<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Hi All,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I am on a group of new and
newish Perth librarians who are putting together an Expression of Interest
to host the New Librarians' Symposium in Perth in 2011. One of the
requirements of the Expression of Interest is to provide a conference
theme...and that's where you come in! We would love to hear suggestions
for the theme, especially if you actually are a "new
librarian"! The 2008 conference had the theme "Breaking
Barriers", which allowed people to present papers about breaking barriers
to employment, breaking barriers to new technologies, breaking barriers around
stereotypes and much, much more. We want people to be able fit a myriad
of topics within our theme so please think big and make sure your theme will
give potential presenters plenty of scope.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Also as part of our
expression of interest we need to name a conference committee, and we would
love for your name to be on that list! If you would like the opportunity
to expand your professional networks as well as your skill base we want to hear
from you. Please tell us your name, and briefly what you think you would
bring to the group (could be personal or professional skills and abilities) and
what you would like to gain from the experience of being on a conference
committee. Inexperience is not a barrier, and we would particularly like
to hear from those in their first three years of employment in the library
sector as well as those still completing their qualification.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>To nominate a theme for the
conference or to nominate yourself for the committee, please respond to me by
email before COB on Friday, 6 November 2009. If you need any further
information please contact me (details below). Don't forget to check out
the conferences page of ALIA's website to see what previous New Librarians'
Symposiums have been all about (<a href="http://www.alia.org.au/conferences/">http://www.alia.org.au/conferences/</a>).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Hope to hear from you soon!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
