Professor Denise Lievesley, the Director of the Data Archive, University of Essex, UK, is visiting Australia. We have invited her to talk to members of the ASA about access to electronic data in Europe and other related topics, and to join us for dinner. We will meet in the Cellar Bar Bistro, downstairs at University House, Balmain Crescent, ANU at 6.30 pm on Wed 3 February. The ASA has booked the large room to your left as you face the dessert counter. The Cellar Bar serves hot meals or there is Boffins Restaurant upstairs.
All members are welcome.
RSVP by 4 pm Tuesday 2 February 1999. The Branch would like to thank Adrian and Judy Cunningham for opening their home for our Christmas party. Thanks also to Eileen Boyldew for organising the food. The Manager of the Research Centre, Bet Dracoulis, introduced the site tour by explaining that the update of the reading areas originated from requirements to provide better service to clients and also from the need to address occupational health and safety issues in the staff accommodation and storage areas. This necessary work was incorporated into the larger program of redevelopment of the galleries of the Memorial and coordinated by a two-person team with staff input integrated into the process.
