I've recently re-joined after a hiatus, and was wondering what the ASA position is on this announcement re job losses in ABC Archives, and the idea that reporters and producers should just search for archival materials themselves and be responsible for metadata? Also, when is the next branch meeting? https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/jun/08/abc-to-abolish-58-lib...
Cassie will be telling us about the new SRNSW project, the NSW Digital State Archive. This Digital Archive project is highly relevant to the IAM theme: "Information Overload: Finding the tree in the digital forest". More details in due course.
NSW Branch members: In May 2011 we will hold an event for Information Awareness Month. You can find a Group for IAM elsewhere on ArchivesLive! At this point I am asking you for your ideas about a suitable event to match the theme: "Information Overload: Finding the tree in the digital forest." This sounds like a theme of discernment to me. I welcome your thoughts and ideas!
I have paid but should we add it as an event to the site like the Tasmanians?
