Frontline with ALIA President, Roxanne Missingham Strengthening our profession    [PDF 112KB]
ALIA’s 70th birthday provides an important opportunity for all of us - librarians, library technicians and information professionals - to think about what makes our profession strong. The contribution we make through our organisations - be they national, state, public, university, school, TAFE, special, law or health libraries or information organisations to Australia is tremendous.

Directline with ALIA Executive Director, Sue Hutley Libraries as Place    [PDF 156KB]
All of us have that special feeling when you walk into a library. Pride, calmness, excitement, a place you know but at the same time, what will I find, what will I discover, what new things will I see, what experience will I have? All of these things I still feel when I walk into the many libraries I get to visit around the country. Thanks to all those libraries, architects and consultants who have contributed to this edition of inCite - introduced by pre-eminent Australian expert on library building planning, David Jones. There are of course many more amazing libraries throughout Australia not featured here.
