ALIA Top End Symposium - Design Discover Diversify
Event Information
Description
The 8th ALIA Top End Symposium
Design Discover Diversify
We invite our colleagues to join us at our biennial conference to share their stories and delve into what makes Territory libraries unique now and into the future.
- Investigate design thinking, design our career paths, library design, and design tools and apps.
- Discover our clients (their expectations and needs), our collections and services and how we make them accessible; discover new directions in publishing and explore how we link up with our colleagues.
- Think outside the square – diversify, celebrate our diversity and explore what kinds of service models we will be moving to in the future and what our skill sets need to be.
