About ALLA (WA)

By


ALLA (WA) Committee
The Australian Law Librarians Association (Western Australia  Division) (ALLA (WA)) is an incorporated association and part of the national Australian Law Librarians Association. The WA Division's membership is comprised of librarians, or people who have an interest in law librarianship. Our members are drawn from the Court libraries, academic libraries, government departments, accounting firms and law firms.

ALLA (WA) is run on a voluntary basis by a Committee that is elected at the end of each year. The Committee's aims are to promote the work of ALLA members, provide opportunities for professional development, hold information sessions, create opportunities for librarians to network with other librarians, publishers and outside organisations that can further the resources and services we can offer our own organisations.

ALLA (WA) also aims to lobby for greater access to primary legal information, and to maximise the availability generally of legal information. We liaise with the national ALLA and interstate Divisions on matters of mutual concern.

For more information about the Australian Law Librarian's Association and the Divisional model, see the ALLA National website.

Details of the current committee can be found on the ALLA National Website.

ALLA (WA) Committee meets on Whadjuk Nyoongar lands in Boorloo and acknowledges First Nations Australian as the traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to the land, sea and community.
We pay our respects to the people, cultures and Elders past, present and emerging.
