Welcome to 2011!Happy New Year! The LIANZA office is back up and open for business in 2011. We hope you all had a marvelous holiday period! Conference Papers, Presentations And VideosAs noted in the previous Library Life, all 2010 Conference materials are available for review and download From the Editor...Of all things to choose to write about for my first editorial of the year, I'm choosing to go with professional goal planning. 'Ew how absolutely, positively boring!' I hear you say. Yes yes you're right. It is boring. But necessary and in my experience, productive and helpful. Thoughts on a Christmas blogging challengePenny Dugmore, eLearning Librarian from Unitec Library in Auckland evaluates her experience of a blogging challenge. Thoughts on the 2010 ConferenceThe winners of the Crown Records Management Scholarship, Mary Wallis and Elena Harvey, share with us their thoughts and experiences at the LIANZA 2010 conference. Read more from Elena Harvey... From the Ikaroa regionKim Salamonson has been busy posting on LIANZA's website, consistently since the relaunch back in April last year. I'd like to say, yay Kim! Ikaroa's Victoria Fox, of South Taranaki District Libraries, recipient of a 2010 Hydestor Award reports back on her use of the award's financial injection. Read her report here. From Te Upoko o te Ika a Maui regionAs a committee member of Te Upoko, I thought I'd add a topic of interest to the forums. From across the ditchNaomi Doessel has written a piece for us about the New Graduate movement in Australia. As Australia's library and information community is far larger than ours, they have a much wider group of new librarian's being produced every year from their institutions. This is something students and graduates of the Open Polytechnic and Victoria University's CareersFancy a change? Well there's a few jobs in Auckland going at the moment. Want to know a bit more about what a Family History Librarian does?Check out Seonaid Harvey Lewis' blog. As Auckland Libraries' Family History Librarian and a genealogy expert online and off, and a fellow student in information and library studies since 2005, I thought I'd give her some well deserved limelight.
The Auckland Libraries Super Tour 2011A member of the public, and a self-described bookworm has taken it upon herself to spend 2011 visiting each of the 55 libraries in Auckland's super city and would you believe our luck, document her experience! I couldn't be happier as this is something we all want to hear about. Have a read of her first stop, at Albany Village Library. Reminder for MentorsThere's got to be more than one library and information mentor in the country! We have set up an online community for LIANZA mentor's. This group is solely for mentors so if you are a mentor click here. If you are interested in becoming a LIANZA mentor please visit the mentoring scheme page. |
