This submission from the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) and the Queensland Public Libraries Association (QPLA) outlines the role public libraries as a part of the emergency management process.

Internet access in public libraries has become a core offering, providing equity of access for people without the benefit of a PC at home, and the demand from library users has been on a consistently upward trend for more than a decade.

The responses to the 2011 survey suggested that, while library managers were doing their best to meet this demand within the limits of their resources, these resources were becoming over-stretched and there were concerns about their ability to maintain service levels in the future

This document is an evidence-based guide for the development of public library services in Australia. It uses the National and State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) annual collation of state and territory statistics as its evidence base, and builds on the earlier work on standards and guidelines carried out by the State Libraries of New South Wales and Queensland.

Standards are quality levels – goals for attainment – and they are presented at baseline and enhanced service delivery levels. Guidelines document best practice and are intended as operational suggestions for improving library performance.

This document was superceded by "Beyond a quality service: strengthening the social fabric. Standards and guidelines for Australian public libraries 2nd ed (2012)".

This document provides an overview of Federal Government Budget 2011 topics which may affect Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) members and their organisations, including: the National Broadband Network, internet filtering, cyber-safety, education and early childhood development, adult literacy.
