[Hum-DIS] Library Fight Club. Thurs 17 Dec 6pm Rosie O'Grady's Northbridge, RSVP

[Kathryn Greenhill]

Hi,

The first ever Library Fight Club meeting is this Thursday 17 December 6pm upstairs at Rosie O'Grady's, Northbridge.

Come, buy a drink, take umbrage with or offer unconditional support to the statement :

                "WE ARE DONE BEING LIBRARIANS. NOBODY SHOULD HAVE "LIBRARIAN" IN THEIR JOB TITLE !"

Please RSVP today to Petra Dumbell at petra.dumbell at postgrad.curtin.edu.au<mailto:petra.dumbell at postgrad.curtin.edu.au>.

We know the timing is tricky, so if you can't make Thursday, but are interested in future Library Fight Clubs, or have a suggestion for a future topic, please let us know..

More information below...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

*What?s this?*

A meeting of library people to discuss hot topics, learn from the
discussion and put new ideas and concepts to the test. We will find all
the arguments and counter-arguments around a topic and voice opinions
that might be unpopular but will force us to analyse and rethink current
practises.

Everyone who wants a say can have one, and we hope that everyone who
attends will have a go at giving some kind of opinion ? whether sensible
or outlandish, whether you agree with it or not. Sometimes arguing
against what you believe clarifies why you actually believe it. Or you
could even find you change your mind.

Library people (as everyone else) can get stuck in an echo chamber of
the same inoffensive conversations, and Library Fight Club will stop all
the niceties and get discussions going.

Everybody welcome, bring your non-library friends!!


Of course, we don't talk about Library Fight Club, but we may tweet/blog
it if anyone non-local is interested. Let us know.

*When is it on?*

The first meeting is on the 17th  of December, at 6pm at the upstairs
room of Rosie O'Grady's in Northbridge. RSVP to
petra.dumbell at postgrad.curtin.edu.au<mailto:petra.dumbell at postgrad.curtin.edu.au> by the 14th of December.

This is a _free _event, but we are expected to buy a few drinks from the
bar downstairs.

*What will we fight about at the first meeting?*

"We are done being librarians: nobody should have "librarian" in their
job title?"

*We hope to see you there:*

The inaugural fight club members: Kathryn Greenhill, Lydia Dawe,
Matthias Liffers, Megan Fitzgibbons, Yusuke Fitzgibbons, Petra Dumbell
