ANZIIL

I was lucky to have the opportunity to attend the Australian and New Zealand Institute for Information Literacy 6th Symposium, held in Brisbane. I stayed on the 24th floor of the Oaks, North Quay. The view was good!


I walked each day down to the other end of this river to South Bank Institute.
Mere coincidence that on the Friday morning at dawn there was a hot air balloon over South Bank!!


There were over 80 attendees from Australia and New Zealand, from TAFE and higher education, from school and law and other special libraries. I caught up with old acquaintances like James Duncan from Victoria University, Wellington,New Zealand and Bronte Cerny from the University of South Australia

Helen Reynold from The SouthPort School wowed us all with her enthusiasm for information literacy in an all boys school.She is here with Judith Peacock

Debbie Orr, fresh from the Lifelong Learning Conference with Cecily Martina, who broke her wrist the previous week whilst getting this event organised!


Bev Hodges, from Bay of Plenty was as passionate about her area of New Zealand as she was speaking about information literacy

Time was allowed for plenty of formal and informal networking, this was one of the workshops.

Sheila Webber, from Sheffield and Bill Johnston from Strathclyde, two UK authorities on Information Literacy were keynote speakers.Sheila's blog information-literacy.blogspot.com
is a very useful resource




Brisbane is a great city,some good walks and fine dining.
