ALIA national library and information technicians' symposium 2015: conference program

National Library and Information Technicians' Symposium 2 - 4 September 2015: Hobart, Tasmania. 
 
Theme: RIGHT HERE – RIGHT NOW: It’s a Devil of a time in libraries.
 
Delivering library services in a technology connected world, providing services to a society with a ‘Want it here – Need it now’ expectation.
 
What are the challenges for the Library Technician in ensuring that their library remains relevant and viable in an age of ever changing technology, expectations and the priorities of their Institutions?
 
Library Technicians have an opportunity to play key roles in maintaining the relevancy of their institutional library, as well as assisting in its growth and evolution in an ever changing world.
 
The symposium will provide an opportunity for library technicians from around Australia to meet together in the formal setting of a structured program, to hear prominent members of the profession, as well as their peers, speak and debate contemporary issues relating to the profession, professionalism and library work in general. In addition, there will be many opportunities for networking including the symposium dinner, opening and closing events and daily breaks as well as the opportunity for networking at the ad hoc gatherings that this event supports and encourages.
