LIANZA, the NZ version of the recent ALIA conference, is now in full swing. A big focus on the next generation of library stuff, with a strong whiff of Libraries 2.0. Already there have been interesting talks from international bloggers including Stephen Abram and Michael Stephens. The conference has its own blog, which is not bad for an official blog. Finding hardy souls blogging the conference themselves has proven trickier. I know of one chap, who asks to remain nameless for now, who plans to write up some posts after the conference is over and he’s returned to Queensland. I discovered this morning that a chap from Christchurch, Timothy Greig, is photoblogging the conference. An awesome effort involving a digital camera and his PSP. I’ve been thinking about getting a PSP of my own for gaming, but had never considered the possibility for blogging as well. Timothy has updated regularly and responded to comments, all while in the throes of LIANZA itself. [update: Warren has also blogged LIANZA.]

Thanks for the comments Sean. The conference blog is getting more active now - after the conference! I think that some people had good intentions of blogging and flickring during but the programme was so busy that it was hard to find the time!
There are some great photos here: http://www.lianza.org.nz/events/gallery2/main.php
and the papers will be available very soon from the LIANZA website.
