My thanks to Kerrin Benson from MDA, the SCOA State Executive Committee Member for Queensland for hosting this event. I was particularly interested in hearing feedback on some of the challenges for our Queensland colleagues .

Cedric Manen – SCOA Chair Migration Policy Index Research and Webinar SCOA in collaboration with the Migration Policy Group held a webinar on Tuesday 27th September to release the results of the recent study into international standards of settlement policy, specifically focusing on how Australia compares to the rest of the world. With a total of 32 people interested parties on the call, representatives from MPG – Thomas Huddleston and Jan Niesson – and our very own EO Sky walked us through the research and how it applies to the Australian context. The call was interactive with participants able to respond to several poll questions posed throughout the 102minute presentation. Overall from the research Australia was found to be ranked 5th out of the 33 MIPEX countries, rating 3rd in the area of citizenship policies. There are areas in which Australia could see some improvement, in particular in relation to anti- discrimination law and providing equal opportunities for migrant workers. There is a full recording of the event available on line at http://www.mipex.eu/blog/the-australian-perspective-on-migrant- settlement where you will also find all the research discussed at the webinar.

While research libraries have opened up collections through flickr, interactive spaces with digital collection material, social tagging and links to library thing, parliamentary libraries have a different business environment. This paper will cover the use of web 2.0 services by Australian parliamentarians, the implementation of wikis in the Australian Parliamentary Library, experiments in Australia library space with facebook and future opportunities. Introduction Over the past decade Parliamentary libraries, as with libraries across all sectors, have increasingly move to use digital services and delivery of their services and products online. For Parliamentary libraries the online environment has been a boon. As the Section notes: Parliamentary librarianship is a distinctive form of information work, mainly for Members of the Legislature, who work under great pressure, and who both use and create information. For this reason they need adequate information support. In the last twenty to thirty years there has been a great growth of this work, not just in terms of quantity, but in many legislatures in terms of quality and depth also.
