Just a few things to mention re SLANZA :
Membership is due if you haven’t paid it yet – at least one member per school would
really strengthen the organisation – here is the membership application form (with the new address)
http://www.slanza.org.nz/join.html
Honorary Life Membership has been introduced this year!
Considered to be
SLANZA’s
highest honour, it is conferred on a living member whose contribution
to school librarianship or a closely related field is so outstanding
that it is of lasting importance to the advancement of the whole field
of school library service. It is intended to reflect honour upon
SLANZA as well as upon the individual.
Contact Lisa Salter
lsalter@ruawaicollege.school.nz for a copy of the application form (not yet on the website) and details of the application process, which closes on Thursday 21
st June 2012.

Collected – SLANZA’s online magazineis at this link
http://slanza.org.nz/collected.html
and the focus for this issue is “content curation” – check it out if
you are not familiar with this concept, and there is lots of other good
content too.
As it suggests in the editorial, you could print out
the magazine and put into a clearfile as a resource to browse and share
with staff.
SLANZA Awards
are coming up this year – the website still has the old dates on the
forms so I’ll find them out, but you can have a look at the various
awards and consider who the people are that you would like to have their
contribution recognised – see this link
http://www.slanza.org.nz/awards.html
for an outline about the various awards - for Principals, teachers,
libary staff… and I’ll update this with the closing dates for the
awards asap.
