From: NSLA Consortium <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 01:51:01 +0000 Dear LIBLICENSE-L colleagues I am writing to introduce myself and the National & State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) eResources Consortium. I am the new Convenor of the NSLA eResources Consortium. I started work at the National Library of Australia in mid-February 2014. I have 15 years’ experience as a library manager in specialist libraries. I spent 9 years (2001-2010) in the Pacific where I was active in library development, advocacy and access to information. After returning to Australia in 2010 I worked for a DFAT aid project in Canberra until I joined CAUL in 2013 as the Communication and Policy Officer. I am very much looking forward to working with LIBLICENSE-L colleagues. The National & State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) eResources Consortium was established by the peak body representing national, state and territory libraries in Australia. The purpose of the NSLA eResources Consortium is to secure access to commercial electronic information resources for its members. The NSLA eResources Consortium aims to simplify licensing arrangements, improve cost benefits for member libraries, and to explore opportunities for making electronic products more widely available to all Australians, regardless of where they live. I have re-established our presence on the ICOLC website, see our ICOLC entry http://icolc.net/consortia/239 I have found the LIBLICENSE-L listserv a great source of information and I look forward to engaging with colleagues via this forum, so I thought it polite to send this introductory email.
