    The three INGs: Recruiting, training and retaining
    (2000) Lilley, Spencer C
    The 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.

    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, Sheeanda
    As 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.

    Closing the gaps: Maori and information literacy
    (2008-01-30T03:09:42Z) Lilley, Spencer C
    This 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.
