Kia ora koutou

Danielle O’Halloran, who has worked in MB since July 2007, is leaving the Library to work with the Pacific Development Team as an Academic Advisor. Danielle’s last day in the Library is Friday 25 June.

Gwen Parsons who currently works Wednesday to Friday inclusive, is taking six month’s leave to write a book based on her PhD thesis. Gwen’s last day with the Library for 2010 is Wednesday, 1 July.

Obviously, both Danielle and Gwen are going to be sorely missed. However, they are both going off to do work they are really motivated by and I have no doubt they will be extremely successful. We will still see Danielle around campus and her new position can only strengthen the connections we already have with the Maori and Pacific Development Centre teams. Obviously we are expecting a gratis copy of any book Gwen produces…

Good luck and best wishes Danielle and Gwen!
