70th Birthday Celebrations


On August 20 2007, ALIA turned 70 - what a fantastic opportunity for a party!! The Victorian New Graduates Group organised a huge event in the Experimedia Centre of the State Library of Victoria. Thank you to the evening's sponsors, EBSCO and SLV. Lots of wine and catching up with colleagues across various sectors, and some fabulous MC-ing by yours truly, made for a terrific night!! Oh and a very yummy birthday cake too!!

The big highlight of the night was the official launch of the NLS4 website - check it out @ http://conferences.alia.org.au/newlibrarian2008/
