NLS4 (rescued blogging the conf...post)
I thought I had lost the post below when the computer cut out on me at the symposium. I thought I would post as it was and do a longer one when I get time: so here was my first abortive attempt to 'Blog a conf..'
(...going away now to do the many things booked this week!)
New lIBRARIANS sYMPOSIUM 4
Blogging the conference is fraught with difficulty, finding a computer!!
We have broken for afternoon tea and I thought I would share a little in my 15 mins.
Opening address - CEO Vic. State Library
We Need "new energy, new ideas, new questions, new ways to assess the past and imagination..." there was more, but I lost it in the listening...
Janette Wright - CAVAL described her experiences in the Librarian profession, and encouraged all delegates.
Margy Anderson introduced the "dark side" engaging vendors from DA, Raeco and Ebsco.
Michelle McClean, wants us to stay ahead of the Curve...with taking personal responsibility for our careers.
A/Prof Gillian Hallan introduced the e-portfolio (fired up to learn more!!)
Petra Colliingwood - RMIT talk on being "PROACTIVE OPPORTUNIST!"
Jill Benn & Michelle Brennard talked about Mentoring from both sides.
Katie Watson gave us ideas on getting 'Bang for our Membership Buck"
There were many more and I will put more up when I have more time!

Revampin' the blog...its time
Blog news:
I had decided on revamping the blog some time ago, did some art work for the banner and promptly lost it with a computer failue at home.
So here is the new look, slightly different from the one I had intended, but not too bad.
Other news:
NLS4 I am off to the New librarians Symposium 4 in Melbourne this week. I am looking forward to the conference, the program is looking wonderful!
The debate topic will be very hot I think... from
Librarian Idol in his post of Wed. Nov. 26th...
"that all librarians who were trained in the pre-Google Age should be required to requalify for professional accreditation"
Going along feeling like I have a interest in both sides, having retrained from Library technician to Librarian recently, and now working in my first position as an Academic Librarian.
The Conference is being held in the centre of Melbourne and it will give me an opportunity to catch up with other 'new Librarians' and my brother and his family.
It is a social whirl, with dinner at the MCG and a cocktail party. (I have google mapped the places I need to go to :-)
A very interesting week ahead.
All for now, Feral TB-)
