    Thanks Lorene, the access to DoE resources by non-DoE staff is a challenge that needs a long-term solution.

    Well done, Lorene, you are quick to take up the new challenge. Could I request that a larger font be used – age is catching me and the one on this page seems very small. Is Isobel’s presentation available, too?

    I have incresed the font size…is this one too big? Also added some colour. I’m working my way thru each presentation. Today’s task was the new award winners document.

    Thanks for doing all this Lorene! The font is much better now and content is very comprehensive. Is there a process where comments can be removed when the issues have been resolved?
    Always thinking, always questions…

    Hi Lorene – you are doing well! I got as far as setting mine up but haven’t concentrated any further than that! Too many ideas, not enough sorting….

    Hi Lorene,
    Congratulations on a good looking blog! I think blogs can be a useful forum for librarians. If we can work out how to set them up! -I’ll probably be contacting you for help…

    Lorene,
    Well done on the Lorene’s Stuff Blog Stuff.
    To the Conference-related sites, you might like to add Tony Flowers’ website. He was ‘in conversation with’ Peter Gouldthorpe at the Conference and has also done the illustrations on the SLT children’s pages and created some banners to hang in junior SLT sections. The URL is: http://www.flowersink.com.au

    Cheers,

    Sharron
