CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - Arlis/ANZ President
Posted June 15th, 2009 by Kelly McKeon
The position of ARLIS/ANZ President is currently vacant. This means there is a great opportunity for a member to take up the position until the 2010 ARLIS/ANZ AGM.
It will be feasible for the new president to do most of their work by e-mail, though they would also need to attend the 2010 conference in Canberra; in other words the new president could come from any Australian state/territory or New Zealand.
The president's tasks include preparing the agenda for, and chairing, AGMs (which in non-conference years can be electronic), calling for nominations for any vacant committee positions, and providing advice, and occasional gentle nagging, to committee members. The president also usually has a role at the biennial conference e.g. a welcoming address.
Presidency of ARLIS/ANZ is a great way to extend your professional networks. It looks great on your CV. I can thorougly recommend it as a rewarding and not too arduous role.
Self-nominations are welcome. Please send nominations to me at lgroom@nla.gov.au by Friday 26th June.

Our conference has been blogged!!
Posted October 11th, 2008 by Ellen Thompson
Check out the blogs of Kathryn Greenhill and Axel Bruns, and read about what they thought of being part of our conference.
WOW - What a conference!!!
Posted October 11th, 2008 by Ellen Thompson
Ok - so if you weren't there, you must have been square, 'cos we had the best time!!!
The programme delivered everything we'd hoped, with a varied and interesting mix of presentations and still left plenty of time to network with collegaues we'd not seen for ages, stretch our legs with walks around the cultural precinct of Brisbane's South Bank, and also check out the amazing spaces of the State Library of Queensland and the Gallery of Modern Art.
Now it would be just fantastic if everyone who was at the conference blogged about it on the Arlis site!
Tell us about your favourite presentations, your reflections on what you saw, the great ideas you'r taking back to your own places, the old friends you reconnected with, the new friends you made, and even what you think we could do better for next time. Then all the members who weren't able to be with us in Brisbane will still be able to share in the experience of the conference.

See you in Brisbane on the 9th!
