Summing up our 18 months' research learnings and progress

Today it was such an honour to present our research learning and progress with the 100+ staff at the Orange Aboriginal Medical Service (OAMS) Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) day. We were given 45 minutes to discuss our 5-phase project that concludes at the end of June.

It has been such an honour and privilege to work alongside the amazing team to support children's speech, language, communication, and literacy. We hope that the books, resources and learnings we have planted grow roots and blossom in the future. We'd love to continue collaborations if there was a pathway forward.

Children on campus - Scoping review + preparing for ethics

Today we had two meetings to advance our work about children on campus.

This morning, our review team (Carolyn Gregoric, Suzanne Hopf, Claudio Dionigi and I) worked on the discussion of our paper that includes a scoping review of international literature and rapid review of Austrailan university policies and guidance documents.

This afternoon, our broader group met to discuss writing the ethics application for undertaking research to co-create The Treehouse (virtual and physical) and include children as research participants in our new Children's Voices Centre.

Indigenous Literacy Foundation

UNESCO has declared 2022-2032 the Decade of Indigenous Languages. The Indigenous Literacy Foundation publishes children's books in Indigenous Australian languages https://shop.ilf.org.au/collections/all. The Charles Sturt University Libraries held a fundraising campaign earlier this month to support this important cause: https://library-blog.csu.edu.au/2023/09/14/great-book-swap-2023/

DECRA Fellow in Bathurst researching connections between people who are homeless and libraries

Today I had the opportunity to show Dr Jane Garner, Charles Sturt University's ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellow, around Bathurst and CSU. We also had lunch with Dr Emmaline Lear from the Research Office.

Here is Jane's research blog: https://thinkspace.csu.edu.au/librariesandhomelessness/about-the-project/research-blog/

Jane's DECRA is investigating policy and practice connections between people who are homeless, libraries, and organisations that support people who are homeless. She is undertaking six case studies, and Bathurst is her first one. I know that she will learn a lot from Bathurst Uniting Support Services (BUSS) and Bathurst City Library. Welcome Jane!

Using researcher profiles to promote research
