CONTENT MACHINE<\/h4>\n

I am creating content, content, content for my work at the moment, so I am afraid I am not talking as much here. Technology for information management, and the history of libraries and what managers do in a public library are all ajumble in my head this week and being spat out into lecture notes and live lectures and screencasts and workshops.<\/p>\n

Yes – I am enjoying my job. Discussion in the second hour of a workshop yesterday was everything one hopes university can offer to students (and tutors). Times like this make it worthwhile.<\/p>\n

JUMPING FISH<\/h4>\n

And I had an amazing sunset snorkle at Cottesloe Beach that night – with silhouettes of fish jumping over orange tinged water while the moon rose over the shore. I could put my head under the water and swim through metres and metres of tiny fish then look up and see them jumping above the water.<\/p>\n

CONFERENCES<\/h4>\n

PLWA<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am looking forward to co-presenting (and hanging out with) John Blyberg<\/a> and Cindi Trainor <\/a>at the Public Libraries Western Australia Biennial conference<\/a> on April 1 in Fremantle. They are both American Library Journal Movers and Shakers and have damn fine library brains. Registrations close tomorrow. I have attended the last two conferences and\u00a0 although I was looking forward to seeing some of the speakers that I knew, I found that there were several “dark horse” speakers who I learned a lot from. Maybe I just chose sessions well, but it is one of the *very* few conferences where every session was enlightening and interesting.<\/p>\n

We are doing an “interactive session” about the Darien Statements<\/a> and why it is useful to think about what the core of librarianship is for you. What do we mean by “interactive session”? – we will all find out together on the day…

NEW LIBRARIANS’ SYMPOSIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am taking it as a sign of faith in my ability to make people want to get out of bed that I am keynoting this conference in Perth<\/a> on the last day. On a Sunday. First thing in the morning. The morning after the conference dinner.\u00a0 18 September 2011. The excellent Kate Davis<\/a> and Mal Booth<\/a> will be speaking in the days before me – and David Lee King<\/a> in the afternoon. All these things make me really, really, really eager to do a great job.<\/p>\n

The title of my talk will be “The Hidden Rulebook: building bridges instead of hitting brick walls”.<\/p>\n

NATIONAL LIBRARY CAMP
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This event<\/a> is Monday after New Librarians’ Symposium, 19 September 2011. Many people at NLS will be staying for this. It will be exciting and fun and we will all laugh and learn. I can promise that much. Much more? I do not know. Registrations open soon.<\/p>\n
