Appendix includes the ALIA Constitution effective to 30 November 2006 with the proposed amendments marked.
The changes aim to ensure the Constitution reflects a modern Association; provides greater efficiency and flexibility, and acknowledges the expanding role of technology.
The changes include the introduction of online voting options at the AGM; the reduction of the AGM quorum from 21 to 11; the removal of the requirement for a Director representing institutional members (all Directors act on behalf of personal and institutional members); and a change of title from Executive Director to Chief Executive Officer. It is proposed that the National Advisory Congress provisions be incorporated into the Association by-laws instead of the constitution, but there are no plans to discontinue the annual round of member gatherings. Further amendments tidy up the wording of the constitution, for example, Secretary becomes Company Secretary.

Special libraries add value to their organisations in ways that are sometimes hard to quantify. While the invaluable work that library and information professionals do to aid research, store information, make knowledge accessible, and create sense from the mess is far too often overlooked. This work is done on a daily basis by special library staff to aid health professionals to make informed diagnoses, help researchers identify connections in their data sets, ensure governments have the information to make evidence-based decisions and so much more. Special libraries and those who work in them make a priceless contribution to their workplaces and deliver tangible results that should not be ignored.
