ALIA National 2022 Conference, 16 May - 19 May 2022 Canberra: persity

ALIA National Conference provides the platform as a meeting point for all Library and Information professionals, from all sectors and all areas of Australia and the international community. 

Respect for the persity and inpiduality of all people is one of ALIA’s core values, and ‘persity’ has been selected by ALIA President, Vicki Edmunds as her Presidential theme. Libraries serve perse communities and work to develop, maintain and share perse collections.

The overarching aim of the Greening Libraries research project is to underpin the Australian Library and Information Association’s focus on sustainability, in line with its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The report aims to highlight examples of best practice and inform the creation of a toolkit for libraries to help them support environmental action, further the greening libraries movement as well as exemplify sustainability practices that are consistent with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

These guidelines are intended to assist principals, school administrators and teacher librarians in the appropriate allocation of time enables teacher librarians to effectively deliver of school library services and programmes.
