Cultural Walkthrough
Two summer scholars working with the ‘A Better Start National Science Challenge’, under the Learning and Teaching Languages Research Lab and the e-Learning Research Hub, went to the Education Library to carry out what we, leaning on the work of Kai-arahi Pasifika Tufulasi Taleni, are calling a cultural walkthrough. We are working with the linguistic landscapes of education, with a focus on early childhood and primary settings in East Christchurch, and we wanted to try the process closer to home to create a model. We are quite pleased with the result and we’d like to share this with you. Come along and find out more! Monday 31 July

Staff Development Session
A forensic foray…what YOU need to know about saving the digital
We all know that so much of our working and personal lives is lived in the digital realm these days. As information professionals, it’s becoming essential for all of us to understand how our traditional principles of librarianship, particularly kaitiakitanga/guardianship, can be applied to digital collections.
In this staff development session, Alison W, Nicole, Erin and Jo will share what they’ve learned from workshops on digital preservation and managing born digital collections (i.e. items that are created as digital files). Much of this thinking applies principles we already know as librarians, but there are also some useful new ways of using technology that we all need to know about. For this session we will cut through the jargon and keep things simple.
Why do you need to know this stuff? Because as a library professional it’s coming whether you like it or not! Plus have you ever thought about what is going to happen to all those digital photos on your phone/tablet/laptop/PC? These principles can also be easily applied to the preservation of your personal digital ‘collections’.
