ITSIG’s only activity of note in the past 12 months was the workshop held in conjunction with the AGM at the 2007 LIANZA Conference. The main topics presented and discussed were:

• Podcasting in library instruction - talk by Angela Jowitt (UCOL)
• ResearchSpace@Auckland, the University of Auckland institutional repository - talk by Vanessa Newton-Wade (University of Auckland)
• EZproxy advanced techniques, eg, for password-authenticated databases - talk by Bob Pearson (University of Auckland) 
•  

The ITSIG Wiki has gained some additional material, mainly a page of NZ library blogs and a group of pages for PUBSIG.

ITSIG is again running a workshop at the LIANZA Conference in 2008.

Members of the ITSIG Committee for the past year were Bob Pearson (Convenor; University of Auckland), John Laurie (Treasurer; University of Auckland), Peter Kennedy     (University of Canterbury), Paul Sutherland (Christchurch City Libraries ) and Andrew White (Lincoln University).
