In August I was given a mandate by the

LIANZA Council and Ngā Kaiwhakahau to

represent the NZ library and information

profession at the 76th IFLA Conference in

Gothenburg, Sweden. I was asked specifically

to lobby IFLA sections and committees to get

indigenous knowledge paradigms accepted as

part of the core elements for library/

information management education. Until

now, Aotearoa New Zealand is the only

country to recognise indigenous knowledge in

this way through BoK 11 of our professional

registration scheme.

For those that are unfamiliar

with the structure the easiest

way to describe it is that it is

the library world equivalent of

the United Nations Assembly. It

has a wide range of committees, caucuses,

sections, chapters and special interest groups

representing every library sector imaginable.

There were 3300 librarians from every corner

of the planet, with large numbers from Latin

America, Caribbean, Africa, Europe and North

America. From New Zealand we had a humble

delegation of nine.

Prior to the conference I had been advised

that the main committee I had to influence

was the Education and Training Section. This

committee had been the original authors of

the Guidelines for Professional Library/

Information Educational Programs, from

which LIANZA had sourced the Body of

Knowledge.

This meeting was held on 10 August and

Penny Carnaby and I attended as observers.

The week before the conference I had sent

Anna‐Maria Tammaro, the Committee Chair,

an email requesting an opportunity to speak

to our proposal at the meeting. As a result we

were allocated ten minutes and Penny and I

jointly presented our proposal. We had strong

support in the meeting from Dr Kerry Smith

from Curtin University who indicated that

indigenous knowledge paradigms was

becoming increasingly of greater importance

in Australia. We were also fortunate that

Patrice Landry, the Chair of the Professional

Division had made himself

available to attend the

meeting and he indicated

to the committee that the

Professional standing

committee had discussed

LIANZA’s proposal and believed that it was

important. Patrice also indicated that the

Professional division was available to assist

the Education & Training section in moving

the proposal forward, including financial

support whenever necessary.

Subsequently a motion was passed supporting

the proposal in principle. However, as it

involves change to a core document it was

stressed that the section was obliged to

consult with other sections, committees and

caucuses before it could be formally adopted.

This process is likely to take up to a year and it

was mentioned that the section might take

the opportunity to change other parts of the

document and make additional changes to the

“3300 librarians from every corner of the planet were there”

core elements at the same time.

I was also able to make a presentation at the

meeting of the Indigenous Matters on our

Professional Registration Scheme and the

adoption of Mātauranga Māori as BoK 11. The

presentation was approximately fifteen

minutes long plus another five minutes for

questions. The briefing papers were also

made available to those at the meeting. One

of the other benefits of presenting at this

meeting was that there were members of

other IFLA committees present, so this

hopefully not only indicates that they have an

interest in indigenous issues but that they will

speak positively at their own meetings when

the indigenous knowledge item is discussed.

I also had the opportunity to meet a wide

range of IFLA officers, members and staff

during the week and I took the opportunity to

inform them of what we in New Zealand are

doing with professional registration and

Mātauranga Māori. Although some were not

as convinced as others, at least they gave me a

fair hearing.

was also able to draw attention to our

proposal when I made a joint presentation

with Loriene Roy on Reading, literacy and

indigenous youth and on the final day when I

was asked to be the facilitator for the

afternoon session.

In conclusion, it seems that there is

international interest in what we are doing in

New Zealand, as always the Māori dimension

is the point of difference. Although we

ourselves would think that we have a lot of

room for improvement, indigenous peoples

and enlightened individuals in libraries view us

as leaders and we have a responsibility not

only to our own whānau, hapū and iwi but to

these other indigenous peoples to keep

advocating on indigenous issues in libraries.

Library Services to Multicultural Populations Section Satellite Event – Copenhagen, 16‐18 August

I took the opportunity to attend this satellite

event in Copenhagen after the main IFLA

conference. The theme of the satellite event

was “libraries in a multicultural society,

possibilities for the future” and was attended

by 87 delegates from 25 countries, mostly

from Europe. Although I did not have a

chance to make a presentation on BoK eleven,

I managed some informal networking with

officers and members of the section and I

made copies of the briefing papers available. I

pono (non‐fiction) went

to the Ngā Rākau series.

These books were

written by Keri

Pewhairangi, illustrated

by Waitoa Baker and

published by Huia. We

were especially impressed with the way

tikanga Māori, history and culture

were woven throughout the text.

This series needs to be published in

English as this type of information is

not available in print for non‐Māori

speakers of this age group.

Te Tohu Pounamu, donated by

short listed books, that would not

otherwise be recognised in the

other award categories. This year it

was awarded to the graphic novel Hautipua

researcher Julian Arahanga and illustrator

Andrew Burdan. This was indeed a

collaboration of the researcher, illustrator and

writer in te reo Māori to bring to light this

This judging panel for Te Kura Pounamu

section for te reo Māori books comprised

Margaret Ngaropo from Manukau Public

Libraries, Haromi Williams CEO of Tuhoe

Education Authority and myself. Once again

we faced the challenge of judging fiction

against non‐fiction across all year levels. From

the 28 titles, 5 titles were short listed; that

included two non fiction series and, for the

first time, a graphic novel.

The winning publication was the

novel Hewa, written by Darryn

Joseph and published by Pearsons.

Hewa has all the elements of a

great fantasy story set in te ao

Māori. The story immediately

hooks the reader in, with a baby

born of the gods, falling from the

sky, through a church stained glass

window onto an altar.

There are only a handful of books

in the fantasy genre in te reo Māori for this

age group, so this book helps to fill this gap.

The Tribal College Librarians Professional

Development Institute (TCLI) was initiated in

1990 where the then Head of (MSU) Libraries

Information Services, Kathy Jays and reference

librarian, Kay Carey organised and conducted

workshops for librarians from the seven

Montana tribal colleges. It was later expanded

to the region in 1992 and, from 1994 to 1996

grew to include all American Indian Higher

Education Consortium members and affiliates.

This year, TCLI at the suggestion of former

American Library Association (ALA) President,

Loriene Roy invited a member of Te Rōpū

Whakahau to attend; fortune favoured my

application. As many of us know, sometimes

you gain just as much information from a

conference outside of the sessions as you do

in the sessions.

While in Montana, I facilitated a workshop on

Barriers Indigenous People Face in Academic

Libraries. I initially had thoughts of testing my

own observations on the other attendees,

however what I had not taken into account

was the Tribal Colleges themselves.

Tribal colleges are usually found close to or

within the boundaries of the Reservation and,

as a result, many Native Americans will attend

these institutes instead of mainstream ones.

Therefore the majority of the attendees had

quite different perceptions and experiences to

my own and other Māori who have, until fairly

recently had no alternative but to attend

mainstream institutions in order to gain

Tribal College Librarians Professional Development Institute. That’s me in the blue.

Stark contrast in landscapes: Battlefield of Little Bighorn (above), Pictograph Cave State Park (below)

The Pictographs were incredible though they have faded over time due to light

9

tertiary level qualifications. Although the

Institute is tailored towards Tribal College

Librarians, it was a rewarding and worthwhile

experience which I would happily repeat. All

of the sessions were informative

and interesting. The one that

had the most impact on me was

the session on Treaty Research.

There are over 250 Native

American tribes (including

Canada), who have a treaty. My

one and only reference point for

treaty is of course Te Tiriti o

Waitangi and The Treaty of

Waitangi. I asked the facilitator

of the workshop if any of those

treaties was written in the language of the

indigenous people and the answer shocked

me, as all of the treaties were only written in

the language of the foreign power.

I made a great many connections with the

other delegates and am sure I will find these

contacts both professionally and personally

invaluable. During my time in Montana I also

had the opportunity to visit Yellowstone

National Park, where many of the vistas that I

observed reminded me of Aotearoa only, on a

much larger scale (see p. 16 & 24).

I also went on a field trip to Little Big Horn

College Library and Archives Center, located at

Crow Agency, the capital of the Crow Nation in

Billings, Montana.

The Crow Agency is close to the location of the

Battlefield of Little Big Horn (Custers last

stand). We were given a commentary of the

places and people involved in the battle by

Tim Bernardis, Manager of the Library and

Archive Center. After our visit to the Little

Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument

we made our way to the pictographs at

Pictograph Cave State Park. The stark contrast

between the landscapes of

these two sites was amazing.

A deep debt of gratitude must go to the organising committee of TCLI, especially Mary Anne Hansen for hosting me while I attended the Institute.

Special thanks to Loriene Roy for taking me under her wing as I was originally to be part of the speakers in her group.

For the support and trust of Ngā Kaiwhakahau who had the difficult task of choosing the delegate which has not escaped me, and my gratitude to them is boundless.

Rua Mahara Archives

Out and About with Community Archives

I recently had the privilege of visiting the

Society of Mary Marist Archives which are

looked after by Brother Gerard Hogg (Chief

Archivist) and Ken Scadden (Archival

Manager).

The Marist archives

hold a wide range of

archival media

including books, files,

photographs, maps,

In order to develop an archival training

strategy which is of use to both Māori and

tauiwi communities, I am consulting with

relevant stakeholders who are currently

involved in taking care of archives. An

Introduction to Archives course

was delivered to some organisations including

Te Runanga o Te Rarawa and Whanganui

Museum in 2009‐2010.

This course is suitable for people working in

Archives, museums, libraries, community,

Māori and iwi groups. (It is not suitable for

government agencies as the course does not

cover Public Records Act 2005 requirements).

It is anticipated that the next step after the

Introduction course may be a weekend

workshop which would provide a more

comprehensive look at various components of

archival management. The topics may include

arrangement and description, preservation

and digitisation.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any

enquiries about the management or care of

archival material within your organisation: or

to indicate your interest in any archival

training.

Brother Gerard Hogg, Chief Archivist

My name is Polly

Martin and I am the

new Senior Advisor for

the Community

Archives Team here at

Archives New Zealand.

I have a background in community liaison and

relationships, social work and teaching which I

have found to be extremely helpful in the role

of Senior Advisor for the team.

My role differs from the community archivist’s

job vacated by Kylie Ngaropo earlier this year,

in that I will still focus on services to the

community, but where services to Māori are

concerned I will be working closely with our

Senior Adviser Iwi Development, Julie Black.

Many records and memories of long‐term

historic value to New Zealanders are held

within the wider community. These include

tāonga held by iwi Māori, and documents and

photograhs in community archives and other

institutions such as galleries, historical

societies, and educational, religious and

voluntary organisations. Archives New Zealand

seeks to support the management and

safekeeping of those archival records and

tāonga by providing information and training

to the communities in which they are held.

Archival material needs to be managed quite

differently to material normally held in a

library or museum, but communities are often

unaware of this and may unwittingly make

decisions which can lead to real problems for

future access.

plans and architectural drawings, sound recordings (including reel to reel tapes and oral history tapes),

glass lantern slides, videos, and personal papers of members of the Marist Order as well as a large

number of objects. All of these relate to the history of the Catholic Church in New Zealand and the

Society of Mary in New Zealand and Oceania.

Ken said people very rarely research religious matters, but rather information

about people and events in history which may have included a church

connection. This is pertinent, particularly for Māori in the North whose current

and past connections with the Marist Order in Te Tai Tokerau are quite strong.

It was fascinating also to learn that a number of the catholic missionaries in the

North were fluent in French and Māori but not necessarily English. They would write home to their

families in France describing their experiences and Ken showed me a book called Lettres recues

d'Oceanie 1836 ‐ 1854 or in English Letters Received From Oceania (Edited by Father Charles Girard SM).

Professor Hugh Laracy, Professor of History at Auckland University has stated that these letters are the

most important contribution to Pacific History since Professor J.C. Beaglehole edited the Journals of

Captain James Cook. Unfortunately, I can’t read French so I await the English translation with a great

deal of interest!

The Community Archive is a hub for New

easy to use mini archive management system

supported by Archives New Zealand.

Previously known as the National Register of

Archives and Manuscripts (NRAM), The

Community Archive has been developed to

provide many new features requested by

contributors.

One of those functions to secure access has

been developed as a result of feedback from

our Māori stakeholders. Whānau, hapū and

iwi are able to upload important information

such as whakapapa or digital images to the

website and are then able to control who

accesses that information.

Metadata about the collection will display to

everyone, along with an option to request

access from the contributing whānau hapū or

iwi. Contributors have complete control over

who is granted access via new administration

options that allow them to accept or decline

access requests and to turn‐off access at any

time. Contributors are encouraged to develop

policies to guide their decision‐making process

on granting access.

It is, without a doubt, an exciting time for

Māori librarianship and the Māori community

as yet another milestone has been reached in

the most recent stage of Ngā Ūpoko

and Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa/National

Library of New Zealand (NLNZ), a new position

of Kaitiaki o Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku (Kaitiaki) /

MSH Librarian has been created to research

and update new terms and investigate

pressing issues affecting further development

of Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku / MSH thesaurus for

the next 12 months.

In particular, the Kaitiaki / MSH Librarian will

work on ensuring more kaupapa (headings)

will be created, as well as clear the kaupapa

request list, which currently holds over 204

kaupapa, (and counting), and address 44

outstanding issues and problems with

kaupapa already in, or, to be added to, Ngā

completes will be presented and tabled at the

Te Rōpū o Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku (Te Rōpū) /

new kaupapa. After each hui, the Kaitiaki will

be involved in adding the new agreed kaupapa

to Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku and will also ensure

corrections are made to existing kaupapa as

approved by Te Rōpū. Three Te Rōpū hui are

held each calendar year, and the last one for

2010 is to be held at the end of September.

Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku was launched in June

at Te Rōpū hui where members deliberate

over potential kaupapa to be added to Ngā

Ūpoko Tukutuku. If topics are accompanied

with a kaupapa suggestion in te reo, Te Rōpū

ensures that the likely kaupapa is consistent

with what is commonly used and/or spoken

around Aotearoa. Reo‐ā‐iwi, or dialectal

terms, are included in Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku,

and attached to the record for the preferred

kaupapa.

If requests are only in English, it is the job of

Te Rōpū to select an appropriate kaupapa.

Māori dictionaries are the primary sources,

from Williams to Ryan, to Ngata to He Pātaka

Kupu as well as lists of specific topics

composed by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori,

Learning Media and many other authorities. If

further research is needed, te reo readers (at

all levels) are often consulted. Failing that,

members of Te Rōpū make contact with te reo

and library experts within their own networks

for their advice.

International standard conventions must be

adhered to when a thesaurus is created and

maintained so, when a kaupapa is selected Te

Rōpū decide where this kaupapa should sit in

Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku. This may mean that

more kaupapa need to be composed, or

rather, a preceding whakapapa needs to be

established for that particular kaupapa so that

it fits into Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku, or, ‘takes its

place within the whānau’. Careful

consideration, meticulous research and time

are integral to the development of Ngā Ūpoko

Tukutuku.

Te mana o Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku: permeating

the Māori language and culture

As the language evolves, it expands in a way

that ensures the survival of its culture. The

adaptability of Māori has meant that our way

of living, our knowledge systems and our

language will never cease to exist. The

establishment of a list of MSH proves we are

able to correspond with Western technology

and ideology. As the language grows, the

value of MSH increases with the development

of Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku. One experience I had

while doing a reference enquiry was when a

patron requested items about traditional

Māori medicines and practices. When she

performed a keyword search on her own of

“Māori” and “medicine” she found over 100

records that were, mostly, of no help to her.

But once we searched under the kaupapa

“rongoā”, we narrowed her search down to 25

records, and she managed to find what she

was after.

It is an exciting time for Māori librarianship,

and being able to use te reo Māori to enable

patrons to retrieve information is rewarding.

When used correctly, MSH serve their

purpose; it acts as a waka, ferrying inquisitive

minds from one point of knowledge and

Mātauranga o Aotearoa/National Library of

New Zealand. I’m fairly new to the ‘game’ but I

have worked in libraries for almost three years

‐ Otago University Library, AUT (Lending

Services) and National Library of New Zealand

(Collection Description). Prior to that, I

graduated from Otago University with a

Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Māori Studies. I am

a member of Te Rōpū o Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku,

the MSH project team.

I’m really excited about the work I’ll be doing

for MSH over the next 12 months. This job

combines two areas where I excel – Māori

research and cataloguing. The challenge lies in

getting through all of the headings requests

that have accumulated since August 2007,

and, fixing the outstanding problems with Ngā

Ūpoko Tukutuku thesaurus while managing to

work under two distinctly different world‐

views – Te Ao Whakawhata (Cataloguing) and

Te Ao Māori. The success of the pilot year

depends on the quality of work I deliver and I

am committed to ensuring that the job

continues into the future.

If you have any suggestions for new kaupapa/headings or

feedback, please email [email protected] or contact me

directly on (04) 474 3047 or [email protected] . I

am also on the lookout for all kupu hou, especially if they are

topical, and if you happen to come across any please do not

hesitate to contact me. I would really appreciate it.

How can you justify the work of Te Rōpū

Whakahau? It has been a busy yet fulfilling

couple of months. The new members of Ngā

Kaiwhakahau were apprehensive, being

thrown in the deep end and coming to grips

with the workload and its impact on whānau,

work and life balance. The “newbies” provide

a skill set and energy that will support the

direction of Te Rōpū Whakahau and enhance

the guidelines of Ngā Kaiwhakahau.

Priorities have been designated to Ngā

Kaiwhakahau in implementing the strategic

plan. Te Rōpū Whakahau members will have

the opportunity to play a major role in its

direction. Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi,

erangi he toa takimano.

Overarching statements of the strategic plan

are:

Ko te kai ā te rangatira, he kōrero

Ko te tohu ō te rangatira, he manaaki

Ko te mahi ā te rangatira, ka whakatiratira

Tirohanga‐ā‐Kaimai has completed the pilot

training programme for the Body of

Knowledge (BOK) 11. There is a continuous

barrage of questions from libraries and

information management organisations as to

when this will be ready for the rest of the

country. It is hoped there will be one session

before the end of the year.

After only a few short months, I take my hat

off to those before me who have carried the

workload. Discussions on the listserv have

highlighted the use of language and content in

emails. Not forgetting that you are also able

to contact Ngā Kaiwhakahau on

[email protected]. We are here to

support our members and vice versa.

There are two important hui during 2011. The

International Indigenous Librarians Forum in

Karasjok, Norway and our own hui‐ā‐tau in the

Start preparing your management and your

you are successful in your tono.

South Island Quarterly Hui nā Carol Brandenburg The first of our quarterly South Island meetings was held Thursday 12 August at Lincoln University

Library. The meeting was an opportunity to:

• view Lincoln's Ngā Kete e Toru collection

• learn of the outcomes of the Strategic Planning done by Ngā Kaiwhakahau

• talk about what we can do for the 2010 LIANZA Conference

• whakawhanaungatanga/mihi with colleagues

Having Lorraine at the meeting was great, and her comments on the "groundswell" of support from

local members and associate members for the LIANZA Conference Bicultural Team and Te Rōpū

Whakahau stand was heartening. For those looking forward to the Te Rōpū Whakahau social event,

Lorraine suspects this might happen on the Sunday night. More information will be put up on the

ListServ, after early bird registrations have closed.

“Toi te kupu, Toi te mana, Toi te whenua”

Translated, by the Reverend Kīngi Ihaka, as the

permanence of language, prestige and land,

this whakataukī was coined by the Whanganui

chief, Tinirau. The first line provides both the title

and the inspiration for the current exhibition in the

Reed Gallery at Dunedin City Library: Toi te Kupu:

Te Reo Māori in Print. In this exhibition we use

examples, both old and new, from our Heritage

Collections to illustrate the journey of te reo Māori

over the past 200 years. This is a story not of one

single journey, but of a number of waka heading in

the same general direction, navigating slightly

different paths along the way.

Toi te Kupu: Te Reo Māori in Print, opened to the

public on Friday 23 July, and is the first exhibition

of its kind at the Dunedin City Library. Curated

Putiki CyberWhare at the Marae in

Whanganui The Putiki Marae at the mouth of the almighty

Whanganui Awa, with the aid and support of

their partners Aotearoa Peoples Network

Kaharoa (APNK) opened the CyberWhare in

March 2010. The

equipment includes

3 APNK desktop

setups, 1 printer

and 1 scanner

copier. This whole

concept is being

delivered in a prefab building that resides

close to the dining hall and was once used for

extra sleeping space and training.

The whānau of the marae and Whanganui

community have embraced this service and

are turning up in droves to learn more about

the use of computers. Judd Bailey is the

“rock” aka whānau member who is the co‐

ordinator with credentials in graphic design

and computer knowledge. He has linked the

CyberWhare with the local ‘Computers in

Homes’ scheme and 20 whānau members

have graduated from the programme. Also

two unemployed graduates started Graphic

design school Year 1 in July this year.

Pūtiki Marae have also established a

CyberWhare rōpū to help with the

management and operational running of this

concept. They have implemented opening

hours, signs and rules in the whare that

include no food and drink around the

computers; signing in and out of all people

who enter the whare and certain people hold

the keys to the room. They also have a

compulsory koha model to help with power

costs and refreshments – this is well received

by the users.

by Te Rōpū Whakahau associate member,

Lorraine Johnston, formerly the Māori

Resources Librarian at the University of Otago,

and now the Heritage Collections Librarian for

Dunedin Public Libraries. The exhibition draws

mainly from the McNab New Zealand

Collection. Early books on display reflect the

emergence of the written language, and

include examples of orthography, grammars,

dictionaries and religious texts produced by

the early missionaries, as well as translations

of classic tales including: Robinson Crusoe, A

Pilgrim’s Progress and

The Merchant of

Venice.

The biggest use of the whare seems to be with

those who have purchased laptops and

computer equipment BUT, do

not understand, or know how

to use the technology. Judd has

designed training to help users

increase their skill levels. He

has also formed a team of

whānau members who are able

to deliver many of his training

programmes.The CyberWhare participated in

the recent APNK Impact Evaluation Survey and

the assessor was very pleased with the

information gathered.

Judd Bailey also delivered a kōrero at the July

APNK Library Managers seminar in Wellington,

focusing on how the Marae is 'Helping to

bridge the digital divide'. The feedback from

Library Managers and APNK management was

overwhelmingly positive. We also met up with

other APNK co‐ordinators from Te Rewarewa

Marae, Haromi Williams and Tuahiwi Marae,

Tui Falwasser – this proved to be valuable for

all.

Computer Clubhouse ki Whanganui Whanganui Computer Clubhouse was

established through DIA funding, with the

following partners : Whanganui District

Council, Youth Services Trust

and Whanganui Community

Foundation as the main

partners. The equipment list

at the clubhouse includes 15

Mac workstations, 2 Mac

laptops, a music studio, digital

cameras and video, a telescope, lego robotics

and a big screen TV.

Our clubhouse was opened on Friday 17 July

and with the wonders of digital our own, the

honourable Tariana Turia (Aunty) was able to

present a message in support of the

opening (she had a DVD made and it arrived

on the day). It is located in the city with a

membership of 214 youth, aged from 11‐18

years old (with no promotion), and 15

mentors who provide extensive ranges of

skills from knowing how to record music to

screenprinting your clothing with your graffiti

designs. 2 of the Mentors are from Ngā Tai o

mentoring at the clubhouse is part of their

community engagement.

Broadband Wireless pilot The Whanganui residents of Gonville and

Fordell were queuing up to be among the first

The trial gives up to 60 households in the

Gonville and Fordell areas free broadband

internet access for six‐months, via a wireless

receiver. Council officers arrived at work

yesterday morning to find some Fordell

residents waiting to sign‐up for their free

receivers. By lunchtime all of the free

receivers allocated to the Fordell area had

gone, with half of the allocation for Gonville

being claimed at Gonville Café Library.

“This is the first chance we have had to come on to campus since the quake and in fact we have just had a debrief meeting, free lunch and back to check our offices and for me, check my email. My feeling is that we were miraculously lucky as to when the quake struck. No fatali-ties! Certainly there is damage, and at the moment we can only access 40% of the collection as the building has not been cleared as safe. It will be some time before life gets back to normal, and we continue to have numerous aftershocks.

I was lucky to be on holiday in Melbourne when the quake struck, but quickly con-firmed all my friends and family were well and very happy to be back a couple of days later. Since then I have had a couple of days of face to face catch up with family and friends”

nā Carol Brandenburg

“By some strange miracle, our books

remained on the shelves in our little

library. We haven’t done a full

check yet, but a quick look

through the windows indicated

that nothing has flown off the

shelves on to the ground! Hope-

fully there is not too much unsal-

your workplaces.

“I’m well, just at home with whānau still. We had another big after-shock this morning which caused slightly more damage at my place than before. But seems okay structur-ally. It's a bit like being in a war zone in terms of the un-predictability. Quite freaky”

at 4:35 am on 4 Mahuru 2010

"Shake Rattle and Roll" would be an apt description of the recent events here in Ōtautahi. It was one of the most scariest experiences I have had. Our house is okay but my son has major damage to his, so my whare is a refuge place at the moment. My tāne Tom (Fire Service) is extremely busy being on constant call to check buildings and water supplies. It’s amazing the number of chimneys that have been destroyed across the city. The roof scape has certainly changed. Central Library re-opened on Monday. Most of

the quake damage was confined to our floor

(2nd floor) with the Heritage collections ending

up on the floor so lots of sorting mending and

reshelving to do but its mostly back together

now. The Ngāi Tahu collection tumbled down as well with the actual shelves coming away from the walls and all the Claims volumes strewn around the floor. The

shelving units have been damaged so we are

back to using old wooden trolleys to display

that collection for a while. We still have a few

libraries waiting for clearance to reopen and

customers are slowly making their way back in. There was a 4.2 aftershock this morning and

my little office which kinda hangs out over the

rest of the building did a bit of a shake rattle

and roll what is even more scary is that we are

becoming immune to these aftershocks

describing them as only small 4 pointers.

Meanwhile our new Te Wai Pounamu rep on Ngā Kaiwhakahau, Carol Brandenburg has been great. We recently attended a meeting at her mahi, Lincoln University Library to hear about Te Rōpū Whakahau business and to continue to network with each other. I think there are about 4/5 of us who are keen to go to IILF next year so we are looking at ways that that might be possible. Oops there goes another after shock

so I am outta here.

“slowly recovering, our house or indeed

our entire street in Kaiapoi have no signs

of damage, we've all been green stickered.

My whānau and I took time out in Motueka on

Tuesday for some much needed sleep, our

nerves were shattered. We arrived back yester-

day well rested and fed!

I’m back at work today, it's so good to get

back to normal. Central library had a few

books strewn here and there, it took the

clean up team an hour to reshelve the

books” nā Georgina Waihape
