In Montana at least, according to this LIS News snippet.

Recent papers from conference are available via the LIANZA online library Not sure how useful the LIANZA search system is unless you’re after a known item though.

For some local flavour there are a couple of Canterbury contributions that I’m aware of:

‘Biblioblogging: blogs for library communication‘ by Alison and Janette and ‘Picked from the Library Catalogue – Dynamic Bibliographies on the Web‘ by Catherine.

No doubt there’s other interesting stuff there as well.

If anyone wants to view the TV3 news item related to image & Paula Ryan it can be seen here As a bonus there’s a glimpse of at least one UC Library staff member to be had in the segment.

Just a reminder re expressions of interest in the ScreenRights project close on Wednesday 26th September. There appeared to be a fair amount of interest in this area at the recent Info Librarians colloquium so please visit the Project page and check out the Expression of Interest form.
The more nominations the merrier!
