Jennifer Dyer (ALIA NSW Library Technicians Group Convenor.) has asked that this news is passed on to all interested parties.
ALIA has a major project
underway to consult with industry on the
Future
of the profession. Submissions can be made online but they also intend to
run a series of consultations around the country. This seems
a great opportunity to state an opinion on the threats and opportunities facing
libraries and to hear the opinion of others in all sectors of the industry. Western Sydney Institute of TAFE, Library & Information
Services, have offered to host one of the sessions to ensure
that Western Sydney is represented.
ALIA has accepted the offer and the event is scheduled
for:
Tuesday 30 July - 14:00 to 16:30
The venue
is:
Kiranari Room (room
L.1.89)
Building

Parking is free. The College is
about 500 metres from Mt Druitt train station, heading back towards
Sydney.

project and a literature review are available at
We would love to see you there and would appreciate you making
this information known to your staff and to your other contacts within the
industry.
