network of members and users up to speed on news and other updates.\u00a0 It\u2019s accessible, flexible, and free!<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We have several websites that are updated regularly, from our <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/\">NewsBlogs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/jobsetc\/\"><em>Jobs etc<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em> services, to our <a href=\"https:\/\/events.ihbc.org.uk\/\">Events Calendar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/callsforpapers.ihbc.org.uk\/\">Calls for Papers<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/awards.ihbc.org.uk\/\">Awards etc<\/a>.\u00a0 These are all essential resources for members, and invaluable for knowing what\u2019s happening across our wider network.\u00a0 And as anyone can ask for their content to be posted, and for free, it\u2019s all as accessible as we can make it!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But given the volume of news we offer, email alerts would be unwieldy, so <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IHBCtweet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@IHBCtweet<\/a> lets users see new information as \u2018snippet\u2019 updates.\u00a0 If interested, clicking the links to the originals will give the detail \u2013 just like our NewsBlog email alerts, but with lots more breadth.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For example, our <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IHBCtweet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@IHBCtweet<\/a> is the best place to stay informed of the latest information around the IHBC Annual Schools.\u00a0 Just search in Twitter for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IHBCNottingham2019?src=hashtag_click\">#IHBCNottingham2019<\/a> to see a feed from this year\u2019s Annual School, or <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IHBCBrighton2020?src=hashtag_click\">#IHBCBrighton2020<\/a> for next year, though it\u2019s still early days there!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And if you haven\u2019t already tried this service, do join and follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IHBCtweet\">@IHBCtweet<\/a> to stay tuned to our alerts.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>See\u00a0\u00a0<a style=\"color:
