Sorry if you're getting this twice.<br><br>The Perth unconference is a great opportunity for LIS students to meet and interact with librarians in an informal setting. The broader the variety of participants, the better and students can add a lot. I went to my first unconference last year, had a ball and now I'm helping (un)organise it.<br>
<br>I would highly recommend coming along if you can.<br><br>Kind Regards,<br><br>Molly<br>(MIM student)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- <br>

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Once again there is going to be a Library Unconference (Library Camp) in Perth. It will be held at the Grove Library on October 25th 2010 from 9.30 to 4.30.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">What is an unconference you may ask, and how does it differ from other conferences?
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">One of the major differences is that an unconference begins WITHOUT a formal agenda. We have the venue (The Grove Library
<a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://thegrovelibrary.net&usg=AFQjCNGGCXqJws_54eeirr4SXypA9t5Aqg" target="_blank">
http://thegrovelibrary.net</a>), the time (9.30 to 4.30), and will provide lunch - everything else that happens on the day will be decided upon the day by those that attend.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We will begin with a short introduction and then everyone will be decide together what should be on the agenda.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">What you can do NOW is:
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1) Hold the day free - check with your supervisor and then put it in your diary. This year it is going to be on a Monday to facilitate all those that couldn't come on the weekend. This means
that not everyone will be able to come, as it is a working day and desks will need to be covered. Check with your supervisor now – the first to ask are most likely to be the ones that get permission.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">2)Think about what it is you would like to talk about, or to hear about, on the day.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">3)If you are willing to help organise please go to the wiki page (<a href="http://www.librarycampperth.com" target="_blank">http://www.librarycampperth.com</a>)</span><span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">and get in contact - remember if you are helping to organise then you HAVE to be there - could add weight when you request permission from your supervisor to spend the day at the
Library Camp </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Thanks to our generous sponsors this unconference will be FREE. There is no cost to participants except in time, energy, communication, expertise and engagement.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">People know things you don't know about the library world - come and learn.
<br>
You know things other people don't know about the library world - come and teach.
