Way back in October last year I went to the HLI Conference in Melbourne. Again it was wonderful to catch up with people and meet new ones and to learn about what people are doing in other organisations. Here are my notes from the day:
Susie Morton - Epworth - Secrets of an invaluable library
Quote - I think it's only fait to warn you that I am, in fact, a LIBRARIAN!
It is ok to discontinue services
Library user survey - must do!
Provide premium library services to key stakeholders
Align with strategic plan
Libguides as Department homepages
Quote - Librarians - just like regular people, only much smarter!
Susan Monaghan - RMH - Library Training Programs
600 staff per year roughly trained in library resources
Essential computer skills - word, excel, powerpoint $
Endnote $
Library databases - free
Developing content and support material
Increased proficiency or efficiency
Bought new PC's with $
Word "library" in inboxes frequently
Helen Shipperlee - SVH - Mental Health Specialist
Mental health champion
Research committee
Psych email - professional research librarian; highly experienced; post grad; background knowledge; save time; make you look good
Fortnightly mental health update
Goes to Jnl club/book club - is visible!
I got the most out of Helen's talk for the day. There were also other presentations but they included me presenting on our Digital Repository and also the launch of the HLI/HLA ROI Report. This meant I spoke in the afternoon also as I was the Health liaison for the report. So it was a huge but highly enjoyable day.
