LIMITED STUDENT VOLUNTEER EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
We are pleased to extend an invitation to you to participate as a volunteer at the ALIA National Library and Information Technicians' Symposium to be held in Canberra from Wednesday the 30th of October to Friday the 1st of November, 2013. The 2013 ALIA National Library & Information Technicians’ Symposium has been coordinated by a team from the A.C.T., with the support of the ALIA ACTive group and the ALIA National Libtech Group.
The 2013 event has the theme 'Waves of Change' and will address the revolution that is taking place within the library sector. Those working within the sector, usually librarians and library technicians are now rapidly evolving to undertake new roles as information professionals. These new roles include mastering a range of technologies and methods of storing, retrieving digital information while currently retaining traditional roles and information sources. The symposium will provide a program that will enrich the ways libraries provide services in the technical age, generate discussion and promote new waves of thinking. It will offer delegates a unique experience to meet industry professionals and address challenges provided by fast moving technologies, environmental limitations and diminishing budgets.
