Hi cardies, we’re doing a fundraiser, or ‘the Great newCardigan September Donation Drive’ to use its full name. We haven’t run a fundraiser in almost four years. We’ve drawn down our funds, reduced our costs, and relied on a small number of regular and ad-hoc donors – thank you, we appreciate you a lot! However, we need to keep newCardigan solvent, meaning we need your help to keep going for another year.
We’re also revamping our Discord server to foster more discussion and sharing. Alissa has all the details for you.

In our last episode in our GLAM after Twitter series, Hugh speaks with Eleanor Colla about email newsletters, Twitter, professional communication and identity, and the separation between “work” and “career”.
Eleanor has worked in tertiary research libraries across Australia since 2016, but has recently left the GLAM sector to see what being a project manager is all about. Eleanor’s interests are in how to best integrate library services within the broader tertiary environment, the nexus of information, research, and project management, the role of cross-boundary professionals in tertiary institutions, and library advocacy.

For a few years, Twitter was the place to be if you wanted to keep up with the latest professional developments in GLAM. But just like the saying about going bankrupt, Twitter got worse “slowly, and then suddenly”. In our upcoming series we will talk to four GLAM workers about what made GLAM Twitter so great, and the benefits and possible futures of other ways we communicate and collaborate as professionals.

Our special series on bespoke and unusual GLAM collections continues, with Ray Langenfelds from CSIRO’s Aspendale atmospheric science laboratories.
Ray spoke with Hugh Rundle about the Kennaook/Cape Grim Air Archive – how it started, the surprising back-story of the canisters used to store the original samples, and why this very unusual archive is so important to global science.

Clare Presser interviews museum owner, writer and perfumer, Mandy Aftel.
Nestled in Berkeley, California, the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents is a micro museum that offers a unique olfactory experience curated by Mandy Aftel, a renowned figure in natural perfumery.
With exhibits ranging from rare botanicals to ancient artifacts, the museum invites visitors to explore the rich history and artistry of perfume. Our conversation explores the challenges of running these community spaces, how rewarding they can be and whether best practice and best use always align.
In a world filled with noise and chaos, the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents offers a moment of tranquility and wonder—a testament to the enduring allure of fragrance.

After a 12 month break (almost to the day), we are are getting back in game with a bit of a reboot to cardiCast. Shorter seasons that focus on specialist subjects and a touch of project development time in-between. Good quality conversations that, hopefully, spark community conversation with a framework that will allow a little more consistency for our listeners.
Welcome back to cardiCast!

Clare took a trip out to Anglesea and had a chat with Jocelyn, who was working on the Bellarine and Surf Coast Mobile Library branch of the Geelong Regional Library Corporation. Between some squeaks and creaks, they discuss the joys and challenges of offering a service like the Mobile Library. A small cast of local characters are interspersed throughout the interview, because what is a community library without the community itself? Short, sweet and (full disclosure) a little bit noisy, it’s a lovely snapshot of what it’s like to work offering this unique service.
