I live in Orange, Central West NSW, Australia and found in the Charles
Sturt University site
(http://news.csu.edu.au/director/regionalnews.cfm?nPageNum=2) a
reference to a Web 2.0 seminar at the National Library of Australia
about libraries and Web 2.0 on 27/11/07. Jake Wallis said he could
provide me with a copy of the presentation transcript in PowerPoint.
Jake is at Wagga Wagga about 2 hours south of Orange near the
Victoria-NSW border.
I also found there was a blog for CSU Centre for Information Studies -
quite a switched on library school!
http://centreforinfostudies.blogspot.com/
They also cover knowledge management and distance education using
online services in their e-publications.
For once there is a library school that has not been gobbled up by the
Business School or Commerce Department like at UNSW where I studied
librarianship in 1991 and can still let knowledge management be to the
fore, not as part of an MBA or MIS course but more traditional
information science!
Kevin Rudd, the new prime minister in Australia, has a new Ministry
called Broadband, Communications and Digital Economy so there may be
more hope in the new Rudd era of more electronic industry developing
in Australia. It takes so long to get going but at last something is
moving in Australia re an Internet knowledge-based industry.
