About

I am currently the Service Manager for Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Digital Collections/QUT Archive service at Queensland University of Technology. From 1992 until now I have worked in various roles in the Information Profession in Queensland.

As I am committed to lifelong learning I have kept up with the changes in the industry by undertaking further study, reading and professional development, speaking at seminars and conferences and undertaking courses both in Australia and overseas.

I have a passion for people, collaboration, libraries and all things smart. I started my library career in rural Australia and 20 years later I have gained experience in public libraries with roles in customer service, branch management, ICT, local studies, digitisation and preservation. In March 2018 I moved to the city of Newcastle in NSW to take on the position of Heritage Collections Digitisation Specialist. In this position I have been instrumental in the implementation of a state of the art Digitisation Lab and have taken the lead on designing workflows and best practices for preservation and access for Newcastle Library’s Heritage Collection.

Annette Mills is currently Business Analyst Collections at the State Library of South Australia (SLSA), and until recently was the Manager Collection Development at Southampton University (UK).
She has worked in various professional and leadership roles at the SLSA most recently in collection analytics and preservation, and has extensive experience working with library and archives collections in collection management roles. She course coordinates, tutors and teaches in various GLAM programs with the University of South Australia.

I am a Product Owner delivering exceptional digital experiences across a variety of industries, including financial services, telecommunications, and government. My educational background includes a Library and Information Science degree, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in this field.

In addition to my expertise in product development, I am deeply passionate about the intersection of technology and risk management in digital preservation. I believe that this area of focus is critical for forward-thinking and the preservation of valuable knowledge for future generations.

I have worked in public libraries for twenty years, with some detours in the tertiary and private sector. I’m a qualified archivist and librarian who has worked in the local studies space in Narrm/Melbourne for the last six years where I’ve enjoyed the placemaking and storytelling role of public libraries.

I’m the co-convenor of the Public Libraries Victoria Local Studies Special Interest Group, member of the Joint Victorian Archives Consultative Forum and the Australian Services Union.

I am the Systems Librarian at the Department of Defence, however, I spent fourteen years at Griffith University in a variety of roles learning about systems, project management, new library technologies and collaborative initiatives.

As a technologist specialising in library systems and repositories, I aim to deliver user-centered services and enhance access and discoverability of digital collections. I have an interest in the long-term preservation of digital assets, ensuring their integrity through robust storage and preservation solutions.

During my career at Griffith University, I worked on projects such as the Len Webb collection, the LUNA visual art images collection, and the QCA/QCM creative arts research outputs for ERA 2012. Working with the ALIA Digitisation & Preservation Group is a great way to share knowledge and experience.
