PLEASE NOTE - HLA News has been replaced by the HLA journal JoHILA. This page will be updated in due course.
ALIA HLA produces two publications, the quarterly HLA News: National Bulletin of Health Libraries Australia, indexed selectively by CINAHL, RMIT Publishing (Informit), the Informed Librarian and the ILOSearch database; and the monthly ALIA members only HLA Alerts.
Newsletters have been published since the 1972 formulation of a professional body for health librarians. Titles have varied through time, depending on the name of the organising group. Since its inception in 2003, HLA have published the HLA News and in 2014 added HLA Alerts.
