Historian in library land. Like new things telling old stories and old telling new. EO for National & State Libraries Australia. Opinions my own.

On today and guaranteed to be fascinating, even (maybe especially!) if you don't work with rare books.

[NSLA @NSLA]

Join our webinar to learn how #libraries in Australasia can work with @ILABRareBooks to recover lost or stolen items. Don't miss the remarkable story of Charles Darwin’s notebooks, recovered 15 months after a worldwide appeal to find them!

Great panel session including @coffeemiss and @r_esson, held in Wellington a couple of weeks ago.

[NSLA @NSLA]

What have been the experiences of @NSLA libraries to recent crisis events, and what does this tell us about the role of libraries in our communities today? In this panel session hosted at @NLNZ, the heads of three Australian libraries discuss this question https://t.co/XReReJkvoE

[Vicki McDonald @coffeemiss]

Fantastic to catch up with @NSLA colleagues. Thank you to @r_esson for hosting us at @NLNZ - a privilege to first-hand your extraordinary work.

@Littlelesley28 @slqld @NSLA @Littlelesley28 I can't believe you didn't tell me you were a bunya nut shucking champion!! 🤣

[Barbara Lemon @blemondo]

Ahem, do I know any archivists out there who can recommend a good, simple and affordable system for storing info (data & photos) about glazes and objects? A ceramicist friend with a small business needs some advice...

[Barbara Lemon @blemondo]

Tedeschi on Gutenberg. A well crafted piece from a fine mind @NLNZ

[National Library of New Zealand @NLNZ]

On the blog — Gutenberg comes to Wellington and is on show at Mīharo Wonder! Rare Books and Fine Printing curator Anthony Tedeschi talks about the provenance and significance of this monumental object from history. #MīharoWonder #GutenbergBible https://t.co/IZTirkSqsI

[Barbara Lemon @blemondo]

Really like this: @NSLA folk grappling with questions about language in this context might find it handy.

[Ben Rice @benjaminrice_]

This point can't be stressed enough: the reforms announced by Minister @PaulFletcherMP are GOOD for creators! A great example is film makers and artists being able to use orphan works ✅ Let's fix our outdated laws and get more #CopyrightAccess

[NSLA @NSLA]

Please spread the word: we're seeking proposals from Indigenous researchers to analyse a sample of collections in 4 NSLA libraries. https://t.co/9BJcqpCMwI
