It has been a busy few weeks culminating with me going to this weeks QPLA conference in Townsville. It was great to see colleagues who i have not seen in years from all over Australia and for a nice change I only had a one hour drive to get there yay!
The conference was thought provoking and i came away with many challenges none the least, is the word "librarian' sexy enough to describe what we do? A speaker pointed out that in the next 10-15 years a huge percentage of the profession will retire and younger librarians are not staying in the profession and moving up the "food chain" because we are seen as not "sexy enough" using the word library or librarian to describe what we do. Certainly food for thought.
