ALIES conference comes to an end for another year

The ALIES conference came to a close this afternoon, after a very successful and enjoyable three days.

The final day began with a hypothetical discussion facilitated by Katrina Beard. This proved to be a fun and engaging way to look at issues affecting special libraries. A big thank-you to all of the ALIES librarians who took part in the hypothetical, really getting into character!

This was followed by a presentation by Jane Grace, Yarra Plenty Regional Library, about her involvement in disaster recovery from a library perspective after the Black Saturday Bushfires. Sue McKerracher, ALIA Disaster Recovery Project Officer, talked about the what ALIA is doing in preparing libraries for disasters, and the work of Blue Shield Australia.

A great end to a busy and rewarding conference!

What does resilience mean to ALIES?

An activity during the ALIES conference was to workshop what resilience means to ALIES. This word map is an output of that discussion.

Highlights from Wednesday 30 March

Rosa Serratore, Karen York and Ann Ritchie all gave excellent presentations on how their libraries have attempted and succeeded in making their libraries resilient. We all took away something we can use in our own library situations.

After morning tea, Heather Wood provided insights into how information was collected, collated and captured for the Bushfire CRC, post the Victorian Bushfires on 7 February 2009.

Anne-Marie Troutman delivered a thought provoking paper on personal resilience. In Anne-Marie’s workshop session, we learnt how libraries can develop a framework for dealing with change that builds an agile and resilient team.
