Just had a riveting tea break with a Colleague who attended this Seminar at Macquarie University yesterday. For those who are interested to follow this up, the seminar was conducted by Michael Stephens. His blog can be accessed at: http://www.techsource.ala.org/blog/2005/11/do-libraries-matter-on-library-librarian-20.html
Through the sharing of information, another Colleague made a suggestion about collection of poster images around NSW soliciting locals to contribute the digital images and load them into Flickr. This contributes to our Ephemera collection. A prize event can also be organised where a good image can be rewarded, and maybe the awarded image can be used as a starting point for a creative writing exercise (poetry, short stories)-- again, drawing on the local creative communities to participate and sharing while enriching the cultural life of NSW. We can get some sponsors for these activities as we do for the @Mitchell projects.

The Michael Stephens talk was very interesting. You can view the links he talked about here http://tametheweb.com/2008/02/25/links-in-the-hyperlinked-library-2008/. He is going to upload his presentation as well. You might like to add his blog to your rss feed.
The possibilities of collecting Ephemera also sound really interesting - and we know from the numbers of images on Flickr that people are happy to share.
Thanks for the comment-- I have set up the RSS feed, but somehow couldn't get Stephens' blog specifically. Is there a way of doing that? Actually, it's not a bad idea subscribing to the entire ALA TechSource blog.
