indeed a professional librarian.
PRESIDENT’S
COLUMN
I received another huge confidence boost when I was
selected for facilitator training in preparation for the
N strategy conference in Nelson. Initially it was a bit
unnerving having to manage the senior professionals in
my group, but the training had been thorough and there
were scripts to follow. I soon found I enjoyed directing
activities, and getting the members to achieve the
required outcomes.
In September I attended the
Otago/Southland weekend school
at Gore. I took the opportunity to
visit several libraries in Central
Otago and Southland with Helen
Brownlie, who had to be driver,
navigator, minder and tour guide
all at the same time. It was a
great road-trip, meeting and
chatting to library staff in their working environments. It
was good to see librarians active in their local
communities.

in this issue The weekend school (and dinner) was a useful learning
and networking opportunity for the attendees – me included. In my official address I talked about what sort of
organisation LIANZA is, and what characteristics
(strong, active, engaged, professional) I believe LIANZA
member should have.

My story continued…. (1990 – 1994)
Being a systems librarian is really stressful. You have
to be detailed, accurate, and quick. You have to be
conversant with systems jargon, but be able to explain
technology in ordinary language. You have to deal with
a continuous stream of problems and complaints, yet
never be negative or crabby. Most of all you are
expected to have mystical powers to identify and fix
things. Luckily in my time at Manukau Libraries,
CTRL-S, CTRL-Q and the instruction “turn off the
power, count to 10 slowly, and turn the power on again”
kept my reputation intact.
During this time the library manager strongly
encouraged me to apply for an Associateship. Like most
librarians I needed a fairly strong nudge to consider
myself “good enough” to meet the criteria. At first I felt
uncomfortable writing about my professional
achievements, but by the time I had finished, I was
surprised and proud of what I had accomplished over
the previous five years. The whole experience, despite
a nervous interview and an embarrassing coughing
fit, confirmed to me that, although not perfect, I was

TUMUAKI
alright to ask questions, that it is alright to keep asking
for help, but there is a limit to that as well and you have
to let common sense guide you on that one.
E nga reo, e nga mana e nga
karangatanga maha tena tatau
katoa, Tena ra tatau i o tatau tini
mate, moe mai, moe mai i te
moengaroa. Tenei ka mihi ake ki
te hunga ora tena koutou, tena
koutou, tena tatau katoa.
You can, like I have, adopt a set of your own aphorisms
to reflect your professional practice, I have used
aphorisms to set my code of practice as a professional
and yet they are also philosophical in nature as well, full
of metaphor for the user to interpret the metaphor as
they wish, keeping to the integrity of the authors intent
of course. For me, these aphorisms are my ‘signposts’
for my professional philosophy, he taonga nō tuawhakarere, he taonga tuauriuri, whaioio, he taonga
kamehameha, they are treasures from the distant past
and the world beyond, they are treasures of the venerated multitudes that have passed before us, they are
treasures every treasured. We treasure the aphorisms
of our ancestors as they inform us through the ages.
The beauty of having membership with a diverse range
of skills is that you are able to call on that expertise
(whatever field).
Only having worked in a Tertiary area for a small time, I
thought, here’s a great opportunity to share some of the
skills/ insights that Te Roopu Whakahau have among
their whanau.
How I got to where I am today?
How did I get to where I am today? I think my journey
to librarianship started in 2000, there were many
influences, but these three were major influences on
this journey to librarianship, Janet Burrell, Vicki
Stephens, and David Jones. As a student of te reo
Māori at Wintec, we were required to research
manuscripts through the Tapuhi database. The two
people that trained us to do this were Vicki Stephens
and the late Janet Burrell.
On that note I would like to introduce Moheka Williams
below; he is the current Liaison/ Specialist Librarian
(Māori, Pacifica and Indigenous) at the Waikato Institute
of Technology.
Your professional philosophy.
What is my professional philosophy within a tertiary
library? Being Māori, it differs significantly from that of
my non-Māori peers that have not been exposed to a
Māori world view, I have the benefit of being able to
walk in two worlds and reflect on two knowledge bases.
As I reflect on my own professional philosophy, I reflect
on my journey through a tertiary library both as a
student and staff member, and it is hoped that these
reflections will inform the answer to this question posed.
Janet inspired me by her willingness to not only teach
us to access information and records through the
Tapuhi database and her patience in teaching us
boolean operators and search techniques, it was her
manner in wanting to learn more of te reo that inspired
me to pay attention to what she taught us. As much as
we asked her questions about searching databases and
such, she was equally a student in te reo as well. She
used to get a thrill when we would sing to her, she
would always ensure that every database session we
had with her there was a plentiful supply of lollies. It was
her ngakau mahaki, her patience and kindness that
inspired me to aspire to become a librarian.
In order to set the tone of this article, I will draw from a
simple phrase ‘Manaaki i te mauri o te tangata; this
translates as ‘treat with consideration the essence of the
person’ I will also draw upon the whakatauki or proverb
that is being used at this year’s LIANZA conference
‘Hutia te rito o te harakeke, kei whea, te kōmako e kō?
Kī mai ki āhau, He aha te mea nui o tēnei ao? Māku e kī
atu, he tangata, he tangata, he tangata. If you tear out
the heart of the flax, where will the bellbird sing? You
ask me, what is the most precious thing in this world?
I say, tis people, tis people, tis people.’
Vicki Stephens and David Jones showed me that it was
cool to be a librarian, their vibrancy and spontaneity and
humour certainly put paid to my librarian stereotype.
Not only were they professional in what they did, they
made a library a fun place to be in and inspired me to
come back to the library. David was perhaps the most
influential in my decision to become a librarian, his
empathy with patrons, especially Māori library users
was perhaps the most refreshing experience that I have
had in a library, his knowledge and skill in locating information, especially Māori information, and recognising
the needs of the Māori library user engendered trust
and friendship.
You could consider both of these aphorisms at face
value and translate these into your work and practice as
professionals in the management of information. But for
Māori the deeper philosophy behind these aphorisms
are more like tohutohu or directives. These aphorisms
dictate the manner in which we conduct ourselves and
how we offer our services.
How do I apply these aphorisms within the library I work
in? Irrespective of a person’s background, each patron
is treated with respect, in effect, you make them feel
that you really do care about their needs; you take the
time needed to ensure that their visit to the library is
going to have them feel good about their visit and happy
to return. Tertiary Libraries, especially for many Māori
returning to education can be intimidating, they exude
academia and often are looked upon as forbidden
places, the most helpful thing a librarian can do is to
make patrons as comfortable as possible, that it is
David also acknowledged and practice tikanga within
the Turnbull library and this was not missed by me or
my class or the many such classes from Wintec that
made that yearly field trip to the Turnbull library. I think
David inspired me the most, insomuch in his ability to
manaaki i te mauri o te tangata. I wish him well at
Victoria University of Wellington Library.
In April 2005, I applied for the Māori Liaison Librarian
2
position at Waikato Institute of Technology and have
been here ever since. There have been a total of four
former students from Wintec and in particular from the
same te reo Māori programme that have become
librarians, myself, Jenny Barnett, Hinerangi Kara and
Whetu Marama Te Ua.
Kia tau ngā manaakitanga o te wāhi ngaro i runga i a
tātou katoa.

LIANZA CONFERENCE 2009
Well I hope you enjoyed this snapshot about what it is
like to be a Tertiary librarian, especially Maori. I hope it
has given you some insights into Maori philosophies
with a view of what it is that make the Maori librarians
tick. Te Roopu Whakahau has been developing a
Matauranga Maori course to nurture future understanding right across the board.
Conference is one week away!
There will be over 500 delegates coming to
Christchurch in only one week. It is not too late for you
to register! Check out the programme at
http://www.lianza.org.nz/events/conference2009/
programme.html and the videos on the blog http://
lianza2009.wordpress.com/tag/videos/ to tempt you
along. Registrations close Friday 8th October.
Well that’s it for me again, acknowledgments to Moheka
for sharing this korero with us and I hope to see you all
at the Conference.
The Library Tour is now fully booked. For those of you

A bit of speed dancing anyone in SOL Square on
Sunday afternoon? Talking of SOL Square, we have
over 200 confirmed for the "not to be missed" SOL
Square dinner - details to be released on the blog this
week. As you will have seen on the SOL Square video,
it is a fantastic location full of back street, early
Christchurch charm and a variety of menus for every
palate. To get a daytime, historical perspective follow
the heritage walk http://www.christchurch.org.nz/

Square.
EDITORIAL
I’m sure I don’t need to remind
you that Conference starts on 12th
October. There are a couple of
articles in this issue which are
particularly relevant and should
be read before you go. For me,
attending the Powhiri has always
been a very special way to start
conference and sets the tone for
the following days. If you are not
sure what it is all about Haneta
Pierce has written a very helpful explanation.
Powhiri
The Powhiri is scheduled for Monday 12th at 8.30am
assembling on the bridge in Victoria Square. This is a 1
minute walk from the conference venue. To familiarise
yourself with the LIANZA waiata, the recording and
words are on the LIANZA website http://
www.lianza.org.nz/treaty/waiata.html.
While the line up of speakers at conference looks
exciting and the exhibitors are always interesting don’t
forget that conference is also the ideal occasion to
network. Paddy Plunkett’s article about conversations
with David Gurteen should inspire you all to polish up
your networking skills.
This special ceremony allows us as the hosts to welcome you, so please ensure you have registered prior
to 8.30am, so that you can attend. Read Haneta’s article following this for more information about the Powhiri.
I hope those of you who are going to conference will
have a great time and return full of enthusiasm for all
the new things you have learned and the amazing ideas
you have picked up. Perhaps you will even be motivated
to share them with those of us who didn’t attend by
writing an article for the next issue of Library Life?
3M Award for Innovation in Libraries
All conference delegates should have received an email
with the link to the page for the 3M Award for Innovation

Introducing Master of Ceremonies Amiria Reriti, Auckland Regional
Public Health Service.
Amiria is a manager for Auckland
Regional Public Health Service and
has been the Chairperson of the
Board of Trustees Te Kura Kaupapa
Māori a Rohe o Mangere, ATAK the
National Māori Smokefree Coalition
and currently the Black Pearl
National Trust, a foundation trustee for the Māori Music
Industry Coalition, a Director of a company, JP, Marriage and Civil Union Celebrant and a singer for local
and international audiences. You may also recognise
Amiria from her current role on TV as one of the Aunties
in "Aunty moves in" on Mondays at 9pm on Maori
TV. http://www.listener.co.nz/issue/3619/tvradio/ 14031/
its_all_relative.html
SO WHAT THE HECK IS A PŌWHIRI?
The primary purpose of the pōwhiri is to bring two
groups of people - hosts and visitors together, step by
step, until they are sufficiently comfortable with each
other to break ranks, mingle with each other and
together undertake the business of the conference.
Often what happens when the powhiri is transferred out
of the traditional marae setting into a public one is that it
acquires an additional purpose, that of making a
symbolic statement about the identity of the local,
regional or national community and the part Māori have
within that. It also acquires a different audience, one
whose members in most cases do not understand or
speak the Māori language. This presents the presiding
kaumatua (both men and women) with a dilemma. They
feel that lapsing into English breaches the tapu of the
pōwhiri, but adhering to the Māori language rule means
that most of those present do not appreciate the
speeches, miss out on the information they supply, and
endure instead of enjoying the ceremony.
Amiria is from Ngai Tahu so it is a great pleasure to
have her home to MC for us.
Sponsors & Exhibitors
A big thank you to our Conference sponsors and
exhibitors this year.

That unfortunately, widens the gap between hosts and
visitors instead of reducing it as the powhiri is meant to
do. Often kaumatua quietly disappear after they have
fulfilled their ceremonial role, and the proceedings
introduced by the pōwhiri revert to monocultural Pakeha
practice for the rest of the time. In such cases, the
powhiri is a clip-on instead of being an integral part of
the whole.

However these problems can be solved by discussing
the issues together as is the case with LIANZA‘s Treaty
partner Te Rōpū Whakahau. Te Rōpū Whakahau offer
support and advice at a local level for conference
planning to include bicultural content.
A list of exhibitors can be found at:
http://www.lianza.org.nz/events/conference2009/
exhibition.html
The trick is to work out a compromise which enables
Māori to fulfil the requirements of tikanga and non-Māori
to understand what is going on, so that staging the
powhiri as part of public ceremonial achieves both its
old and its new purposes
Exhibition Passport
While at conference you can win a 1TB (terrabyte) hard
disk! To be in to win, have your Exhibition Passport
stamped by 40 different exhibitors. Winners must be
present at the drawing, Wednesday 14th, 3.30 pm.
A good tool to help us through this process is the
LIANZA Conference handbook which clearly sets out
the standards & expectations of the bicultural content
for Conferences. We made sure that we have a
conference Kaumatua and that he was invited to the
before and after conference occasions as well as having
a daily presence at conference. So if you see our
kaumatua Riki Pitama please say Kia ora to him. He
especially wants our overseas visitors to feel welcomed
so is breaking with tradition a little to offer them a
chance to say hello in their own language if they wish.

So we warmly invite you to attend our Pōwhiri which is

Square only a 1 minute walk from the conference
venue. Victoria Square is a gorgeous restful setting

Following the review process, which has been carried
out conscientiously, objectively and with dialogue with
and feedback from the institutions, the Board has
carefully considered and determined its position on the
status of each qualification in terms of the degree to
which the BoK is covered. The Board has also
therefore determined the different approaches necessary to support the graduates of the programmes to
ensure that any gaps in BoK coverage in a specific
qualification can be covered as part of their supervised
initial professional training.
LIANZA PROFESSION REGISTRATION BOARD ANNOUNCEMENT
Review of Curricula of NZ Graduate Library and
Information Programmes
Following is the outcome of this review and the
Registration Board’s decision about the status of each
qualification
A key feature of the LIANZA Library and Information
Profession Registration Scheme is to ensure that the
curricula of NZ graduate library and information
programmes adequately cover the body of knowledge
(BoK) as defined by the Profession Registration Board

Institution
VUW
OP
The professional body of knowledge sets out those
skills that library and information professionals need for
roles within institutions where sound professional
knowledge and judgement are required.
TWOR
The library and information management profession is
based on a distinct set of specialist knowledge and
skills, which are necessary to design, plan, develop,
manage, and evaluate the delivery of library and information services and meet clients’ information needs.

with 1 provision
*OP is required to demonstrate to the Board that specific areas of concern raised will be addressed in the
curricula within 12-18 months. The Board will support
OP in this process, and can report that OP has already
made progress in addressing these concerns.
This body of knowledge has been derived from
International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA)
guidelines, http://archive.ifla.org/VII/s23/bulletin/
guidelines.htm and adapted to include recognition of
indigenous knowledge paradigms specific to Aotearoa
New Zealand.
**TWOR – One proviso occurs because of the unique
nature of the programme – that graduates wishing to
move into a library career and professional registration
may need to undertake further tertiary study related to
BoK 1 (the information environment and library context)
and BoK 9 (management of information agencies) as
part of their period of supervised initial professional
training. Only a small number of graduates from TWOR
move into library work, and the Board does not wish the
fundamental nature and focus of this programme to
change.
In 2008, the Registration Board commissioned external
reviews of curricula of graduate library and information
programmes offered by Victoria University of Wellington
Te Whare Wānanga o te Upoko o te Ika a Maui (VUW)
and undergraduate programmes offered by Open
Polytechnic He Wharekura-tini Kaihautu o Aotearoa
(OP) and Te Wānanga o Raukawa (TWOR). The Terms
of Reference specified the purpose of the reviews as “to
assess the degree to which the curricula of the library
and information programmes offered by the three NZ
institutions cover the body of knowledge as defined by
the Profession Registration Board. The reviews provide
an opportunity to benchmark and set in place a pattern
of regular monitoring of the core curricula, as well as
encouraging continuous improvement of curricula content”.
Specific guidelines will be developed by the Board for
graduates of each school and their mentors to assist
with the development of individual training plans. This
will include identifying possible courses of study that are
suited to cover gaps.
The Board is committed to working constructively with
all three institutions to ensure that the qualifications being offered do adequately cover the BoK for those
graduates who wish to pursue a career in the library and
information profession, and that the qualifications themselves are widely recognised by the profession.
The reviews of programmes from VUW and OPNZ were
carried out by Marion Huckle and Dr Ian Lovecy from
CILIP (UK), supported by Barbara Garriock as the NZ
expert. Both Marion and Ian are experienced reviewers
for CILIP and conduct similar reviews in the UK as part
of CILIP’s accreditation process. Loriene Roy was engaged to conduct the review of the programme at TWOR.
Loriene is an acknowledged expert in indigenous knowledge systems and is a Professor at the School of InforLibrary Life, Issue 340 — October 2009

GROWING YOUR LEADERSHIP
CAPACITY
Request for Expressions of Interest
Debbie Dawson and Sally Lewis, in conjunction with
LIANZA, are pleased to present a one-day workshop for
librarians who wish to increase their leadership
effectiveness.
Possible timing
Possible dates:
•
•
•
•
Libraries need leaders. Organisational effectiveness
depends on the ability of the people in it to take action
and exert influence within their organisation. With our
fast changing environment, everyone in the library
needs to commit to continually evaluating its operation
for improvements – and to take action to make these
improvements happen. Speaking up, taking action and
taking charge all require confidence. This confidence is
the result of good self-knowledge about personal
strengths and areas that need development, moderated
by regular feedback from others.
Workshop timing: 9am to 4pm with a welcome coffee
and including lunch and morning and afternoon teas in
the cost of the course.
Target Locations

• who are in their first leadership position or providing
informal leadership support to a team leader or
manager
• for team leaders or ‘middle management’
• and for those holding specialist positions who have a
role in supporting other staff.
The course is designed to provide a targeted development opportunity. The focus is on increasing
self-awareness and helping emerging leaders to
communicate effectively with their team leaders and
managers, preparing them to ‘step up’ and support their
leadership with significant library-wide initiatives. Participants completing the workshop will have increased
leadership confidence, competence and awareness.

WAIKATO / BAY OF PLENTY REGION
The new committee met during September, joined by
Angela Broring who handed over Treasury duties to
Rebecca Whitehead. We drafted a programme outline
for the coming year, and events are posted on the
region web page as dates are confirmed. The Weekend
School will be on the 1st - 2nd May 2010 in Whitianga.
Easter and school holidays need to be avoided and, for
our colleagues in tertiary libraries, the beginning of the
academic year. Then, for those hoping it would have
been in summer, high season rates drive up accommodation prices, plus other venue bookings dictate
availability.
What will be covered?
• Consideration of leadership theory;
• Self-assessment activities to determine readiness
and capacity for leadership;
• Use of coaching model to workshop current library
challenges where leadership is required;
• Skills for clarifying expectations with others, including
giving and receiving feedback with senior management.
Some pre-workshop tasks are required to provide input
for some of the workshop activities.
Our Informal Gatherings are in Hamilton on Thursday
the 1st of October, and in Tauranga, for the Bay of
Plenty, on Friday 2nd of October. There was a good
attendance at the first Bay of Plenty Gathering in
Whakatane last month so we hope that members will go
over to Tauranga this time. The Thames Hauraki group
is still sourcing a new venue for their next Gathering.
What are the benefits of attending?
• Increased understanding of what is required from
leaders during times of change and uncertainty;
• Increased self-awareness of current leadership
capacity and areas for development;
• Practical support from facilitators and group to develop strategies to facilitate change and build teams;
• Opportunity to apply the theory and develop strategies to address common library challenges;
• Increased confidence to take action.

Visit to UCOL Learning Hub – 2 September 2009
Regional Councillor - out and about
A group of Ikaroa librarians was hosted recently by staff
at UCOL Library in Palmerston North. After drinks and
nibbles UCOL Associate Library Manager Doreen
Young gave a short presentation on UCOL’s Learning
Hub, which was officially opened earlier in the year.
Liaison librarians Sharon Ritchie and Dianne McConnell
talked about the Hub as a teaching and learning space,
and then attendees were given a tour.
September saw the beginning of (what I hope will be)
many Regional Councillor trips out to different parts of
the Wellington region.
This month I visited the
Wairarapa (including library staff from Masterton,
Featherston, Carterton and Greytown) with Alli Smith
from the LIANZA Office, then Upper Hutt to meet library
staff at Upper Hutt Public Library. Both groups had a
good discussion around the revalidation journal, and
there is a lot of enthusiasm to emulate Barbara's
sessions that she spoke about in last month's
column. The ins and outs of running professional
development events outside Wellington central also
generated some great ideas, and it was an excellent
opportunity for us to talk about what LIANZA is currently
up to. My thanks to Sandy Green and Debbie Duncan
for facilitating the visits and being so willing to do so!
It was interesting to hear about UCOL library's experiences whilst the project was underway. The Hub took
roughly two months for the building/refurbishing part
and there were all sorts of issues, such as heating and
lighting, and security of the building - there are seven
entrances/exits! The Library is open until 8pm in the
evening, but the building with computers and furniture is
open until 11pm.
The wireless network and borrowable laptops are proving
popular with students, as is the opportunity to work
informally in groups with a variety of comfortable
seating.

Nick Williams (1947-2009)
Nicholas George Williams died quite suddenly at his
home in Wellington on 20th September 2009. He was 61
and worked for many years in the National Library at
both its Palmerston North and Wellington offices. In
between, in the 1970s he was Borough Librarian of the
Masterton Public Library. Nick was a larger-than-life
character, positively involved with NZLA activities, who
had a passion for what libraries meant to communities –
a drive that carried on through his later career from the
mid-1980s forward in change management training. At
the time of his death he was working with the Pacific
Training Institute in Wellington, along with a role in
Negawatt Resource Ltd, a Hutt Valley-based business
for energy-efficient and sustainable building projects.
The large crowd at his funeral at Island Bay on September 29th reflected his wide range of interests and the
huge esteem he inspired from all who knew him.

MLIS recognised for registration
We were pleased that the LIANZA Board of Registration
recognises and approves the Master of Library and
Information Studies (MLIS) qualification for the
purposes of the LIANZA Registration Scheme. This
means that the current curriculum has been assessed at
a level sufficient to cover the Body of Knowledge, a
crucial part of the overall Registration criteria. All
students who graduate with the MLIS will be in a
position to apply for Registration and they receive a
10
VUW at LIANZA
conference
encouraging them to do so. We were pleased that Dr
Ian Lovecy and Marion Huckle reviewed the MLIS because they have considerable experience reviewing UK
qualifications on behalf of CILIP.
Brenda Chawner will be at
the LIANZA Conference in
October, and will be talking
about the new VUW
qualifications at the Library
and Information Management Programmes update
session (Tuesday 13 October, 5:30 pm). If you’re a
VUW graduate or student and catch Brenda at the right
moment, you might get one of the buttons that illustrate
this column – the new 2009 models show that we
haven’t forgotten our library connections and the Dewey
Classification!
As part of an ongoing desire to keep our qualifications
relevant and current, we have decided to introduce
three new qualifications next year, the Master of
Information Studies (MIS), the postgraduate Diploma in
Information Studies, and the postgraduate Certificate in
Information Studies. Because we are introducing the
MIS we have decided not to offer the MLIS to new
students, though those students already enrolled can
continue in that programme for a limited time. This
means that a new review is necessary to ensure that
the MIS covers the Body of Knowledge and will be
recognised and approved for Registration. As our
curriculum review took very careful note of the contents
of the Body of Knowledge, we have high hopes that the
MIS will be approved for Registration purposes next
year.
FROM THE
MARKETING DESK
Customers as Designers
If you have questions about the new qualifications,
please contact the programmes director, Philip Calvert
[email protected] or 04 463 6629.
I was talking to my friend Simon
Morton the other day. We were
talking in general about the Web
2.0 environment. We got on to
the fact that he receives a large
following for This Side Up, his
Radio NZ show, on Twitter. I asked him what were his
Twits mostly about he said "the usual 'I liked this or that'
but a lot about suggestions, subjects and ideas for the
show". It turns out that to a good degree, his customers
design his show - in 160 characters each.
Why IT matters: Your health
and the public health
Rowena Cullen’s recent promotion
to Professor will be marked by an
inaugural lecture in Wellington.
In the 21st century sophisticated
technology is routinely used for
medical diagnosis, to record and
share patient information, and to
make unprecedented amounts of
medical and consumer health
information available through the
internet. However, this investment
often fails to significantly improve health care. In her
inaugural lecture Professor Cullen will explore some of
the successful uses of health information technology
(IT), and possible reasons for the apparent failure of
health IT projects.
Simon never asks for ideas but his networks a so vast,
particularly online, that he has all the material he can
use... and the Twitter activity is creating another powerful channel for his digital fare. Simon's customers are
designers.
Universities, university libraries particularly, are the
perfect place for a Customer as Designers approach to
marketing - here's why.
Firstly, your customer group is 'closed' which means
they are finite in number and identifiable individually. They fit into a single overall category. Of course,
from there they fit into a number of very definable and
distinct categories. More on this later because I bet you
are thinking of medical, business, arts etc... wrong!
The Lecture will be at 6pm, Tuesday 13 October, in the
Old Government Buildings Lecture Theatre 2, Lambton
Quay. The lecture theatre is situated behind the main
building. RSVP to [email protected] with ‘Cullen’ in the
subject line or phone 04-463 6700. Unfortunately the
lecture clashes with the October LIANZA Conference,
but Rowena plans to also present the talk to a meeting
of the Te Upoko o te Ika a Maui Region of LIANZA.
Secondly, your customers (students) have very specific
expectations of the library's offerings and they are,
initially anyway, focused on these... so at least you
know where to start.
Library Study Expo in Auckland
Thirdly, In recent years the abundance of two way,
mostly web based, communication (the stuff Simon and
I were talking about) means that knowing what
customers want, how and why has become so
unimaginably cheap and easy to access. Often the
actual costs of communication is spread across
members of a network. Developing the ability to leverage off new situations is key to a Customer as Designer
approach.
Our Auckland Senior Tutor, Lynley Stone, attended the
Library Study Expo held at Auckland City Libraries on
16 September. She enjoyed meeting prospective students and discussing the new qualifications with them. If
you are based in Auckland and weren’t able to attend
the Expo, but have questions about VUW’s library and
information qualifications, you can contact Lynley on
[email protected] or 021 243 5457.

A Customer as Designer approach is about setting up
systems that devolve organisational needs and evolve
customer needs on a strategic and functional level. The
way we look at products, services and delivery channels
is no longer the point. The way customers view these
issues and functions matters. This is a content and
context approach where customers are given the tools
and rules to decide what services they receive and how
they receive them. It goes beyond seeking feedback
and interpreting often skewed information about what is
currently available.
ITPNZ JOINT RM COLLABORATION
PROJECT
When we talk about customer groups we come from the
angle that customers fit into a number of
categories. For example they can be technical or visual
or textual. One clear distinction is Analytical - people
who build upwards from the detail to the whole and
Synthesis - those who distill from the whole to the
elements. Clearly these 'types' won't want the same
service delivered in the same way. We all know that
learning styles and working styles exist so how about
these reflecting customer styles. These can be quite
subtle and vary from need to need, visit to visit.
The Polytechnic Library Managers Forum recognized
these issues, and looked for a collaborative solution to
building a joint recordkeeping framework and increasing
the skills of internal staff. Sheryl Morgan (Strategic
Project Portfolio Manager, Waikato Institute of Technology) and I were asked to put together a project
proposal, which gained the support of the polytechnics’
representing body (ITPNZ), who in turn secured funding
from the Government.
Background
The introduction of the Public Records Act 2005 (PRA)
was the first time that the New Zealand tertiary sector
had been included in any records management
compliance framework. In the polytechnic sector, there
is limited availability of qualified records staff and a
need to improve recordkeeping best practice in general.
Fifteen polytechnics participated in the project. The
geographic spread ranged from the very north to the
deep south of New Zealand. Information Leadership
Consulting, a leading, internationally recognized
information management consultancy from Christchurch, was engaged as the contractor to develop the
outcomes and training sessions. I was the nominated
Project Manager as the only Records Manager in the
sector at that time, and because of my experience in
collaborative projects.
Another feature of the Customer as Designer approach
is utilising new internet based technology that supercharges communication, often behind the scenes rather
than just online interface. In doing this, organisations
need to relinquish some control over how the tools like
the internet are used and some of the current rules that
are applied to customer interactions. They should focus
on the value of the strong relationship that arises from
matching services and products with distinct groups of
customers, what they want and how they want to
receive it.
The project deliverables were:
• A recordkeeping audit at each organisation, based
on the recordkeeping audit tool developed by
Archives New Zealand
• An information inventory to list all information held at
institutions and the functions they relate to
• A sector-wide file classification structure
• A sector-wide retention and disposal schedule
submitted to Archives New Zealand to go through
their approval process
A Customer as Designer approach to your service,
product, promotion and delivery systems will give you
some real benefits, shortening development time, save
on costs, targeting services, products and delivery and
great customer satisfaction.
Who wouldn't love a service they helped design?
I think that getting to grips with Customer as Designer is
fundamental to 21st century 4P's marketing to closed
groups. It is the same principle as it's always been
(product, place, price, promotion) but the value proposition is way different.
Issues to overcome
There were several challenges to be resolved to ensure
the success of this project:
You can find an interesting digital video on Customer as
Designer on www.ted.com Charles Leadbetter. Contact
me and I will be happy to send you some further links
electronically
• In general, the participating organisations had limited
knowledge or experience in records management
• Many of the organisations were focused on
compliance rather than business benefits
• Not all participants had experience in internal
collaboration and gaining staff cooperation
• How to provide training, support and document
sharing across geographically separated organisations, when there was not enough time or resources
to visit each polytechnic
• The daily resolution of individual issues between the
Project Manager, the participating organisations and
the Consultant
• Most participants were new to external collaboration
and the difficulties of finding common ground,
particularly across so many organisations
Have a great conference!

Ebook Library (EBL). The complete EBL catalogue of
approximately 102,000 bibliographic records was
loaded into the Polytechnic’s OPAC, and is updated
monthly. Demand-Driven Acquisition allows patrons to
request Short-Term Loans (STLs) of ebooks that the
Polytechnic does not own. The cost of the loan – a
percentage of the full price of the ebook that is set by
the publisher – is met by the Polytechnic. If the cost of
the loan is less than a predetermined amount, the loan
occurs immediately. If the cost is greater, the loan is
mediated by a Polytechnic staff member. Once an
ebook has had two STLs, on the third STL request an
Autopurchase occurs and the ebook is added to the
Polytechnic’s collection. A trial budget was established
to pay for STLs, while Autopurchases are treated as
normal monograph purchases.
Getting the Project to Work
Interestingly, the consulting firm, with staff based
throughout New Zealand, has made a strategic decision
not to have an office, so all staff work from home. This
meant that they had the expertise and tools to support
this project. These tools included:
• Use of a SharePoint work space to host the project,
including the ability to upload and share documents,
post announcements, facilitate discussions and input
inventory and audit results
• SharePoint discussion forum which was invaluable
for sharing recordkeeping, change management and
project management expertise, templates and
documents
• One or two day forums were held once a month, in
Wellington at Archives New Zealand, to provide
training and an exchange of ideas, issues and
questions
• Templates developed to provide consistent entry of
inventory and audit information
• Encouragement of a flexible and pragmatic project
culture, which made it easier to rearrange timelines
and share the workload among the participating
institutions.
The trial was not publicised, but usage has been steady
right from the start. Although the MARC records from
EBL rarely contain subject headings, patrons appear to
be finding material that suits their needs through
keyword searching only. With nearly three months worth
of usage data available, it seems that STL requests may
level off at around 300 per month, of which about 15%
are mediated. 26 autopurchases had occurred by late
September, and only 18 STL requests had been
rejected. Needless to say, we are monitoring usage and
expenditure closely, but so far most STLs and all
autopurchases have been in subject areas in which we
teach. In future we may also use the loan and
autopurchase patterns to inform our collection development in the print collections.
Outcomes and Added Benefits
The deliverables were achieved on time and within
budget. There were also some interesting benefits and
follow-on effects:
• The individual audit results were able to give
institutions more information about their immediate
risk areas and could be used to benchmark organisations against each other and the sector as a whole
• Financially sound, the total cost across the sector
was $80,000 or about $5,500 per organisation, plus
the cost of airfares to Wellington and staff time
• The level of knowledge transfer that was enabled,
not only through training and sharing expertise, but
also through the immediate use of that knowledge.
This led to further sharing of experiences in what did
and did not work for participants
• The recognition of the need for a project manager /
facilitator role to make the most of collaboration opportunities and the work within the sector that can be
shared.
• A sector-wide recognition of collaboration and its
benefits to organisations

VISIONARY LIBRARIAN RETIRES
AFTER THREE DECADES
Article and photography by
Piers Fuller, Wairarapa News,
16/09/09
After nearly 30 years of
tending the Masterton District
Library and Wairarapa
Archive, Joy Tutty is retiring.
The District Librarian has
been credited with many
innovations in library services
and is in fact the force behind
Masterton District Library
becoming one of the first
community libraries in New
Zealand to switch to fullycomputerised cataloguing.
The group meets again in October to discuss further
recordkeeping collaboration opportunities.
Samantha Wray
Records Manager, The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand
Project Manager, ITPNZ
Council CEO Wes ten Hove described Miss Tutty as ‘a
passionate advocate for the Masterton Library’.
“Improving services at the library was one of her cornerstone commitments and in 30 years she did not deter
from working tirelessly to make the library one of the
best in the country,” Mr ten Hove said.
OPEN POLYTECHNIC TRIALS
DEMAND-DRIVEN ACQUISITION FOR
EBOOKS.
Miss Tutty joined the library in 1980, with her first
priority being the construction of a new library building in

northern Queen Street. During planning she insisted
adequate provision be made for computer cabling.
“This showed huge foresight, given the fact computers
now manage library databases nationwide and back
then none did,” Mr ten Hove said.
Reprinted with permission from the Wairarapa News.
The new library opened in 1982 and has seen many
improvements. Innovations included the introduction of
the Eastern and Central Summer Reading programme
for children, the long running ‘Glistening Waters
Storytelling Festival’ and the ‘Yarns in Barns Festival’.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PROFESSIONAL
NETWORKING – CONVERSATIONS
AT THE GURTEEN KNOWLEDGE
CAFÉ
Miss Tutty also promoted the establishment of the
Wairarapa Archive and instigated an oral history
programme. She was the prime mover in the introduction of the te reo Maori component of the Summer
Reading Programme.
David Gurteen specialises in conversations, and I had
the opportunity to have a few with him while he was in
Wellington last month. As a self appointed minder
during part of his visit I managed to arrange for us to
walk together from his hotel in Cuba St. to the Chapman
Tripp offices where he had agreed to run a Knowledge
Café for members of Te Upoko o Te Ika a Maui, the
New Zealand Law Librarian’s Association and the New
Zealand Knowledge Network. The walk took about
twenty minutes and although we didn’t talk about
anything particularly profound, I found our exchange
delightful and edifying.
Active on the national library scene, Miss Tutty was a
member of the steering group for the formation of the
Association of Public Library Managers, and was part of
the consultation group for the Aotearoa People’s
Network that installed computers for free public use in
libraries.
Miss Tutty was awarded a G T Alley Fellowship to study
local history services in American libraries and was
made an Associate of the Library & Information
Association New Zealand Aotearoa (LIANZA) in 1986,
and a Fellowship in 2001.
I suspect that my response to our chat was more about
the fact that we were two human beings engaged in a
common activity and sharing our thoughts, rather than
the fact that he was an expert in the field of Knowledge
Management and the creator of a number of knowledge
sharing innovations. After experiencing the Knowledge
Café itself I was even more convinced that the value of
the evening came from the sense of vitality we found in
talking to people about the things we care and are
curious about than the brilliance of the technique.
In reflecting on her time at the library Miss Tutty
identified her highlights:
“I’ve really enjoyed the challenges, changes and
successes of the past 30 years in the library; one of the
biggest changes I’ve witnessed is the explosion of the
Internet and its power to connect families from across
the world. In the early stages it was very gratifying in
being able to assist elderly people to master email
thereby giving them the ability to keep in touch with
children and grandchildren across the world.
David explained that he came up with the Knowledge
Café format after recognising that members of his
London based knowledge management group were
getting more out of their post meeting get together in the
pub than they were from formal presentations (or “death
by power point” as he described them). Participants at
a knowledge café sit in small groups at a table discussing a single, often provocative question. After 15
minutes some of the participants move table and some
stay put. After three of these changes the entire group
sits in a big circle and the facilitator asks “now who
would like to start the conversation?” and a further ten
to fifteen minutes is spent talking as a large group.
Miss Tutty revealed that she wanted to be a librarian
ever since she left school and she has enjoyed every
moment of her time at the Masterton District Library.
Like any position it has had its ups and downs, but she
says there have been a lot more ups than downs.
“Being involved in the early discussion and planning to
set up an Aoteoroa People’s Network was a very steep
learning curve for me. However, the fact we can
harness that power to help library members, particularly
those residing in our rural areas, to get the best service
from their library has been very satisfying. It’s also
been good to see so many new faces taking advantage
of the free Internet access we’ve been able to offer
through the Aotearoa People’s Network.
The question for our Café was “why is professional networking important, and how can we do it better?” I didn’t
get a definitive answer to this question, but I did get a
strong impression of how a range of people think about
their professional networks, and why they value them.
Like many good conversations we strayed well away
from the central topic. Particularly rich veins included
the use of twitter in networking and why this is fantastic/
terrible, and how to foster more meaningful face to face
conversations at work.
“Throughout my time in Masterton I have also been
fortunate in being able to work with a stimulating group
of Library Managers and discuss library problems with
my colleagues throughout the country via the medium of
the Internet,” Miss Tutty said.
Having members of NZLLA and NZKM as well as Te
Upoko really enriched the conversation, and I enjoyed
the range of perspectives presented. One of ideas that
impressed me was that good professional networking
can be between professions as well as within a profession, and there is much to be gained from the cross
“I’ve had a jolly good innings but it is time to get out and
let a younger person take over.”

It was also intended to have a Fiction Award but there
were not enough works of Mäori fiction written and
published in 2008 or 2009 to support the inclusion of
such a category.
pollination of disciplines and our different world views and that Knowledge Cafes seem a perfect way to
facilitate that!
I’d like to give a big thank you to the people who helped
support the evening including Robyn Emett and Alistair
Jenkins from NZLLA, Julian Carver and Janita Stuart
from NZKM, Moira Fraser who got David Gurteen to
agree to the idea, and Chapman Tripp for providing a
stunning venue.
All books on Mäori topics were eligible, regardless of
the ethnicity of the author; books could be written in te
reo Mäori or English; and they must have been published in 2008 or 2009 (except for Book of the Decade).
The eligible entries were selected by Spencer Lilley and
Sheeanda Field and the winners were determined by
public vote via an online survey. The website received
thousands of visits and hundreds of votes were cast.
Here is a slideshow of us enjoying pre café networking:

Knowledge Cafés here http://www.gurteen.com
The awards were promoted via a press release sent to
media and a news story was placed on the Massey
News website and the Library’s news site. The press
release was also sent to email list serves and was published on blog services such as Scoop and Beatties
Book Blog.

The story captured the imagination of the Mäori media
with news of the awards featuring on radio and television. Media coverage included interviews on Radio
Waatea, Waatea News (National Radio), 1XX Radio
Whakatane, Te Ahi Kaa (National Radio) and Te Kaea.
The winners of the Awards were announced on 31 July.
Due to the overwhelming reception that the inauguration
of the awards received it was decided that an awards
ceremony to honour the achievement of the authors and
publishers be held at the Manawatu Campus on Mäori
Language Day, September 14. Five of the six winners
confirmed their attendance and invitations were sent to
the Principals’ of Māori Boarding Schools in the lower
North Island to bring senior students to the event, three
Mäori girls boarding schools were represented at the
event (Hukarere, St Joseph’s and Turakina). Inclusion
of Mäori boarding school pupils was seen as an
important kaupapa as it brought the writers and scholars
of the future together with some of our talented and
scholarly writers of today.

NGĀ KUPU ORA BOOK AWARDS
In recognition of Te Wiki o Te Reo Mäori 2009, the
Mäori Services staff at Massey University Library
decided to initiate awards for excellence in Mäori
publishing. The awards were named Ngä Kupu Ora
Mäori Book Awards. The name Ngä Kupu Ora is drawn
from the collection of Mäori resources held at the
Turitea Library on the Manawatu Campus. This
collection was established in 2005 as part of the
library’s commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi and the
Mäori @ Massey strategy.

Māori (catering to an adult-reader level)
There were three good reasons for creating the

Member libraries have agreed to only contribute
material that is available for loan. Serials and audiovisual material are excluded, as are some special collections. Selected records are contributed to a central
shared catalogue https://bonus.newcastle.edu.au/ at
the time of joining, and subsequent additional records
are added based on a profile. The shared collection
increases the range and depth of resources available. It
readily makes available additional copies of items in
demand as well as items not held in local collections.
Loan data for the shared system indicates about 40 –
50% of the loans are for material that is on loan or in a
short loan collection, at the requestor’s own library.

MASSEY UNIVERSITY JOINS BONUS
PLUS
Sharing content across New Zealand and Australia
In a New Zealand and international first Massey
University has joined a requesting system that enables
the sharing of resources across countries. Since July
2009 Massey University has been part of BONUS Plus
17
Reaction by clients has been positive and enthusiastic.
One postgraduate student commented that “it has
opened up a whole new world”. Staff members are also
delighted “I have just discovered the wonders of
BONUS+ … It’s a great addition to our library resource”
- was the response from one staff member.
YOUNG LIBRARY-GOERS INVITED
TO GET A WRIGGLE-ON
From October, North Shore Libraries will be among 50
libraries in the Auckland region offering a new
interactive programme – which will extend learning
opportunities for littlies beyond books.
Postgraduate students are the largest user group
accounting for 42% of requests from Massey University
to the other libraries. Staff members account for
another 36% and undergraduate students for 22%.
Libraries around Auckland are getting behind Wriggle &
Rhyme, Active Movement for Early Learning, a joint
initiative which allows parents and babies 0-2 years old
to learn and participate in active movement
experiences, which can contribute to early literacy
development.
John Redmayne also comments “BONUS Plus has
greatly enhanced the range of monographs available to
our users while also demonstrating as a reciprocal
system, the value and range of our collection to our
Australian colleagues.”
North Shore Children’s Librarian Belynda Smith says
the aim of Wriggle & Rhyme is to get families involved
who mightn’t otherwise visit the library.

“This is a really fun programme with movement and
music for parents and their young children, and it helps
break down barriers for some people who might not be
used to visiting us.
“We hope that once families feel comfortable coming
along to the library and they get a feel for all the things
we offer, library visits can become a more comfortable
and regular family activity,” she says.
Mrs Smith says the initiative complements North Shore
Libraries’ existing children’s programmes as another
way of creating strong community relationships.
THE LIBRARY WEEK
VIDEO COMPETITION
WINNERS
“Active Movement aligns with the library’s role in
promoting reading and learning opportunities for people
of all ages. It’s very exciting to be involved in this
initiative.”
How excited the boys were when
they opened the parcel of books
from LIANZA for winning the
Library Week Love Your Library
video competition.
Wriggle & Rhyme, formerly The Active Movement for
Babies programme, was piloted by Sport Auckland and
Auckland City libraries in 2008.
Who says boys don't read. These
guys do and you can share their
excitement by watching this clip I
have made.
The expansion of Wriggle & Rhyme is now being funded
by the four Auckland Regional Sports Trusts, six of the
Auckland local authorities and SPARC.

v=BkkU7sRwcx4
Allison Dobbie, Group Library Manager of Auckland City
Libraries, says the programme has attracted 28,000
participants to Auckland City’s libraries and increased
membership by children aged 0 – 2 by 51 percent. It is
hoped Wriggle & Rhyme will prove equally popular in
North Shore City.
I was impressed with the boys'
attitude to dividing the books.
They donated two to their
classroom library and gave one to
the library. They are quite the
celebrities in school at the
moment.
The thirty-minute weekly sessions will begin at North
Shore Libraries from October 12, with Active Movement
Activity Leaders sharing the role of leading the classes
with the librarians.
Many thanks and I hope I can
persuade them to enter again next
year.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION AT
TAKAPUNA LIBRARY
I always dreamt of finding fame one day, but I didn’t
imagine that it would be performing I’m a little teapot,
Leo the lion and other Rhymetime favourites to
pre-schoolers, or that it would be filmed by the BBC to
be shown in the UK.

Prizes sponsored by Penguin publishers included books
for for students and a Roald Dahl audio book for the
Waitotara School Library.
Last month Takapuna Library was visited by a BBC film
crew who were filming for their series “Wanted Down
Under”. English families who are keen to emigrate to
New Zealand are flown here to experience a week
trying out our lifestyle. The family we were filmed with
had a 2 year old and a 4 year old so they came to
experience our Library Rhymetime.
Pictured with the children is Waverley Library Plus
officer, Elsie Peacock who runs a monthly book club at
the school.
We usually have 100+ people attending our twice
weekly sessions but we scheduled an extra session to
accommodate the BBC and fortunately had a smaller
group which meant the camera man and sound person
could move around freely.
Roald Dahl Day celebrated in Patea
Inspiration abounded in South Taranaki this week as
words came to life in the form of rhyme at the Patea
LibraryPlus. To celebrate the birthday of much loved
author, Roald Dahl, members of the library Book Club
first read Dahl’s revolting rhymes for inspiration.
Despite suffering from Jet-lag our young English visitors
joined in and enjoyed Rhymetime and were pleased to
recognise some familiar tunes even though they were
on the other side of the world.
Then, with the help of the fabulous New Zealand Post
story starter spinners they went on to develop their own
rhyming treats. The best entries received Roald Dahl
Book bags and audio books sponsored by Penguin
Books.
If you happen to be in the UK in January watch out for
our appearance!

The best rhyme for the day was from Ryan with:
This was it - the moment I had looked forward to for an
entire year,
Was eating pear while slipping and sliding down the
track,
Throwing snowballs at the old shack;
Looking for insects in the creek, no bigger than a bird’s
beak.
As we sleep all so deep,
ROALD DAHL DAY IN SOUTH
TARANAKI
Roald Dahl Day in Waitotara
Every year children all over the world celebrate the
birthday of much loved children’s author Roald Dahl,
and this year students from Waitotara School in South
Taranaki joined the festivities.
The Kiwis awaken from their deep sleep.
Appropriately gathered in the school library, the children
– some with clothing worn backwards – battled against
each other (and some teachers and parents) to answer
questions about the author’s life and works.
Some of the questions were challenging but nevertheless the correct answers kept being fired back including
the naming of Roald Dahl’s two favourite sweets – sherbet suckers and liquorice bootlaces.
One young reader surprised everyone when asked the
name of Roald Dahl’s first published book – it was of
course The Gremlins.

Age groupings place books for ‘Under 5s’, ‘5-7yrs’,
‘8-12yrs’ and ’13 and over’. The Book Type section
mirrors the sections in our review publications, providing
options of ‘Picture Book’, ‘Junior Fiction’, ‘Intermediate
Fiction’, ‘Teen Fiction’, ‘Poetry’, and ‘Non-fiction’.
JEAN WRIGHT AWARD 2010
Miss Jean Wright, a former Librarian in Charge of the
Country Library Service Regional Office in Christchurch,
died on 13 January 1999, leaving part of her estate to
be established as a trust fund “for the furthering of the
library education and training of librarians of those
public libraries serving communities in New Zealand
with populations of not more than 15,000 persons each
as at the date of the latest census, as updated from time
to time, and which libraries are supported financially by
the local authority”.
By searching alphabetically, you can see whether Best
and Bravest is about soldiers or prohibitionists; whether
Freaky Fish is fiction or non-fiction; and whether
Highway Robbery is well suited to struggling readers.
These reviews were written with teachers and librarians
in mind, and you will find comments on everything from
whether the cover suits the book to whether you should
recommend this as a read-aloud to your storytellers or
teachers.
This year the National Library intends to make a grant
or grants from the fund to a total value of up to $10,000
and persons eligible for training who meet the above
criteria are encouraged to apply. The closing date for
applications is 13 November 2009.
If you are a school or library member of the Book
Council, you can read the latest reviews in our quarterly
e-publication, The School Library, sent directly to your
inbox. You will also receive our quarterly magazine,
Booknotes, which brings you lively and relevant articles
about the world of books in New Zealand, written by
authors, top journalists, industry experts, and publishers.
A copy of the Terms of Reference and application forms
can be requested from Marilyn Baker, Executive
Support Team, National Library of New Zealand, PO
Box 1467, Wellington; phone 04 474-3010; or requested
by email: [email protected]
If you want to take a closer look at these publications,
you can find both Booknotes and The School Library in
digital form on our website.
Please note that applications must be accompanied by
a statement from a referee confirming the value of the
proposal in terms of the education and training requirements of the applicant, and their ability to complete the
course or activity and apply the knowledge and skills
gained. The referee should be a person employed in a
position of responsibility in a public library, or a person
engaged in the education and training of librarians. All
proposals relating to programmes undertaken at the
work place or in work time must be supported by a
statement from the applicant’s employer.
These publications are just one aspect of our work to
get more new Zealanders reading more – the essential
aim we share with all libraries and librarians.

THAT BOOK RINGS A BELL…
Librarians are a fount of book knowledge for those in
need of a good read, but nobody can be expected to
know everything about every book published for
children, what’s good and what’s not, and which books
are good for which age groups. Next time you are asked
for a recommendation, the New Zealand Book Council’s
new children’s book review database might be able to
help.
FILM-MAKER & ART HISTORIAN WIN
COUNTRY’S RICHEST NON-FICTION
PRIZES
Two cultural trailblazers have been awarded one of the
country’s richest non-fiction literary prizes in the
toughest competition since the inauguration of the
Copyright Licensing Awards eight years ago.
Our new website features a searchable archive of New
Zealand books for children and young adults, sorted by
age group, book type, and alphabetically by title.
Critically acclaimed novelist, essayist and
Peter Wells MNZM was tonight awarded
$35,000 CLL Awards to write The Hungry
Enquiring Mind, a book of biographical
William Colenso.
With over 800 books reviewed, and counting, we
believe this to be one of the most comprehensive review
sites for New Zealand children’s literature. At your
fingertips is every book review which has appeared in
our member publications Booknotes and The School
Library since we began reviewing children’s books in
2000.

essays on
CLL Writers’ Awards judges’ convenor, Jenny Jones
says Wells’ project is a daring re-examination of William
Colenso’s life.
‘The selection panel believed not many writers would

attempt an almost poetic
portrayal of the emotional
man at the foundation of this
country’s colonial history.
shortlisted gave every indication of producing fine books
on topics of national significance. Applicants should be
encouraged to apply again if they were not successful
this year.’
‘Far from a conventional
biography, this book will be
an essay series that
examines Colenso as an
intellectual maverick who,
among other things, was
opposed to the signing of
the Treaty of Waitangi.’
Earlier this year, Jill Trevelyan’s biography, Rita Angus:
An Artist’s Life, for which she won a CLL Award, took
the 2009 Montana Medal for Non-Fiction. Other CLL
Award winning books include Lloyd Spencer Davis’
Looking For Darwin and Stevan Eldred-Griggs’ Diggers
Hatters and Whores. A Plume of Bees: A Literary
Biography of CK Stead by Judith Dell Panny and Martin
Edmond’s Zone of the Marvellous were both published
this month and several other CLL award winning books
are due for publication in 2010-2011.
The award confirms Wells
as an artist committed to
change in New Zealand society, be it through documentaries, archiving at-risk
architecture (Napier's Art Deco or Auckland's Civic
Theatre), producing one of the earliest pieces of fiction
in which a gay author published under his own name, or
writing and co-directing dramas like 'A Death in the
Family' which was produced at the height of the
HIV-Aids crisis and looked at the ways stigma works in
families and society.
Established in 2002, the CLL Writers’ Awards are
financed from copyright licensing revenue received by
Copyright Licensing Limited (CLL) on behalf of authors
and publishers.
CLL/NZSA Research Grants – winners
For the second year, CLL in association with the New
Zealand Society of Authors (NZSA) presented two
research grants for fiction or non-fiction.
Writer and curator
Damian
Skinner
received the second
$35,000 CLL Award for
his project, The Hands
of
the
Ancestors:
Customary
Māori
Carvers
in
the
Twentieth Century.
Jocelyn Robson was awarded a grant for her proposed
biography of Grace Oakeshott, an English woman who
left a successful career in London as a social and
educational reformer and in 1907 faked her own death
and under an assumed name, travelled to New Zealand
with her lover.
‘This award enables me to continue my research into
Grace Oakeshott’s social and community activities in
her adopted country,’ says Ms Robson.
Skinner, a Pakeha
born in Central Otago,
now lives with a Māori
family in Gisborne. He
has been researching and writing about customary
Māori art since the early 1990s. His publications include
his 2006 Ph.D entitled Another Modernism: Māoritanga
and Māori Modernism in the 20th Century and works
Ihenga: Te Haerenga Hou – The Evolution of Māori Art
in the 20th Century (2007) and Don Binney: NgāManu,
NgāMotu/Birds, Islands (2003).
The second research grant was awarded to
Dunedin-based filmmaker Bill Morris for his proposed
story of New Zealand’s changing relationship with
whales. Moving from Antarctica to Tonga, Whaling
Nation will be part history and part travelogue.
Both grants are valued at $3,500.

Jenny Jones says the renaissance of Māori carving in
the 20th Century is usually credited to Apirana Ngata’s
Rotorua School of Māori Arts and Crafts. Damian
Skinner proposes a more subtle and varied explanation
of this, one of the great New Zealand stories of our time.
BIOGRAPHY OF INFLUENTIAL
WRITER AND ACTIVIST PUBLISHED
The life story of a woman who helped shape New
Zealand history but went largely unrecognised during
her lifetime has been published by Canterbury University Press.
‘The rescue of Māori carving by the few is a huge part
of the Māori renaissance. Damian Skinner promises a
book covering new and exciting dimensions to that
story.’
Looking for Answers: A life of Elsie Locke is a compelling biography of a writer and activist who campaigned
for birth control, women’s rights, nuclear disarmament,
social justice and the environment long before such
causes were popular.
The Awards were presented at a ceremony at The
Floating Pavilion, Auckland’s Viaduct on Thursday 24th
September.
Jones commented that the standard of entries this year
was so high that the judging panel had difficulty getting
the numbers down to a manageable shortlist and then
again in selecting just two winners.
She wrote almost 40 books, including historical novels
for children and social histories of New Zealand, plus
numerous articles and School Journal stories. She won
many awards for her writing over the years and in 1987
the University of Canterbury awarded Locke an Honor-

Locke’s family and friends. She has also incorporated

Security Intelligence Service “at the eleventh hour”.
ary Doctorate of Literature for her work in children’s
literature and history.
Biographer Maureen Birchfield said she was invited to
write the book by the Locke family because of the family
connection through her parents, Connie and Albert
Birchfield, who were friends and fellow members of the
Communist Party from the 1930s to mid-1950s. She
said she accepted because of her “conviction that this
was a very important life story that needed to be
written”.
Looking for Answers: A Life of Elsie Locke was
launched on 18 September at a function hosted by
Elsie’s son, Green Party MP Keith Locke, at the Grand
Hall at Parliament. Associate Professor of History,
Charlotte Macdonald from Victoria University of Wellington, a specialist in New Zealand and women’s history,
launched the book. The book will also be launched in
Christchurch on 7 October at the Great Hall of the Arts
Centre by Dr Len Richardson and in Auckland on 30
October at the Women’s Bookshop in Ponsonby.
“I thought Elsie was a pretty impressive person before I
began discovering more about her through my research.
Then the more I discovered the more admiring of her I
became.”
The book has been published with the support of
Creative New Zealand and the New Zealand History
Research Trust Fund of the Ministry for Culture and
Heritage.
Ms Birchfield said had Locke been alive to see the
biography, she probably would have been embarrassed
by it, being a private and modest person. It reveals the
central role Locke played in the organisations she was
involved in.
Looking for Answers: A Life of Elsie Locke, by Maureen
Birchfield, published by Canterbury University Press,
September 2009, RRP NZ$69.95, Cased & jacketed,
560 pp, 1.75kg, 200 x 210mm, full colour, ISBN 978-1877257-80-3.
“She always downplayed her involvement and gave
centre stage to other people rather than herself. She
liked to be called ‘ordinary’ but she really was extraordinary and a pioneer in many ways.”
Maureen Birchfield
Ms Birchfield said because Locke was so
multi-dimensional in her interests her story would
appeal to a wide audience.

Note from the Editor
LIANZA awards the Elsie Locke Award for a work that is
considered to be a distinguished contribution to
non-fiction for young people. The Elsie Locke Award is
one of 4 awards given annually as part of the LIANZA
Children’s Book Awards.
She said readers of Looking for Answers would learn
about a “low profile but very important New Zealander
and through her about the social and political scene in
New Zealand from the 1930s Depression to the 21st
century”.
“It is also an inspiring story of how an ‘ordinary’ working
class woman can achieve so much at grass-roots level.”
Ms Birchfield spent five years researching and writing
the book incorporating much of Locke’s unfinished
memoir. She also drew on primary sources such as
minutes of Communist Party meetings, personal letters,
archives of organisations and movements, articles in
