[ANU Pacific.Institute] Library update

[Jacky Clements]

Kiaora koutou,

Greetings from the Menzies library.  For those who don't know me - my name is Jacky Clements and I am the new Information Access & Collection Management Coordinator in the Menzies Library, with specific responsibility for the Pacific collections.  I am New Zealand Maori, with whakapapa ties to Ngati Mutunga ki Wharekauri and Ngati Porou and I have varied library and information experience across a number of sectors including government, investment banking, media & broadcasting and education.  I very much look forward to meeting any/all of you in your various capacities and find ways that I can support your academic and research needs from the ANU Library.    I hope this email finds you all well, and enjoying a well-earned break before Semester 2 begins.

Did you know we will be running library tours across all 4 campus libraries in from 19th July in O-week and week 1?  More details here<https://anulib.anu.edu.au/news-events/events-exhibitions>.  If you would like a curated tour or library session in class or via zoom please email me to set up a time to meet.

Would you like the library to acquire some new resources?  Please use this form to suggest a purchase<https://library-admin.anu.edu.au/suggest-a-library-purchase/index.html> or email me directly.
