Dear Colleagues

To inspire the conversation at Conference:  

 

Look at what RMIT (Australia) is planning for their Library Orientation

The Library Amazing Race Zombie Edition

 

Here’s a link to the Libguide

What do you have planned for next year?  And what have you done in the past?  

Please consider doing a poster to share this with colleagues.   

 

Regards

Dear Colleagues

What does your library do for orientation for the first years?  Have you started to think about the new academic year in 2014?  There are some ideas in this posting
http://theoutreachlibrarian.com/2013/07/31/what-you-do-in-the-first-week-matters

Hopefully this will inspire you to participate in the HELIG AGM programme at the LIASA Conference where we are going to be talking  “library orientation” and sharing ideas around this!    Ned Potter aka  the RealWikiman  http://thewikiman.org/who.htm   who in his day-to-day job is an Academic Liaison Librarian in the Arts and Humanities at the University of York Library, is our special guest for that session.  He will be sharing the experiences at his library.    

Please bring your library’s experiences and projects   -  perhaps sharing this in the form of a poster?   LIASA is still calling for posters with a closing date of 23^rd August 2013 -   so it is not too late.   http://www.liasa.org.za/node/1087

Kind regards
