The Libraries Research Group invited the manager, Christine Bolton, and staff of Wagga Wagga City Library over to the group’s meeting on 1 May, which was held on the Wagga campus as well as online for those members not present in Wagga. Christine and her colleagues provided an overview of the latest developments in the Library’s services and discussed with the group various possibilities for further research collaboration. Highlights of the meeting included a guided tour of one of the librarians’ agile library vans, and a chance to pat one of the Library’s robotic cats!
The LRG has grown to 30 members strong, researching a wide range of topics relating to all kinds of libraries. They hail from the CSU Schools of Information and Communication Studies, Social Work and Arts, Indigenous Australian Studies, Theology, and Agricultural, Environmental and Veterinary Sciences. Five of its members are currently working on four different interdisciplinary projects funded by the Australian Research Council.
