From ALA to ALIA: Conference mentoring in Australia Poster session Anaheim Convention Center
Exhibit Hall Poster Area Table 14
Description :

Can a model used successfully for over a decade in the American context be transplanted to the Australian environment? The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) has a proud history of new graduate activity and innovation. The New Librarians Symposium has been running successfully on a biennial basis for a decade, and the new graduate movement is strong. The researcher, an active new graduate and member of the New Generation Advisory Committee (NGAC), recognized there was a gap in support for new graduates at large plenary conferences. A colleague in NGAC who attended ALA Annual in 2008 brought back the idea of "conference mentoring," a program used successfully by the ALA New Members Round Table (NMRT) for many years. After applying for and winning the ALIA Study Grant in 2010, the researcher implemented a trial of conference mentoring at ALIA's largest conference, ALIA Information Online, in Sydney in February 2011. This poster will summarize the findings of the trial, highlighting modifications to the program and differences noted in implementing conference mentoring in a local context.

Ignite Session: I Get by with a Little Help from My Friends: Fostering Support Systems for Academic Librarians Program Anaheim Convention Center
208A Table 6
Description :

Ignite speakers present for exactly 5 minutes, accompanied by 20 slides. Each slide is displayed for 15 seconds, with slides advancing automatically. This is one of six Ignite sessions in this time slot.

With shrinking budgets and fierce job competition, it is tempting to focus solely on one’s own career without a passing thought to the growth and development of one’s colleagues. This Ignite! session seeks to encourage the development of professional support systems among academic librarians. It is to the benefit of the whole institution when librarians seek to support and encourage each other to present, publish and thus gain promotion. Even unemployed librarians can create communities of support which in turn can develop into cross-institutional partnerships. It is possible to create not only a higher level of professionalism but also a higher level of job satisfaction, particularly for academic librarians on the tenure track. As academic libraries leap forward into the future, it is easy to get swept up in the newest information literacy or technology trend. By first creating a culture of professional support, mentoring, and encouragement, academic libraries are able to build a strong foundation through its librarians who in turn usher in higher levels of scholarship and expertise.

Conversation Starters: Shining the Light on Departmental Divisions: Creating Solutions Program Anaheim Convention Center
208A
Description :

Technical services and public services personnel bring very different philosophies, experiences and needs to the development table. What are these differences and how can collaborative working groups bring balance to the often seemingly disparate issues when creating and implementing new technologies that benefit the user?

Why do we feel the need to identify with one or the other, apart from administrative hierarchy? How does this division potentially affect our ability to communicate and collaborate within the library? Is it an asset or a roadblock to innovation? For example, one side-effect of tightened travel budgets is that librarians and staff are much more selective about which conferences they attend. With the stakes of tenure and/or promotion high, one tends to gravitate toward conferences most similar to one’s own field, limiting the chances for “cross-pollination” of ideas and ideology.

This facilitated discussion will give participants a chance to voice concerns and potentially work out solutions in a non-confrontational atmosphere. No “us” versus “them” allowed here. Staff, faculty, and administrators are all welcome.
