ALIAWest
co-ordinates and communicates strategic professional issues and organises
continuing professional development activities statewide. As part of this role
ALIAWest maintains a professional blog, Biblia,
as a communication tool for the library profession in Western Australia.
Biblia was previously circulated on a monthly
basis as a traditional, print newsletter. However, in 2007 the ALIAWest
Committee decided to explore methods of making Biblia more accessible to today's generation
of library workers. After considering a number of options the Committee settled
on the idea of a blog.
In
the process of designing this blog, care was taken to preserve the appearance
and objectives of a newsletter while making best use of the functionality
provided by the blog software. Therefore, the core objective of Biblia continues to be to provide news
pertinent to the library profession in Western Australia.
If
you would like to make a contribution to Biblia or have any feedback about this blog,
please do not hesitate to contact one of the ALIAWest Committee members
