You’ve probably noticed that we’ve decluttered our sidebar a bit. (Thanks Peta).
We’ve added a “From the Thali” section for notes from us to you. For example:

• we’re holding our blogathon now (aiming for one blog post every 30 mins. Missed the event held in July this year).
• the blog will be unavailable this morning due to maintenance.
• we’ve made it to the top 100 000 blogs on technorati !
• congratulations to Corey on his new job as Systems Librarian at the University of Adelaide.

So….what’s the Thali? A few things:

• According to wikipedia, a thali is: an Indian meal with contents varying from one regional cuisine to another. A thali is a selection of different dishes, usually served in small bowls on a round tray. Typical dishes might include rice, dal, vegetables, chapati, papad, curd (yoghurt), small amounts of chutney or pickle,and a sweet dish to top it. A bit like a blog with delectable treats from all around Australian libraryland.
  

• It could stand for “This Helps Australian Libraries Interact”.

• It’s what the mob adminning this have called ourselves. In case you’ve not looked at the about page, we are  CW, Morgan, Fiona, Peta, sirexkat,snail, tango and techxplorer.
