The Australian Committee on Cataloguing (ACOC) site is the best link for information on Resource Description and Access http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/rda.html. ACOC provides a variety of resources with links to additional material, including information re subscribing to an email list for discussion of RDA as it relates to Australian libraries, including implementation and training matters.
The State Library of Tasmania will provide information for TALIS schools and lists such as aliaISLAND and taslib-link will provide information as it becomes available.

Excel How to Make a Graph

The Excel notes are for 2003 and were written some time ago but I think they are still useful – we haven’t updated these because of the online availability of self-help videos etc. 
I think Ashton Scholastic or some similar publisher are offering the 2003 (alligator books) ExcelWorks book for free – I briefly showed the book on Saturday as I left it in the car on Friday!

-       Communication, collaboration & community:   Web 2.0 @ library information services  –  Karen Bonanno

Karen has been a secondary teacher, teacher librarian, head of department, regional adviser and state education officer in the public education sector.  In 1994 Karen established an independent consultancy service and has continued to work with educational groups, organisations and professional associations.  She is currently contracted as the Executive Officer for the Australian School Library Association and has held this position since 2002. She has published articles, books and book chapters and has presented at local, national and international conferences. 

The hype of Web 2.0 can irritate or inspire.  As information professionals we have a responsibility to discover and explore the opportunities for better delivery of school library services using new and emerging technologies.  The presentation provides an overview of options available and how the technologies are currently being used in the school library environment.

-       School Libraries of the Future – Rick Susman

Notes from a session attendee -

School libraries of the future: Implications of a national curriculum for promoting school library partnerships.
- how to address the impact of a national curriculum on collection development, funding, promoting information literacy, teaching for understanding and academic integrity.
Need for curriculum committees
Need for a research policy – use of multiple media, not all electronic, with involvement of library staff
Design your collections:      
        – work with teachers to audit curriculum needs, know the assignment areas, force cooperation
        – get copies of the curriculum
        – know your publishers and use those that are authoritative and credible
        – understand that freebies usually have a reason
        – get value for $$
Maximise funding opportunities – relocate book hire $$ or bookset $$ and focus on single copies, small sets and cross-curricular titles

-       Dipping A Toe Into Web2.0 – Kate Reid

Upon discovering the joy of teacher-librarianship, Kate spent 6 years in a part-time library position in a K-12 central school in rural NSW. Kate now has a fulltime position as the Stephens Library Teacher Librarian at Hutchins, serving the ELC, Junior and Middle School students and teachers.

Dipping a toe into Web 2.0: a sample set of tools and their possible uses in the school library program.

I really enjoy trying out new activities and tricks with my classes, and the rapid evolution of interactive digital tools is providing wave after wave of cool new toys to play with. I would like to share with you a selection of activities I have used with my classes, the kinds of tools we used, and talk about how effective (or not) each has been.
