What are the benefits?

- Linking with other organisations in the field of librarianship, education, children's literature and technology creates a wider perspective for the teacher-librarian.

As a professional association, we interact with State and Federal Ministers of Education and other bodies which influence the development of school libraries, the place of information literacy and the role of the teacher-librarian.
- Professional development: Each year a number of activities is planned to provide teacher-librarians with the opportunity for professional development.
- AliaS newsletter/website: The School Libraries Section (NSW division) has its own online newsletter, AliaS, which is provided as part of membership. It contains feature articles on developments in teacher-librarianship and a forum to address the issues in the role of the teacher-librarian.
