This seminar, the third in a series organised by Charles Sturt

Library of Australia
<http://www.nla.gov.au/initiatives/meetings/austdigitalculture.html>
and ALIA <http://www.alia.org.au/> , is intended to provide a broad
overview of what the government focus on maximising the potential of
Australia's digital culture means for libraries and information agencies
in strategy and in practice. 

The morning will consider the big picture with two keynote speakers, Mia
Garlick, the Assistant Secretary, Digital Economy, Department of
Broadband, Communications & Digital Economy and Professor Trevor Barr of
Swinburne University, a leading commentator on telecommunications issues
and their impact on users.

The afternoon session will move the emphasis to libraries and the
opportunities that this focus on the digital  world offers. Speakers
include Derek Whitehead, president of ALIA and Director of Information
Resources at Swinburne University and Christine Mackenzie of the Yarra
Plenty Regional Library, recently awarded the fellowship of ALIA.
