slanza website
Oct 22 2009, 10:39 PM EDT
I do think we have to be careful that we are not all doing the same thing - ie Nat Lib site and SLANZA. SLANZA website should definitely have links to the wiki - especially when it comes to lists and things; and there should be links to NZEI for employment matters etc....At the moment the 'net is crowded with places all doing the same thing one can waste a lot of time checking them all out (and I imagine writing and moderating such sites). Courses to educate librarians; regional mentors who are prepared to go out and help those needing it; some qualified "relief librarians" so that Principals and school librarians have a few other avenues to go down when they need them (or a person who can be contacted on the subject); a bit of marketing of the profession - reasons to be a school librarian; some real international research (with perhaps some abstracts) I think the ASLA website is good (bit old fashioned look) but the information is a solid starting place.Someone needs to whip the 2007 Wellington off the current SLANZA website - they all retired exhausted at the end of 2007 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Look forward to accessing on the website the post-conference publication of presentations from Turning Heads 2009 as was mentioned in our Conference Handbook - will be great to read notes from the workshops which I didn't get to attend - hope lots of the presenters put something on - thanks

Yes, we don't have time to duplicate our efforts anyway.I love your ideas .... maybe also some advice and quick links for newbies when they don't know where to go next. Do you find this valuable? |

I agree Rosalba. A really useful facility on the redesigned site would be an RSS feed so that we don't have to check back to see what has been added/changed.

Hi everyone. Work is well under way now on the SLANZA website redesign. Stage one of this redesign is to freshen up the existing site, and make sure it provides up-to-date information for members.Your suggestions here have been added to my list of requirements to investigate as we explore different ways of managing the site content, which will be Stage 2 of the redevelopment project. With stage 1, we are reaching the point where having people give the redesigned site a test-run - with a critical eye for what works and what's not working - would be very useful. If you are interested in helping with this phase of the project, please message me on the wiki, or get in touch by email. Thanks! Do you find this valuable? |

"A really useful facility on the redesigned site would be an RSS feed so that we don't have to check back to see what has been added/changed."Hi Clenda, because the existing site is built using static html pages, there isn't an automatic rss/blog-type feed. But you'll be pleased to know I have cludged together (that's a technical term! haha!) an rss feed for the new site, so even tho you're not at a school library this year you'll be able to get the site updates as they happen. Thanks for the suggestion, and if you have any other ideas, please do let me know! M Do you find this valuable? |
