18/5/2023

0 Comments

 
LIANZA Tertiary Libraries (TEL) SIG is pleased to welcome a new co-convenor, Diana McMahon-Reid. Diana replaces Natalie Smith who has taken a new role as Manager for Te Maeatanga (Digitisation Programme) at Te Rua Mahara o te Kawanatanga, Archives New Zealand.

LIANZA TEL SIG committee also farewells Mojgan Sadighi who has moved to Melbourne, and welcomes two new members: Kate Reynolds from the University of Waikato Te Whare Wanganga o Waikato and Hannah Jenkin from Victoria University of Wellington Te Herenga Waka.

The membership continues to grow with an engaged 200+ members! There are active Journal Discussion Groups meeting bi-monthly to discuss articles relevant to tertiary institutions. Each article is connected to a LIANZA Professional Registration Body of Knowledge. More information is available on the LIANZA website.
​
The committee has some fabulous webinars coming up – which you can find in the LIANZA events section.

Special thanks to Natalie Smith
​​LIANZA TEL SIG would like to express their gratitude to Natalie Smith who has been an absolute delight to work with. Her leadership and contribution to TEL SIG brought the community back to life and her energy and dedication have been an inspiration – she will be missed but continues to be an active member of LIANZA.
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time as co-convenor with both Marisa and then Neda and it was a pleasure to be on the committee. I began the role in 2019 and hope I contributed to a bit of a revival for TEL SIG – we had an enthusiastic committee and were able to organise some great events. Highlights included being part of organising committee for “Tātou Tātou: Gather and Grow” Symposium, the 2021 LIANZA Conference and helping with the event planning for webinars.”
