ALIA National 2014 Conference, 15-19 September 2014 Melbourne : together we are stronger

This conference presentation provides an insight into multiple projects running within Deakin University Library to consolidate the data across major Library services, in a cost effective and sustainable way. The overarching strategy is to develop a comprehensive dataset supporting business decisions, and in so doing allow the Library to optimise operations and services for the benefit of our clients.

This statement on ALIA's role in research supports the commitment to promoting and encouraging a research culture and research practice amongst library and information professionals in order to improve theory and practice.

An environmental scan of Australian Library and Information Studies (LIS) research was undertaken focusing on the period 2005–2013.
 
This was in response to a brief from ALIA that sought such an analysis to inform its decisions in relation to content of a future research agenda, support, advocacy, and future funding.
