Digital Picnic

Abstract

The University of Auckland Library lifts the lid on its hamper of digital goodies and invites conference attendees to sample from the rich spread prepared by the Library's staff. The menu selection will allow participants in a relaxed picnic style workshop to have an insight into how the University of Auckland Library has utilised emerging technologies and different approaches to meet changing user needs for research, teaching, and learning. The fare will include the creation of digitised collections, the refreshing of existing information products and services, the development of new tools and websites for discovery, accompanied by a virtual tour of internationally recognised digital resources available from the University of Auckland Library. There is something for everyone's taste including Art, Literature, History, Statistics, Theses - mostly with a distinctive New Zealand flavour. You will have ample time to digest what's on offer with the added opportunity to meet and quiz "the chefs". We guarantee you will leave sated and eager to share this content with your users, allowing them to partake in your experience as well at little or no expense to your library service!
