I shared a while back about RAILS - this Australasian library and information studies get-together has been going since 2004 so this year's pretty special.

Thanks for your support AusGLAMrs for my post about the Research Applications in Libraries and Information Studies (RAILS) conference. https://railsconference.wordpress.com/ for the program and registration.

Hi AusGlam community, first post here from me ... I am part of Curtin's iSchool and in Nov this year we're hosting the Australian research conference for libraries, archives and information studies that's been running since 2024 - RAILS https://railsconference.wordpress.com/. We'd really like to broaden the audience for RAILS this year and really make the most of its original goal to connect research and practice in a meaningful way - most of it is in person in Perth and there'll be an online component too.
