This infographic supports the Australian Library and Information Association Health Libraries Australia (ALIA HLA) 2016 census report which suggests that Australia is facing a potentially critical shortage of health librarians.

This infographic refers to a study released in 2013 which suggests that hospitals, government departments, associations and other organisations involved in healthcare gain a $9 return for every dollar they invest in health libraries.

The Competency Mapping work has produced a list of health-related courses, events and programs offered in 2018 that are relevant to health librarians and technicians in Australia. The courses are also mapped to HLA's eight competency areas.

Nationhood, national identity and democracy - Submission 63
 
Submission from the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) submission in response to the Senate Inquiry into Nationhood, National Identity and Democracy Discussion Paper - 30 September 2019
 
All Australian public, school, university, TAFE and special libraries contribute to the development of an informed society and to citizens who can participate in public debate and decision making. Therefore, libraries are well placed to contribute to the discussion around nationhood, national identity and democracy. With a well-funded National, State, Territory and public library network, people have a better understanding of what it is to be Australian; are better equipped to engage in the democratic process and are more likely to be engaged citizens. The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) asks for the important work of libraries in this arena to be acknowledged in the Committee’s report.

The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) welcomes the opportunity to provide a response to this discussion paper and would be pleased to be involved in further discussions about Australia’s ethical framework for artificial intelligence (AI).
