University of Notre Dame Australia
Broome Campus

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Library, Information and Resource Network (ATSILIRN) is a professional support network for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people working in libraries and for professionals providing information needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. ATSILIRN was established in 1993 as a result of the “Gathering and Sharing Workshop” held in Canberra.

University of Notre Dame Australia, Broome Campus is set on a natural bush block combined with lush tropical gardens. It is committed to providing strong support for the process of reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians by giving an opportunity for all students to learn about Aboriginal history and culture.

It has long been acknowledged that Indigenous Australians are the most underprivileged sector in Australian society. This conference will showcase programmes from within the information profession that aims to inform and educate Indigenous people.

One of the features of holding our conference at the Broome Campus is the availability of onsite accommodation. This provides us with an excellent opportunity to workshop out of conference hours and to develop or enhance already established social networks.

Why don’t you come and join us rise to the challenge!
