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 21st June 2012.
Business Memberships
Here is link to the newly established Business Memberships, FYI http://www.slanza.org.nz/businessmembership.html
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.
