LIANZA Welly Christmas do - Flying Burrito Bro's!

Hey hey!

Just reminding you all that we'll be having din dins and drinks at Flying Burrito Brother's on the corner of Cuba and Vivian Street in Wellington City. Now if you're a bonifide LIANZA member living in the Wellington region, you would've received a personal invite from the committee chair, Paddy Plunket.

If you haven't, not to worry, just let Laurinda know if you'd like to attend and then we can just hang out at Flying Burrito Bro's on Tuesday the 8th of December 7pm onwards.

SLIS happen to be having a do on the same night at The Library, so maybe we can even do an all nighter?!?

Hope to see you there :-)

ma te wa,

Rowena Cullen: "Why IT matters: Your health and the public health" (10 November)

For those people who were unable to attend her inaugural lecture last month, RowenaCullen, Professor of Information Management at Victoria University, has agreed to reprise her talk a second time LIANZA members and others from the Library and Information Managment profession.

In her talk, Professor Cullen will explore some of the successful uses of health information technology (IT), and possible reasons for the apparent failure of health IT projects. In the 21st century sophisticated technology is routinely used for medical diagnosis, to record and share patient information, and to make unprecedented amounts of medical and consumer health information available through the internet. However, this investment often fails to significantly improve health care.

Rowena will be speaking on Tuesday 10 November at the Old Government Buildings Lecture Theatre 1, from 12-1pm. This lecture is open to anyone. Please feel free to bring your lunch!
