Conference: Monday - Library Technician NAC Meeting

(Kim and I)


So after the tour of the City Library we headed back up to RMIT (who are always so wonderful at giving us rooms) for the ALIA NAC Library Technician Meeting. It was chaired by Damian Lodge who did an excellent job of keeping us on track and focused. It was very different to the Ballarat NAC and more of what I expected. And my conference buddy Kim had shown up by this time so all was good!

Anyway, there was a pretty good turn out with members from QLD, NSW and VIC present (sorry if I forgot anyone else!) It was a good chance to vent some issues and to discuss some possibilities! Also, to look at things from an LT point of view. We were asked of our main concerns and mine was to members in regional, rural or remote centres - in particlular lack of ALIA services.

By the time we finished we wandered back along the city streets, grabbed some dinner and some munchies and checked into our hotel at about 10pm - exhausted! But, ready to enjoy the week!
