Keynote Speaker : Dr Penny Hagen

The first is respected design strategist Dr Penny Hagen, who has worked in the commercial, community and academic sectors around Australasia over the last 15 years. Her speciality area, design thinking, is an emerging trend in the library world as organisations strive to provide better service to users with shrinking budgets and increased user expectations.
Dr Hagen runs her own strategic design consultancy Smallfire, which specialises in custom participatory design and stakeholder engagement programs for community and not-for-profit organisations. She is also User Experience Director at Digital Arts Network Auckland and most recently she has worked with Auckland University of Technology Library to implement user-centered approaches to service design.
Programme Committee member Melanie Chivers believes Dr Hagen’s keynote address will be hotly anticipated.
"I am excited to hear from Penny who has an excellent reputation and experience. Design Thinking is a buzzword worthy of the hype. We all want to provide the best service possible and Design Strategy offers us tools to rethink if we are doing that and how we might improve heading into the future."

LIANZA and the National Library of New Zealand are thrilled to announce Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President of OCLC Research and Chief Strategist, as a keynote speaker for the 2013 LIANZA Conference in Hamilton in October.
Dempsey joined OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) in 2001, overseeing OCLC Research and was appointed Chief Strategist for the organisation in 2004.
After beginning his career in public libraries in his native Ireland, Dempsey moved on to direct UKOLN, a national U.K. research and policy unit at the University of Bath and later headed up national information services in the UK with JISC.
Conference Convenor Vye Perrone believes a keynote as well known as Lorcan Dempsey will have wide appeal for delegates at LIANZA Conference 2013.
“Lorcan’s interest in library trends and futures and the architecture of digital information environments makes him a real draw card at our event”.
