ALIA Board Blog

I was lucky enough to be in Brisbane last week for Gillian Hallam’s ALIA Fellowship presentation.
It was so fantastic to be able to see Gill presented with the fellowship - and great to be able to hear her acceptance speech detailing the travels of her career.

At the end of a Web 2.0 symposium it was also fitting to see ALIA President Roxanne Missingham’s YouTube posted congratulations on the Fellowship - view online here.

For those ALIA members not familiar with Fellowships, the Board of Directors may confer the distinction of Fellow on a member who, in the opinion of the Board, has reached an exceptionally high standard of proficiency in library and information science and has made a distinguished contribution to the theory or practice of library and information science. Nominations may be made at any time and the award is peer nominated.

For further details on Fellowship nominations see the ALIA website.
