Day 4 of Daily Image 2011

 


4-365

Originally uploaded by thewhaanga

A challenge was sent out recently from Kathryn Greenhill, to take part in Daily Image 2011. I have decided to take part. This is my day 4 image (January 4, 2011).

If you’d like to add your name and images to the mix and see how long you can last, then have a squiz at http://www.flickr.com/groups/dailyimage2011/ read a bit more about it and see if you can find a link to join.

New Years Resolutions

  1. write
  2. read more offline for pleasure

Pretty simple really.

#1 on the list, will help me to do the following:

  • attend NLS5 and ALIAlibtec11 in Perth in September this year as a speaker and delegate
  • improve my vocabulary
  • complete some papers with my chosen institution of learning (an actual institution – OPNZ)
  • improve and grow as editor of LIANZA’s fortnightly publication, Library Life.

#1 on the list will also help me to believe my intuition and what other’s have told me, that I have something to offer in writing for and speaking to others travelling along a similar path in the library and information field.

#2 on the list will help me remain sane.  Other than writing for myself (and by default, the profession), this is definitely what I need to be doing more of, to keep things in perspective.

Will keep you posted on these new years resolutions.

P-Money and Patea Maori Club

Sorry, but I have to embed this video right here right now.  Serendipity on Youtube is a beautiful thing.

LIANZA Centennial Conference 2010

Thought I’d set up something so people that don’t want to navigate Twitter can see what’s happening at Conference over the next three days.  Very interesting stuff happening (an understatement really).
Check it out:

Another option, CoveritLive has also been set up by Paul Hayton, Electronic Services Librarian at Dunedin Public Libraries.
The following are links to coverage of the Conference:

So wish I was there!
By the way – if you are attending, would you like to write a review of a session please? Come onn all you bloggers and writers out there, share with your colleagues in e-Library Life!

Writing for the profession (and by default, me)

I shouldn’t even be writing this. I said I needed to go to bed earlier because I’ve been a bit tired lately, but it’s 10.11pm and I’m just beginning a post on working through the following question:

What topic should I write about with a colleague for ALIAlibtec11 in Perth next year?

Deadline is in 7 days. Eeep!

So. To recap, it is 7 days ’til an abstract is due for a conference that I wish to present at, to my friends and colleagues in my sister city, Perth Western Australia.  I have never written with this colleague before, and this colleague has actually been my lecturer for a number of papers (= Units in Aussie terminology, what is it for everyone else??) at my chosen institution of higher learning.

The conference is this one, ALIA National Library & Information Technicians Conference and you will find the call for abstracts here.

The theme streams are:

  • Professional Development (the individual)
  • Professional Development (the profession)
  • Client Services (the client)

I’m gonna go for option number one.  Mainly because I want to dissect the term “professional”.  I think.

Will update you on this later.

Again, abstract due in 7 days.  Then again my maths isn’t so good, it could be sooner.  How far away is the 1st of December?
