The National Library in Perth |
||||
The West Australian librarians attending the presentations expressed significant interest in the Library’s digitisation program. They were also very interested in working with the Library to improve access to resources held in libraries, digital and printed materials.
A reception held at the Lawrence Wilson Gallery at the University of Western Australia provided an opportunity for National Library Friends, associates, collection donors and library professionals to meet with Library staff. It was a convivial event hosted by the Chair of the National Library Council, Sir James Gobbo and the Deputy Chair of Council, Professor Alan Robson. While in Perth, visits were made to many libraries and cultural institutions to discuss future collaborative activities. A number of Western Australian organisations expressed interest in participating in PictureAustralia, Australia Dancing and the National Bibliographic Database. The Library works closely with cultural institutions around Australia and has also led in the development of services such as online digital access and delivery projects. By engaging with the library community information on the Library’s strategic services can be exchanged. The Western Australian visit is part of a program of state visits by senior Library staff. |
