Melbourne Indexers: Editing the ANZSI Newsletter Index
2016-08-03 18:00 - 19:30 | Holy Trinity Anglican Church Hall, 1 Pakington St, Kew, VIC, 3101, Australia
Twenty years of newsletters, several indexers and what do you get? While it isn’t a dog’s breakfast, there is quite a lot of editing to be done. Most is obvious. Names need to be checked, typos, entries need to be in the form decided, etc.
There is variation in how some types of articles have been indexed. Please come and provide guidance on how things should appear in the index.

Canberra Region Indexers: National Library Tour
2016-08-02 13:00 - 15:30 | National Library of Australia, Parkes Place, Canberra, ACT, 2600, Australia
Join us for a 45-minute behind-the-scenes tour of our National Library, held especially for our group. We’ll get to visit their stacks, and discover curiosities in the Library’s collection. We will head to the Bookplate Café afterwards for afternoon tea.
Meet in the foyer of the Library, at 12:55 pm. Please RSVP to Denise by Sunday 31 July.
NB: if you’re bringing a large bag, it will need to be put in one of the free lockers on the ground floor — they cannot be taken on the tour. Also note that there is now pay parking at the NLA. Car pooling or catching a bus are good options if you’d like to reduce or avoid the cost of parking.
