G’day all! I’m popping in to share some news – I’ll be presenting at the CILIP Conference in July! ….and this is the only work I’m allowed to do on sabbatical. (though just now I’ve found another conference in the UK I’d really, really like to attend but the dates fall...
I wouldn’t normally discuss my life outside of professional things here, but right now I have my cranky pants on. This post is partly inspired by carolbycomputerlight’s cranky pants #blogjune post, which made me feel comfortable enough to reveal my cranky pants episode. Where did this day go? I can’t...
(CC by 2.0 from Flickr – meddygarnet) This afternoon I had a meeting with my fabulous research supervisor. This was a meeting I absolutely had to have to move forward and muster up the ‘ooomph’ I really needed to complete these final steps. #blogjune has suffered the last week as my...
So what does one do after finishing a university semester? Get a wriggle on the next big project, of course! I don’t stop. Well, not completely. 🙂 But I wouldn’t have it any other way and I’m really excited. I’ve just spent a few hours of my Sunday arvo working...

Some background on the research project and details...
What started out as a fragmented idea, fueled by curiosity and encouraged by a certain lecturer, has now evolved into a research project and paper, the presentation to be made at the New Librarians’ Symposium, held in Perth next weekend. Here, with this post, I’m reflecting on the inception of...
One. Massive. Semester. Taking a step back from it all now, this last semester was indeed challenging. I’ve tried new things. I’ve learnt A LOT. Yes, it has been one, giant leap for my LIS career. While only enrolled in one subject (focusing on web content), I also conducted a...
Last Friday I started to review a work project I have been working on the past month (before I was interrupted by work mates (and supervisor) demanding that I stopped work for the day). The library collection I work with is entirely electronic, nearly all documents are in PDF format,...
What an exciting achievement…. Whooooaa! Hooooooo!!! Yippeeee!!! Woot! Woot! I had to do that, and now its over with. Thank you for bearing with me. I’ve never written a conference paper or presented before, so the New Librarians’ Symposium (NLS) this year will be a significant milestone for me as...
