Last Tuesday, 28th June, a group of librarians from the QLD chapter enjoyed a tour of the newly refurbished Library at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Kelvin Grove.

A few of our QLD chapter members work here, supporting the Creative Industries Faculty http://www.creativeindustries.qut.edu.au/about/what-are-the-creative-industries/

The refurbished Library has more open spaces (including an outdoor area), display spaces, meeting rooms and a GamesLab. You can read a slightly more detailed description here: http://www.news.qut.edu.au/cgi-bin/WebObjects/News.woa/wa/goNewsPage?newsEventID=35026

Dear all
You may have noticed that the website has recently been updated since the handover of the ARLIS/ANZ executive to the Victorian Chapter earlier this year.

There are further things to do e.g. some members may be getting emails that their fees are due although they have paid already. Please contact the treasurer if this happens.

So far we have:

-updated the details of the ARLIS/ANZ executive

-moved the elist to a new temporary server at Monash University. We are investigating using another elist product, possibly Google, as the Monash list does not allow archiving.

-added another method of paying membership fees - you can contact the secretary to get bank account details if you wish to use internet banking

-added the minutes of the 2010 AGM

-removed some older posts etc from the home page

Watch this space for information and calls for your thoughts about next year's conference.

Cheers
George

Please rsvp to Judy Nolan by Wednesday 25 May.

We produced two stop motion animations to allow the two large format books to be viewed without frequent handling.
These animations were a great addition to the show - they played in the foyer outside Projectspace.

You can view these animations - send us your feedback.
We plan to add these to the catalogue record for the artists' books with a view to documenting a range of books to assist with the request process / and the retrieval process.
