2017 SLANZA Conference update


Your conference committee has been working hard on the planning of the programme, and everyone who submitted an abstract will be notified shortly. We have had some fabulous abstracts submitted and are delighted with the quality of the presentations that will be offered at conference.

The website is looking more interesting now that we have our three keynote speakers confirmed.  Of course the wonderful Rachel van Riel is coming to challenge us into looking at the library with a readers-centred approach, but we also have Hamish Currie and Adele Walsh from Australia who we feel sure will inspire and challenge us too.  Their bio’s are on the website for you to check out.

The conference committee would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and summer break.

2016 School Library reading survey

Just a reminder that you can enter your top books, authors and series here for the 2016 School Library reading survey.
The form is simplified this year, so it shouldn’t take too long.  I have attached some instructions for some of the LMS however they are a couple of years old.  If anyone can update them for me, that would be great.  And if your LMS is not here, and you have time, I would love to have a copy of your instructions to share with others.
I hope to have some results next week, but I need your input this week please!
