ALIA in the Northern Territory

New to town? Or you've decided to make the most of your ALIA membership, but not sure where to start?  Please get in contact with us! We're happy to get you connected to local people and ALIA resources to help you grow and develop as an NT information professional. If you need any type of professional help or information, we're here to help.

We would like to say a big thank you to Jayshree Mamtora for her service to ALIA as Northern Territory Manager for over 10 years. Jayshree initiated the Top End Symposium and Top End Awards and has been a tremendous asset to the Association and our Members in the Territory.

ALIA CEO Sue McKerracher will be visiting Darwin from 2-4 April 2019, and would welcome the opportunity to visit other libraries in and around the city. Kate Bunker will be visiting again in the second half of the year. Please get in touch if you would like to meet up, if you have a story to share in ALIA Weekly or INCITE magazine.  We look forward to seeing you at an NT ALIA event soon.
