The Department's 40th anniversary celebrations

To start the celebrations for our 40th year, on June 29th the Department of Information Studies hosted a dinner to celebrate 40 years of library and information studies education at Curtin University and previously WAIT. The dinner was organised by the Information Studies Alumni Committee and was a fun night. It seemed, from the noise and laughter level, that all enjoyed themselves. Amongst the guests were: one student from Singapore and two former staff members (Nancy Lane a former Head of the Department, and Janette Wright) flew in from the Eastern states of Australia. Further acknowledgement of this anniversary will be an alumni breakfast in October 2011, followed by a seminar on library education and related matters.
