Midwinter Dinner 27 August 2015

The annual Librarians Midwinter Dinner was held on 27 August at the CIT restaurant. We had a good turnout of about 28 library professionals from all sectors with a strong contingent from the CIT library. 

Stuart Ferguson who retired from the University of Canberra as the principal lecturer of the Master of Information  Studies spoke at the dinner. Stuart developed the two strands of this degree in librarianship and records management. Stuart reflected on his long career over 30 year in Great Britain, then South Africa and then onto Australia. He outlined the changes in the profession he has seen in that period.

  Kym Holden a long-time volunteer on many library committees and activities for ALIA and other library bodies was awarded her silver pin for her voluntary efforts at the Midwinter dinner.
