Rules and Procedures

The Academic & Special Libraries Section functions within the Library Association of Ireland to cater for the needs of librarians and information professionals working in Universities, Institutes of Technology, private third level colleges and research institutions, as well as the commercial, state and semi-state sectors. The Committee is drawn from members working in all these sectors. The Committee meets on the last Wednesday of every month (except December). Any items that a member would like to bring to the attention of the Committee, for discussion or information, should be e-mailed to the Secretary in advance of these meetings.

The primary function of the Section is to provide a forum for discussion on issues relevant to academic and special librarians and information professionals and carries out this remit through the provision of seminars, workshops, talks and visits. These activities are open to all members of the LAI and are advertised on the LAI website, Leabharlann-E, Irish Library News and via the A&SL Section mailing list.

Members can join our emailing list by sending an e-mail to asl-on@lists.libraryassociation.ie
