Groups in the ACT 

ALIA has a strong membership in the ACT and due to the compact size of the Territory there is a strong affiliation between all ALIA Groups. There is also cross representation between the ALIA Groups and some specialist non-ALIA Groups (Australian Government Libraries Network (AGLIN); Australian Law Librarians Group ACT (ALLA) and the Canberra Library Tribe.
