• PAM member Jeanette Regan has accepted the position of Resource Centre Manager/Knowledge Management Project Manager, at the Australian Electoral Commission. "The position comes with the challenge that many PAM librarians faced over 10-15 years ago - of making resources available to clients via a web interface. I also manage the intranet redevelopment and the introduction knowledge management to the Commission. The years of experience of working with PAM makes this challenge do-able! I continue to keep up with PAMnet and hope you all keep in touch." jeanette.regan@alianet.alia.org.au
