Next Tuesday 11 August at 5:30pm,\u00a0 a mob of\u00a0 librarians are going to sit around for an hour and watch a video of Stephen Abram<\/a> talking about “transformational librarianship” . Then everyone is going to talk about it. Then five of us from different library sectors will be on a panel talking about challenges of the future.<\/p>\n

The event is a co-production of the Special Libraries Association, the State Library of Western Australia and the Australian Library and Information Association.<\/p>\n

It will be a bit, but not quite, like this picture taken at Annalakshmi in Perth back in September 2007.<\/p>\n
