There have been significant achievements, major learning and also a number of issues which have sometimes resulted in opportunities. In particular, the panel will discuss issues which the APN has brought into sharp relief and the responses of libraries to them.

Local Government Corporate librarians meeting Canterbury Room
For the Corporate Librarian who is working in Local Government (or the equivalent in other countries). We are meeting informally to discuss issues and share ideas that are relevant to our particular specialist libraries. We tend to be sole charge, or have a staff of no more than two. We are primarily responsible for the information needs of the staff of Regional, District, Unitary or City Councils. However we are available for the public. Our duties include a range of activities from research to circulation of periodicals. We also deal with marketing and promotional issues. (See the recent edition of Library Life which has an article about Environment Waikato's contribution to Library Week). And, all the other things Specialist Librarians do.
