Did you know professional reading is a category in the ALIA CPD scheme?

Articles from library journals, the business and financial press, monographs etc through which you can keep up-to-date with sector and other issues impacting upon your practice are all regarded as professional reading materials. Items may be published in print format or as electronic documents. As general reading is, by its nature, less-directed than, for example, a personal study project - it attracts less credit within the ALIA CPD scheme than other more-directed activities.

ALIA CPD scheme points : 1 point per hour, 10 points maximum per year

Documentary evidence required for audit: a list of the bibliographic citations of the items read or a list of journals you regularly read.

You may find it helpful to reinforce your reading by completing an ALIA record of learning activities sheet for each article that you have read and you can track your CPD points via the online database.
