Health Libraries Inc: Inaugural Life Membership Award

On Friday night I headed to Melbourne for the presentation of the HLI: Inaugural Life Membership Award. It was at the Charsfield Hotel on St Kilda Road. Very posh!! Well - definitely not the sort of place I frequent!! Andrew Rooke from Monash Medical Centre was the recipient and a long citation followed. What a worthy winner. He has done some amazing things over his library career working both in the USA and Africa and in Victorian medical libraries. not to mention all his work with various professional library associations over the years. The meal was very scrumptious and the conversations interesting. A very enjoyable night and a great chance to catch up with those Melbournites!!
