Kia ora! I’m Steph Cook and I am team leader for the Online Resources team, Libraries and Learning Services | Te Tumu Herenga at the University of Auckland. This is a new role for me and a brand new team – we have only been operational since October 2018.

My team works across Libraries and Learning Services to design, develop, and deliver online resources to support student and researcher development. This includes:

• Instructional design expertise
• Usability testing
• Investigating and advising on emerging technologies
• Multimedia production

I’m Claudia Adams from Libraries and Learning Services (LLS) | Te Tumu Herenga at the University of Auckland and the Team Leader - Administration Services in the Business Services team. I am responsible for the development programme relevant for all LLS staff and excited about the prospect of being involved in enhancing digital capability and skills in a changing digital world. I am also the back up Digidex Champion for my colleague, Stephanie Cook.

Kia ora. I’m Emma Chapman from Auckland University of Technology Library. Here I am team leader, Information Literacy. Our team teaches information literacy skills, and we are interested in the connections of information and digital literacies, and what these things mean for people in the real material world. So I am very pleased to be in this Digital Dexterity group. I made this poi (see video above) with some students in a library introduction class, in our library makerspace. Kia pai tō rā – have a nice day.

P.S. About poi

Kia ora! I work in the Information Services team at the University of Waikato and have done for almost four years. Before that I worked in a public library for 10 years and had a career in journalism before that.

My team mainly works with undergraduates but we are involved with some postgraduate students. Our role involves:

• Teaching information literacy, searching skills and APA referencing
• Staffing the library reference desk
• Staffing the library instant messaging/chat service
• Answering emails from staff and students
• Marketing and promoting the library, including using social media and making library video guides We try to experiment with new technology but time doesn't always allow us to explore and experiment as much as we want. So I'm looking forward to learning what others are using, what's worked or hasn't worked and how we can upskill our staff.

I'm Heather Lamond, Associate University Librarian Client Services at Massey University. I'm physically based at the Manawatu Campus in Palmerston North, but responsible for teaching, learning and research support across all 3 Massey campuses in Wellington, Auckland and Palmy, as well as Distance. I'm also responsible overall for staff development and capability. I am a bit of a gadget/digital nerd and volunteered to be Massey's Digital Dexterity Champion for that reason.

I’m a Team Leader Subject Librarians at Victoria University, with a long-standing interest in digital literacy and online learning. I’ve worked in public, special and academic libraries for the past 13 years. I’m currently training for a marathon and doing a creative writing course.

Kia ora koutou. He Pou Tuarua o Ngā Puna Mātaraka o Te Whare Wānaka o Waitaha te mahi. Ko Lyndsay Ainsworth tōku ingoa. I’m Lyndsay Ainsworth from University of Canterbury Library where I am the Associate University Librarian for Learning and Teaching. I’ve been interested in things digital right from the time 30 years when as a Library Assistant I was encouraged to play around with gadgets, to learn to use NZBN (an early online system), etc. I volunteered to be the Digidex champion here at UC, but it certainly won’t just be me, and my colleague Sara Roberts and the subject librarian and e-services teams will be very much part of what happens going forward. We are excited to be part of a group and community of practice in this area. My kiwi icons as shared are a (well-re(a)d) plastic penguin that I helped to make on our 3D printer, chosen because Christchurch is the Gateway to the Antarctic and we have research teams working from UC, and also a pack of Te Reo (Maori language) playing cards signifying that University of Canterbury/ Te Whare Wānaka o Waitaha is on a bicultural journey that includes building our skills in the Reo using high and low tech methods.

Kia ora! I am a Research Services Librarian at Otago University, in Dunedin.
