ALIA NLS6 Keynote speaker revealed #1 – Marcus Foth

Amidst the calls for proposals and reviewers, partnering with sponsors, and arranging accommodation deals, the organising committee has also been getting very excited about confirming our keynote speaker line-up. Now that September is here, we can *officially* share our excitement by revealing our first keynote speaker for NLS6.

Drum roll please… We’re excited to present…

Associate Professor Marcus Foth, Founder and Director of the Urban Informatics Research Lab, and Principal Research Fellow in the School of Design of the Creative Industries Faculty at Queensland University of Technology.

We’re thrilled to have Marcus joining us in February 2013, to inspire us and to encourage us to be different. In fact, we even asked Marcus, What does it mean to you to ‘be different’?  His response:

When everyone walks in the one (research) direction, it is sometimes useful to identify the opportunities of walking in the other direction and take the road less travelled. Innovative research is inherently risky, so the exploratory nature of this approach requires some confidence to “be different”. For instance, in the early 2000s when lots of commentators were still heralding the “death of distance” and touting the global information superhighway, e-commerce, telework and distant education, we started to look at the continuing importance of place and local communities. And these days when a lot of attention is (rightly) focussed on digitisation of everything (books, music, knowledge), we are exploring digital fabrication, that is, turning bits back into atoms.

Your job now is to start following Marcus on Twitter, you’ll find him online @sunday9pm, check out some of the projects that the Urban Informatics Research Lab have undertaken, and start thinking about all the questions you want to ask him (yes, you will get the chance!).

Marcus, we are supremely excited that you are joining us at NLS6.

Interested in the effective implementation of educational change, Jill’s strategic ICT planning goal has been to enable a high performance learning organisation with fast, secure and reliable communications.  She is a member of the library associations and takes an equally active role in the professional learning communities of national educational associations.


University Libraries: From UTAS, we have Christine Evans who, for over a 20 year career to-date, has worked in public libraries, special libraries and higher education libraries in the north and south of Tasmania.  Since 2004, Chris has been Science Librarian at the University of Tasmania (UTAS).

Shape the NLS6 program! Have your say on keynote topics and speakers

The Sixth New Librarians Symposium (NLS6) is taking place in Brisbane before Information Online on the 10th and 11th of February 2013. It might seem far away but the wheels are turning to make this the best ever NLS. This is an event for you: aimed at students and recent (or not so recent) graduates of the information industry (not just Librarians!).

One of the very first tasks for the NLS6 Organising Committee is locking in a range of awesome keynote speakers.

But in keeping with our Be different theme, we want to take a different approach to selecting speakers for keynote presentations and participants for panels.

This time round, we want you guys – the delegates-to-be – to tell us what you want to hear about and who you want to hear from.

We encourage you to think differently:

• Think beyond the L in LIS. What’s happening in the broader information profession?
• Think beyond the obvious three. It’s not just about academic, public and special libraries. Who inspires you in school libraries? Research libraries? Non-traditional library roles?
• Think beyond a lecture. Our ‘keynote’ sessions don’t have to be traditional keynotes. Want to hear different people on the same topic? Suggest a panel, debate, or round of lightening talk keynotes.

You can suggest topics or people – we’re open to both.

Although we can’t promise stacks of big names from overseas, don’t limit your thinking at this point. As well as having people present in person at NLS6, we’re open to bringing some keynote presenters in virtually.

So let’s get a discussion going! Tell us what you think, either in the comments on the website (http://newlibrarianssymposium.com/2012/05/16/shape-the-nls6-program-have-your-say-on-keynote-topics-and-speakers/), or by tweeting with the hashtag #mynls6. Have your say by COB Friday 25 May.
