Kia ora koutou
In 2018 I was fortunate to receive a Rosalind Patrick award to attend the 38th Annual Course of the International Association of Law Libraries (IALL) in Sydney, Australia.
I was at the course last week and as is tradition (and what I promised in my application) I will give a report back on Tuesday 12th November at 2pm in 210.
I’ll talk about the course, what I learnt, the new connections I made AND show you my multiple selfies in front of the Opera House from land and harbour.

In exciting news (and indicating the eventual demise of our old NZ Gazette CD Archive once the earlier years are complete) NZLII and the PCO have digitised the New Zealand Gazettes from 1946 to 1992!!!

The Gazettes are the newspaper of the NZ Government so have lots of information about legislation, Honours, land and other important Governmentey things…
