this podcast into two parts!

The latest GTA 6 news update covers a lot of topics. The biggest aspect is the new info regarding the GTA 6 release date.

We have not covered GTA 6 leaks on this channel before but we felt this was big enough to dive into. Grand Theft Auto is a series of action-adventure games created by David Jones and Mike Dailly.

Nate, Sebastian, David, and Jordan gather to discuss LEMMINGS, the 1991 puzzle/herding game from DMA Designs. Hear Nate's frustration at trying to play the game with a controller rather than a mouse, David's defense of actual lemmings (the animals), and Sebastian's theory that the Lemmings are Fraggles who have joined a cult. Also, we ponder what "Lemmings: Tactics" might look like.   SHOW NOTES: Here’s a history of Lemmings in Mike Dailly’s own words: https://web.archive.org/web/20150627001229/http://www.javalemmings.com/DMA/Lem_1.htm Apple’s 1985 “Lemmings” Ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_9lT7gr8u4

This week's IBD podcast features James Cox and Mike Dailly, general manager and head of development respectively at YoYo Games, curators of the GamerMaker Studio toolset. That makes this episode of the podcast a bit different to the norm, because while we usually speak to the people behind the games, this week we're speaking to the people behind the people behind the games. The first iteration of Gamer Maker, called Animo, was released by Mark Overmars in 1999. Since then it's gone through dozens of iterations on its way to Game Maker 8.1, before becoming the multiplatform-supporting GameMaker: Studio in 2012 and now, as of March 2017, GameMaker Studio 2. Many, many games that you'll have heard of and probably played have been created using this software, and so we sat down with James and Mike to talk about helping developers create many a memorable title, the democratisation of tools, learning on the job, combating hackers and piracy and much more.   Brought to you by the writers and creators of Independent By Design: Art & Stories of Indie Game Creation, the Indie By Design Podcast (IBD) is the show that goes behind the scenes to explore the world of game design and game designers.
