Don't forget to pencil in the HLA Symosium being held on 2nd and 3rd February on the back of the Online conference in Sydney next year. Planning is underway and more information will be released as it comes to hand. Watch this blog!
In the meantime, the MLA's Hospital Library Section has been pretty rowdy. The dialogue started on the subject of conference programming but quickly moved to include other topics. I recently posted a summary of the discussion to aliaHEALTH but have yet to see any hospital librarians in Australia pick up the thread. The issues raised hold just as much relevance to us: survival, demonstrating value, professionalism...plus the whole conference discussion which included relevant programming, support to attend and use of technology to take the conference to those unable to get there in person.
It's not the most important issue raised but the use of technology really struck of chord. It would be terrific if we could get some individuals to volunteer to blog their conference experiences for the benefit of those who can't make it. If you want to be involved in a project like this, let me know and we'll see if we can't get something happening.
