Special Libraries Directory 2020 – 3rd Edition 3 Introduction
ALIA’s Special Libraries Working Group has put together this directory of special libraries to support collaboration. The directory is not a comprehensive listing, but it does identify like-minded individuals working in similar situations. The aim is to enable people to share non-competitive information, insight, expertise, ideas and resources; to improve the sense of connectedness in a sector with many one-person libraries, and to strengthen special libraries’ advocacy network. We are conscious that there is some degree of duplication with other resources such as the National Library of Australia’s Australian Libraries Gateway and the Western Australian Government Libraries Directory. We are also aware of the difficulty of keeping these listings current. The directory will be updated as new information is received and we welcome further additions from special libraries. For queries about the directory, or to add your library to the collection, please email [email protected].
