"New Thinking on LIANZA" Meeting

"New Thinking on LIANZA" - meetings
Monday 19th November 2007 5.30pm @ Hastings Central Library
LIANZA Councillors are seeking feedback from their regions (and other groups of members) about the future structure of the organisation.
The SIGs/Regions/Council meeting prior to Conference 2007 discussed this at some length, and it was decided to run meetings around the country to discuss the same issues.

Questions for consideration:
• What works well currently?
• What would you like to see changed? In what way?
• What sort of organisation would you like LIANZA to be in the future?

National Digital Forum

What is the National Digital Forum?
The National Digital Forum (NDF) is a coalition of organisations across New Zealand Aotearoa with an interest in digital resources. These organisations include museums, archives, art galleries, libraries and government departments.

The NDF is identifying opportunities for organisations to collaborate, co-operate and share information with each other. The objective of the NDF is to facilitate a national approach to building collections of digital cultural heritage resources. A national cross-sectoral approach will help organisations to:
avoid duplicating effort
share information and develop expertise in the regions and nationally
negotiate funding and apply for grants, by providing a strong national platform
