if you are looking for an illustration for a talk, or a backdrop for your computer, or something for marketing, the Te Papa has put together a list of great sites you can get images you can reuse. Including their own great collection, there are ones from the New York Public Library, the National Library, and GLAMs all over the world.
Hi people,
If you are regular user of the Lincoln Library webpage, or have it book marked, please not that it is moving tomorrow to https://ltl.lincoln.ac.nz/.
From Deborah Fitchett:
Tēnā koutou,
As part of a website redesign project, we’ll be moving next Wednesday (17th February) from http://library.lincoln.ac.nz to https://ltl.lincoln.ac.nz to better reflect our identity as Library, Teaching and Learning.
We’ll update our details in the Directory of New Zealand Libraries, and we’ll put redirects in place for our more popular pages. But if you’ve currently got links or bookmarks to anything on library.lincoln.ac.nz then we suggest you check the new site for the new URL going forward. If you have any trouble finding anything, please email us as some contents may have shifted during transit. 🙂
(For the technically minded: it’s WordPress with some plugins for extra functionality.)
Not even sure what on earth data librarianship is?
Well, it’s the Next Big Thing. Handling raw research data, storing it, licensing it and reusing it are big tasks that are being expected of researchers, and we are going to be there to help them.
To prepare for this brave new world, the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) have organised a “23 research data things” program over the rest of the year. An hour a week with a choice of activities, combined with regular get-togethers, and we can all learn the basics together. Handling sensitive data, publishing, licensing, it’s all covered.
If you think you might be interested you can see the site ANDS has put together. If you want to participate, register, and then talk to me and we’ll set up regular get togethers to go over what we have learned.

The wonderful http://nzresearch.org.nz, run by the national library aggregating all NZ repository outputs is having some issues with Canterbury work at the moment, with some links back to the repository not working.
It is scheduled to be fixed, and the UCRR re-indexed next week.
Normally this is an excellent and under utilised resource for postgraduate work in particular.
This is a great resource for people finding out where to publish, and how to find a reliable open access journal to publish in.

I’ve updated (read deleted) a lot of pages relating to theses on the library website. This is because all the information is now held on the thesis libguide, http://canterbury.libguides.com/theses
There shouldn’t be any broken links in the rest of the website, but if you find anything, tell me so I can fix it.
Happy new year!
Anton
I’ve had an article published on the Australasian Open Access Support Group blog describing Article Processing Charges for releasing research outputs as open access.
Its called “Follow the Money, APCs at the University of Canterbury“.
A second article on the APC fund is in the pipeline.

The postgraduate office now handles all of the process for submitting theses. We are decommissioning our library submission form.
All the instructions are on the PG Office website, and we are updating the library site to point at this as well.

All staff are invited to join Aoraki LIANZA members for a drink and a chat after 5pm at Dux Central on Tuesday 15th December.
Come along and relax with your colleagues in a nice venue.
I knew that was too easy. We are having some issues with the repository, and it is currently not working. ITCS are looking at some configuration issues for us.
Please direct any queries to me.
