I am sure you join me in <BR>>congratulating the University of Kentucky and the conference <BR>>organising teams on an excellent job well done.<BR>><BR>>This first message from me as IAALD President contains some news and <BR>>updates on our Association activities and plans. I and the other <BR>>Executive Committee members are honoured to be serving IAALD for the
<BR>>coming 5 years and we look forward to meeting and working with you.<BR>><BR>>Toni Greider and Margot Bellamy have the transition of the <BR>>secretary/treasurer role from the United Kingdom to the United <BR>>States well in hand and I am glad to be able to point you to our new <BR>>IAALD address: IAALD, P.O. Box 63, Lexington, KY 40588-0063, USA.<BR>><BR>>Can you please update any records or references you may have and <BR>>expect to receive membership communications from Toni in the future. <BR>>I am sure that Margot is happy to hear from IAALD members - but <BR>>please direct all membership communications to Toni <BR>>(toni.greider@iaald.org).<BR>><BR>>Debbie Currie - editor of the IAALD Quarterly Bulletin - says that <BR>>she has received several papers from the conference and she is <BR>>looking forward to getting more. If you have
a paper that was <BR>>presented at the conference, please do not hesitate to contact <BR>>Debbie at her IAALD address (debbie.currie@iaald.org).<BR>><BR>>Regarding the conference sessions, the team in Kentucky plans to <BR>>make the presentation and poster abstracts as well as the various <BR>>powerpoint files available online - through the current conference <BR>>web page or on the IAALD web site itself. We'll let you know when <BR>>these are available (and where).<BR>><BR>>Your Executive Committee plans to meet again on October this year to <BR>>decide strategic directions for the coming 5 years and to examine <BR>>proposals and activities for IAALD to undertake. I hope that we can <BR>>use this list serve as a forum to discuss proposals in advance of <BR>>the Committee meetings in October. I'll contact you again on this in
<BR>>August.<BR>><BR>>Since the Lexington meeting, preparatory work has started on <BR>>regional IAALD meetings in Africa and Europe - probably in early and <BR>>late 2006 respectively. Contact Dorothy Mukhebi <BR>>(dorothy.mukhebi@iaald.org) or Michal Demes (michal.demes@iaald.org) <BR>>if you are interested to know more or wish to be involved. We will <BR>>very soon also send out a formal call for proposals from IAALD <BR>>members and partners to host the 2010 World Congress.<BR>><BR>>During and since the Global Congress, a lot of ideas and issues for <BR>>IAALD have bubbled up and we on the Executive Committee have much to <BR>>work on (and with). If you have an idea or a suggestion, please do <BR>>contact me or any other of the members. Our contacts details are <BR>>listed at http://www.iaald.org/officers.html<BR>><BR>>In the
meantime, I am particularly interested to hear from anyone <BR>>who has some experience or ideas to share or some time to help with <BR>>any of the following:<BR>><BR>>- an IAALD 'institutional repository'. Through our congresses etc, <BR>>we generate a large number of presentations and papers that are <BR>>currently very hard to access. I wonder if these could usefully be <BR>>collected using some kind of eprints or dspace like facility. Should <BR>>we try to set up an open access repository for IAALD? If so, do you <BR>>have suggestions and experiences that could be followed or adapted <BR>>for IAALD?<BR>><BR>>- an IAALD 'photo archive'. I noticed in Lexington a vast number of <BR>>digital photographs being taken - and I wonder if we have a clever <BR>>way to share them. Could we think of using one of the shared <BR>>platforms/tools (eg
http://www.flickr.com) so that members can pool <BR>>and share photos from IAALD events? I am sure it would be a great <BR>>way to promote communication among us. Do you have any experiences <BR>>with such tools that we could benefit from? Are there a couple of <BR>>volunteers who might like to explore something like this for IAALD?<BR>><BR>>- an IAALD 'news blog'. We are experimenting with a simple IAALD <BR>>blog as a way to inform members and the wider community and to help <BR>>manage content for our web site and Quarterly Bulletin. The <BR>>prototype is at http://www.iaald.blogspot.com/. Are you interested <BR>>to be part of a small groups of members willing to work as <BR>>"blog-editors" to help maintain (and<BR>>expand) this for the Association? We also need people who might want <BR>>to work more with the design to make it attractive and
readable.<BR>><BR>>All of these form part of our ongoing and evolving communication <BR>>strategy that still needs to be finally drafted and agreed. We need <BR>>your ideas and suggestions to help make sure what we do is relevant <BR>>and can be sustained.<BR>><BR>>Finally, of course, I hope that you will continue to advertise IAALD <BR>>to your colleagues and friends and help make IAALD a valuable and <BR>>valued tool to advance each of our personal and organizational <BR>>goals.<BR>><BR>>With my best regards<BR>><BR>>Peter<BR>><BR>>--------<BR>><BR>>Peter Ballantyne<BR>>President of the International Association of Agricultural <BR>>Information Specialists (IAALD)<BR>> addr - P.O.
