ALIA submission to the Productivity Commission Issues Paper on the Contribution of the Not for Profit Sector, June 2009

The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) is committed to an active policy of social inclusion and through its leadership, advocacy, education and professional development activities for and on behalf of its members, there is a well-educated library and information workforce whose contributions to libraries enhance the economic, social and cultural wellbeing of Australian society. 
 
The draft overarching framework in the issues paper does not fully identify the several roles, outcomes and impacts delivered by not for profit membership-based organisations such as ALIA.
