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!
