Due to popular demand, the ALIA NewGrads Group in Victoria is hosting a
panel event of speakers who have moved between different sectors in the
library industry. The four panellists are:
* Cheryl Walker, from Melbourne Grammar School – Wadhurst Library, after a
long time in public libraries Cheryl is now the Librarian at MGS Junior campus.
* Doreen Sullivan, currently working as a cataloguer for DA Services, after
14 years as a public librarian Doreen has spent the last 2½ years in
various contract positions working in both government department and health
libraries.
* Lisa Donnelly, from LaTrobe University, started at the Law Institute,
moved into health, and is now working at a university library.
* And finally, Aaron Tunn, from the Peter MacCallum Central Cancer Library,
has probably tried every possible job in libraries (approximately 25!)
doing contract work, including a vendor stint with Ebsco.
These speakers combined will produce a wealth of knowledge for people
wanting to cross over sectors. We invite you not only to attend this event
but also submit any questions that you may have to present to the panel so
the night can be as resourceful as possible.
Craig Anderson and the RMIT Library have again kindly supplied the Swanston
Seminar Room.

Thanks for this Jenelle. Who’s going along? Is anyone going to blog the event so we can all share?

Hey CW,
As one of the coordinators of the Vic NGG I’ll be there (seeing as I organised it!) I may try and modify our report and turn it into a blog post. Probably some time next week, I’ll let you know. Also the report will be posted on the ALIA NGG webpage and we are very hopeful we’ll be able to podcast the event. *fingers crossed*
Cheers,
Michelle.

Will keep a lookout for this as a blog post – 8 years ago I moved from public libraries (after 12 years) to an academic library, so would like to know about other people’s experiences.
