This lecture series was attended by more than 250 people in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne.
CAVAL and ALIA
In July 2008, CAVAL signed a second three year agreement with the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) to cooperate across the full range of their activities, including events, services and projects which support and advocate the development of libraries and information services. Under the terms of the agreement, individual ALIA members receive a 10% discount on the price of public training events offered by CAVAL. ALIA's institutional members also receive a 15% discount on the cost of in-house (onsite) training programs provided by CAVAL.
L to R: Richard Sayers, Director Capability Development CAVAL and Sue Hutley, Executive Director ALIA, sign the agreement (11th July 2008).
