  LIANZA CHILDREN & YOUTH SERVICES NETWORK
  Every second Tuesday of the month, 2PM 

  LIANZA offers a time and space for children and youth service librarians and library staff to connect in a peer-to-peer network. This network supports anyone from within the profession engaging with children, youth, parents and whānau.

  We invite you to jump online on the second Tuesday of the month to share your ideas, experiences and questions with your CYS colleagues across Aotearoa. From working in partnership with early childhood centres and schools, class visits, engaging teens, holiday programmes, summer reading, use of te reo Māori and sign language in programming – there’s lots to discuss. We have had some marvellous presentations and discussions - let the good work continue.

  If there is a topic you'd like to discuss or you can help with one of the sessions below please contact Angie: comms@lianza.org.nz.

  These sessions are NOT recorded.

  LIANZA TEL SIG ONLINE JOURNAL DISCUSSION GROUP
  Last Thursday, every second month, 5.00PM-6.00PM

  LIANZA TEL SIG Journal Discussion Groups meet on a bi-monthly basis to discuss articles relevant to tertiary institutions. Each article is connected to a LIANZA Body of Knowledge (BoK).

  

  Upcoming session:

  With ANZAC day falling on the last Thursday of April we have moved the online discussion to Wednesday April 24 at 5pm. We would love for you to join us in what looks to be another interesting discussion around AI.

  This month’s article:

  Jun Wang, Steven G. Anderson, & Yali Feng. (2024). Ethical Considerations in Integrating AI in Research Consultations: Assessing the Possibilities and Limits of GPT-based Chatbots. Journal of Escience Librarianship, 13(1). https://doi.org/10.7191/jeslib.846

  With the questions:

  • What are the risks of using (or not using) chatbots in research consultations?
  • What’s your users’ attitude towards using AI applications in research consultations?
  • With the fast-developing AI applications, any feedback from your communities? What can we do to prepare ourselves and our users to face the changes?

  

  There are three groups:

  • Auckland CBD: contact tom.avery@openpolytechnic.ac.nz if interested.
  • Wellington: meets bi-monthly, contact ivy.guo@vuw.ac.nz if interested.
  • Virtual group: bi-monthly meets on the last Thursday of the month at 5pm. Contact Vickie Ward vickie.ward@cdhb.health.nz if interested.

  To join a group, please contact Diana McMahon-Reid - diana.mcmahon-reid@manukau.ac.nz or Kate Reynolds - kate.reynolds@waikato.ac.nz 

  We also have a TEL SIG Journal Discussion Group Facebook forum.

Come and join members of the LIANZA Professional Registration Board for an online discussion about these topics and any other questions that you might have.
