ALIA West

November 2004

From the editor

This month we dip into the past in more ways than one. We explore the old pumping station at the Mundaring Weir, take a trip with Roberta Cowan through some of the libraries she visited during her time in Europe in 2003 and catch up with a former Sharr Medal winner, Kim Grace. We also learn of the link between Curtin University and a former United States president. There are a lot of events in the Diary Dates so make sure you check it out. We have another informative piece by Lorraine Bradshaw on employment issues, and a very thoughtful reply to last month's letter to the editor. Christmas is just around the corner, so if you are planning any activities or events, please send your copy in early so it is sure to get into the December issue. I will be trying very hard to get the next issue of Biblia out by the 1st December, so will be sticking to the deadline.

Those of you involved in ALIA groups may find the following information from Sharon Cunningham at National Office useful.

A lot of group events for WA seems to missing from the events database on ALIAnet. Can you let people know in WA for more publicity to complete the form at: http://www.alia.org.au/events/add/.
The event is then listed not only on the WA events pages but in their respective group activities pages as well - all events listed are also cross-check for inclusion in upcoming issues of inCite.
