If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will note that I post interviews given to my previous library students or staff. Meredith started with us at Urbis in December 2007 and I sent her an interview that shows the consolidation of her educational and work experience and how she’s putting her past and current experience to [...]

What’s been going on?
For the last few months I have been working with a group of Melbourne Aurorians to develop a small one day leadership taster [...]

This time of year, usually sends many staff into belly loads of groans. I myself, grapple with the amount of various paperwork we have to fill in, and get a bit confused with the whole process and wonder “will this ever amount to anything?”

My Library Intranet Portal was a relatively static page until about a month ago. Currently I receive about 8 to 12 emails a day from various news sources, then staff need to send me an email and sign up to each individually and manually, and when staff leave, I then need to take them off [...]

Okay, so all motions were set in place for the Intranet Launch this morning.
My email informing our 270 colleagues of the new intranet was sent at 6.30am (thanks to outlooks’ abilities to schedule when my email will be sent). With a login script ensuring everyones browser opened up with the new intranet address, and all [...]

Gee, just when you think everything is going sooooo smoothly, with all the bells and whistles of the intranet redesign coming together, and then left of centre, an email is sent around our company today (Friday at 12pm) indicating that the launch of the new brand is not happening Monday, but Wednesday.
