July 2019

Want to get engaged with ALIA SNGG?  ALIA Students and New Graduates Group are always on the look out for new social media coordinators to join our growing Facebook, Instagram and blog teams. As well as regional coordinators to run social and professional development events in their home states.

If volunteering on a regular basis is currently not an option for you consider writing a blog post for us. We invite (and strongly encourage!) you to submit guest posts publication here on the SNGG blog. Click here to learn more about the volunteering.

We recently interviewed Kirsten Thorpe.  If you didn’t get to read this interview, please have a look at it now!

July’s #auslibchat will be about leadership. The questions are located here and the chat will begin at 9pm AEST on Tuesday 2nd July.

June’s metadata chat is available here.

NLS9 is just around the corner!  Those who are attending get to play Students and New Grads Bingo! Remember to tag SNGG Twitter or Instagram when you play!

The Call for Proposals for ALIA National 2020 Conference are now open, find out more at this link.

Tomorrow night in Brisbane, join the CSU Study Visit students for a social event!

You know your Online Presence needs a clean if you are always saying “Here’s my handle, but I haven’t used Twitter in a while” or “Yeah, I’m on LinkedIn but I haven’t filled in much of my profile”. If that’s you (or you are just wondering where to start online), you should come to our August event.

ALIA SNGG is happy to present Jade Koekoe, an Online Presence Specialist who wants to spend an hour (or two) helping you fix that. Come along to our workshop where Jade will cover: 

• What an Online Presence is.
• Creating a Personal Brand and using it.
• Benefits and pitfalls of an Online Presence.
• What you can customise on social media so people know they have found you.
