Contributions to the ALIA Research Fund pay for research into a broad range of issues that can lead to enhanced professional practice across the sector, for example the impact of technological advances on client services, workplace issues and more.
The Research Fund also supports ALIA's Research Awards program through which members have the opportunity to apply to undertake projects with the potential to advance practice of the profession. Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible. Email [email protected] for more information. The ALIA Research Fund will preserve a memorial donation in honour of a departed family member, friend or colleague.
