Item The three INGs: Recruiting, training and retaining(2000) Lilley, Spencer CThe purpose of this paper is to address the problem of firstly how we recruit Maori to our profession, train them in the range of skills required to be successful and lastly how to stop them leaving the profession. The preparation of this paper has been assisted through an informal email survey of Te Ropu Whakahau members. Comments from the survey are used throughout the presentation to illustrate a number of key issues that emerged from the survey results. Later in the presentation I will also provide examples of overseas initiatives to recruit ethnically diverse peoples to the Library profession.Item Reflections on professional training: A post-Auroran view(2008-01-30T22:44:38Z) Lilley, Spencer CThis paper looks at the relationship between education for librarianship, professional development and leadership training.Item Ki te Ao Marama, Ki te Ao Matauranga: Into the world of light, into the world of information(2008-01-30T22:33:38Z) Lilley, Spencer C; Field, SheeandaAs the largest provider of university education to Maori, Massey was challenged in 2003 by the newly appointed Assistant Vice Chancellor (Maori), Professor Mason Durie to become a university where Maori language and culture flourishes, aplace where Maori students are likely, a university where Maori will obtain relevant higher degrees, a university which has the teaching and research capacity to make a substantial contribution to Maori development and a university that provides academic leadership for Maori development. This paper focuses on the development of Maori services at Massey University Library to meet these challenges.Item Indigenous intellectual and cultural property rights(2008-01-30T22:17:12Z) Lilley, Spencer C1999 heralds the beginning of the United Nations Decade for Indigenous Peoples. A number of issues will be highlighted throughout the decade and new opportunities will emerge. In recent years both Australia and New Zealand have witnessed a rebirth of interest in indigenous issues. One of the more complex issues that has emerged has been that of cultural and intellectual property rights. Assertion of property rights over traditional forms of knowledge will become one of the leading challenges for indigenous peoples during this decade. Indigenous intellectual and cultural property rights do not fit neatly into western legal frameworks and this therefore leaves the knowledge of indigenous peoples vulnerable to exploitation. Indigenous peoples are establishing their own networks and working through international organisations such as the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations to identify sectors where cultural and/or intellectual property rights are being compromised. Libraries and information centres store and provide access to a variety of resources that fall into the category of intellectual and cultural property and this will subject our sector to intense scrutiny. This paper will identify what constitutes cultural and intellectual property rights, how it conflicts with western law, and what the implications for libraries and information centres are.Item Closing the gaps: Maori and information literacy(2008-01-30T03:09:42Z) Lilley, Spencer CThis paper focuses on the reasons why information literacy is a concept that has yet to make an impact on Maori. Although Maori participation as librarians and library users has increased dramatically over the last decade there are still a range of barriers that continue to inhibit access to library and information services for Maori. The relevance of these barriers to the 'information literacy divide' are analysed and actions are identified which will allow a strategy to be created to close the gap.Item Aurora Leadership Institutes: Assisting future leaders to maximise their leadership skills and potential(2008-01-30T02:45:37Z) Lilley, Spencer CThis paper provides background information on the Aurora Leadership Institutes and the Aurora Foundation. The latter part of the paper focuses on the looming leadership crisis in the library profession in New Zealand and overseas and identifies several strategies that require implementation to ensure that the crisis is averted.
