Can't make it to NLS6? Join us for a workshop and attend our BBQ

Can't make it to NLS6? You can still come to a workshop and the Symposium barbecue!

Workshops

We have opened up registrations for half and full day workshops for people who are not attending NLS6. These workshops will take place on Saturday 9 February (the day before the Symposium starts). While our workshops are geared towards new graduates, the topics are of broader appeal.

Our facilitators are experts in their fields, both in Australia and abroad, and the workshops focus on some of the key issues for the information professions right now. Whether you're a new grad who can't make it to the whole Symposium or a more experienced information professional looking to kick start your professional development for 2013, we have something to offer you!

Our workshops will cover topics such as leadership, resilience, copyright, research in practice, and professional identity. Check out the full program to see what's on offer.

Tickets to NLS6 workshops are a steal! We have priced these workshops to sell out and you simply won't get access to this calibre of speakers anywhere else at these prices.

Half day workshop:

• Student: $35
• Standard: $45

Full day workshop:

• Student: $65
• Standard: $95

If you are finding it hard to choose a topic, we have a few tips to help you make that right decision.
Made your decision? Then register now! The number of workshop places available to people not attending the full Symposium are extremely limited, so get in quick!

Barbecue

Are you coming to Brisbane for Information Online? Are you a local who would like to take advantage of a great networking opportunity? You can buy a ticket to the NLS6 barbecue (our version of the traditional conference dinner) for just $18. This is a fantastic opportunity to network with new graduates, seasoned professionals, and our awesome speakers. The BBQ will be held from 5.30pm on Monday 11 February at QUT Gardens Point campus. Register now!

Symposium Reminder!

Right now in states all over Australia committees and teams are working hard organising an eclectic program and experience for students and graduates who will be attending the 6^thNew Librarians Symposium on the 9-11 February.

The New Librarians Symposiums is a professional development event for students and New Graduates, not just librarians but for information professionals. The theme is Think different. Be different.

NLS will provide a rich and diverse professional development and leadership program with new and experienced conference speakers, a chance to network and connect with a plethora of students, new graduates, teachers, new graduate coordinators and people like you who want to connect and learn all in a comfortable and easy going environment. You can find more information about the NLS6 committees, Facebook, Website and twitter @aliaNLS6.

         The Symposium is run as part of the ALIA New Graduates Group. The NGG is a forum for new graduates to communicate and build relationships with networks within the profession. The best ways to communicate and be involved in the discussion of issues relevant to your profession is to subscribe to the new graduates elist and receive information as it comes. Another way is to get into contact with your regional new graduate coordinators who organise professional development training and social gatherings to meet and network in a comfortable setting.
