4.New Business

4.1 (4.4 on Agenda) Unconference

Liz has received emails from several people asking if ALIA West can be involved. The committee agreed ALIA West should be involved.

Carolyn pointed out the nature of this event suggests it should be participant-driven, rather than ALIA-driven. There are different formats for such an event, from completely unstructured to a structured program.

When to hold? Melbourne Unconference is Friday March 2, 2007. This date would tie in well with the LocLib conference. Jessamyn West will be in Perth for the LocLib conference, organizers have told ALIA West it would be ok to have her speak at an ALIA West function also.

Liz pointed out this is Week 1 of semester and very busy for academic librarians - would be difficult for them to attend at that time.

Would people attend on a Saturday? General consensus was no. Thursday evening there is a LocLib dinner.

Linda mentioned another speaker coming to Australia later in the year - Stephen Abram. Could possibly tie this speaker with an Unconference?

The meeting agreed to take this back to the members to gauge the level of interest. Liz will ask for expressions of interest from members through WAIN, ALIA West email list and at the End of Year function.

Action: Liz

4.2 (4.5 on Agenda) Chair of CILIP

Chair of CILIP is visiting Australia for Information Online in Feb 2007 and offered to come to Perth to speak to ALIA members about CILIP governance issues.

Meeting agreed this is unlikely to be of interest to the majority of members. Liz will politely decline.

Action: Liz

4.3 (4.1 on Agenda) 2007 Annual Group Activity and Forecast

Liz and Marg developed this based on last year's submission. Liz will forward this to the committee.

Action: Liz

4.4 (4.2 on Agenda) 2006 Annual Report
