I kept saying to folk that Fiona was the dynamo of NLS2006, driving the programme, lining up speakers, and so on. Way impressive. NLS2006 was a blast that finished with a killer DJ.

As a new librarian, it's been so encouraging to discover such a vibrant professional community, especially for those of us who are still on the "lower rungs" of the profession, and it's been inspirational hearing everybody's stories on how we can keep pushing to succeed in the industry. :) NLS was great!

It was amazing to see how those two themes developed - it wasn't obvious back in April that it would work out like that. I feel more inspired about being a librarian and doing my bit than I have in a long long time. You did a magnificent job with the programme, Fiona.

Woohoo! I am the same - not so much of a New Librarian anymore but these conferences have the most relevant content for me. I think a lot of not-so-new Librarians would get just as much out of it.

But the newgrads are such a wonderful group that I plan to continue to be involved with them as long as they'll have me, and I definitely plan to attend NLS4 in 2008. Thanks Niki and Cameron! :)

I'll be extending congratulations to all of the NLS 2006 Committee, too, of course. Those of us who have retired and left full time work in the library and information world know the future is in good hands when we work with people like you. ALIA, esp ALIA in NSW, will benefit from your continued involvement, and I hope you'll stay involved now that NLS 2006 is over (though you definitely deserve some recovery time first!).

Especially since next year I don't know if I would be considered a "New Librarian" anymore... I’m really kicking myself for not going.
