Your ALIA WA State Manager
My name is Niamh Quigley, and I am your ALIA WA State Manager.
I'm based in Perth and recently graduated from Curtin University with a Graduate Diploma in Information and Library Studies. This year I'm working on a Master of Information Management research project about open access at Curtin University.
My background is in software testing, and I've worked in Ireland, the UK and Australia on mobile phone apps, airline reservation software, public transport smartcard ticketing, and university student management systems.
As an early career librarian, I have already had huge benefits from my ALIA membership as a student member (more about this here). Get in touch if you are thinking about joining ALIA and want to find out more.
Say hello if you see me at ALIA events, and let me know if you have questions about any aspect of your ALIA membership - future events, the Professional Development scheme, or how you can get involved.
