A couple of things have happened over the past couple of months. I presented a session about Web 2.0 and wikis at PD Day for Teacher/Librarians and Library Assistants at Harrington Park Public School on Tuesday 6th May. Then of course there came LIW (Library & Info Week). Had a couple of activities during the week. Attended Mt Druitt TAFE graduation on the Monday to present the ALIA prize. The A/Director said in his speech that you never really leave Mt Druitt TAFE, which is pretty true in my case as I have been going back there regularly since I graduated. The winner of the ALIA Award was Carmen Green. On Tuesday NSW LT Group had their National LT Day activity at a restaurant in Burwood. Although, the numbers were small it was good to catch up with everyone. All being well, there should be a National LT Day roundup article in the July inCite. Yesterday, Victor Davidson and I ran another Leadership for LTs seminar in Sydney. 15 people attended and it shows LTs and library assistants are anxious to take their first steps on the Leadership ladder. I am currently working on Leadership for LTs – part 2. It should be ready for its first outing later in the year.
A really exciting thing happened this week. The NLS 4 program was published on the website. If you have a few minutes have a look at it. You will see the high standard of keynote and session speakers. There will be news about the other speakers in due course. To think NLS’s are for new librarians is wrong. If you have a look at the program you can see there are sessions to suit other than new librarians and library technicians. I went to NLS06 in Sydney in 2006 and had an excellent experience. So if you are a new or not so new librarian or an LT have a look at the program and seriously consider being a delegate. I am sure it will be a rewarding experience.
It’s that time of year again. The COLT and ALA conferences are being held in the US. This time they are being held in Anaheim, Calif. As I did last year I will be setting up a ‘Aus LT Goes to Anaheim’ blog. Hopefully, I will be able to do regular posts. Unfortunately, last time by the time you go to a conference all day and then out for the evening it doesn’t leave much time to write lengthy posts about the day’s activities. If that happens I may have to do what I did last time and save up my writing and posting until I get home.
