ALG User Survey

The National Library of Australia is interested in finding out how satisfied you are with the content and services of the Australian Libraries Gateway (ALG).
A Canberra-based firm, User Insite Pty Ltd, has been engaged to conduct a survey by email. User Insite has selected libraries and stakeholders from the Gateway and an official notification of the survey will be posted very soon. The answers you give will not be revealed to the National Library, except as overall results and we hope that you will participate if contacted by User Insite.
The results of the survey will be broadcast on 'What's News' and the ALG-L discussion list.
Thank you to all of you who do take part in this important review.

System user groups and ALG

The Australian Libraries Gateway includes a page within the 'For Libraries' section which lists library system vendors. We are keen to include links to any established Australian user groups (a direct link to a website or an email address). If you maintain a discussion list related to a library product, we would also be glad to add it to the list of Australian library-related discussion lists which we host. To have your user group added to the Gateway or ask any other question about ALG, please contact ALG Administration.

Disaster Plans

Hot off the presses! Responding to feedback received from a Gateway library we have added "Disaster Plans' to the list of online policy documents you can identify on a library's entry (see the National Library's entry for an example). You can add the URL for your disaster plan using the 'Online Services' update form. You can also search for library's with disaster plans indicated on their entry using the 'Advanced Search' function.
If you have a suggestion for other key policy documents to include on the Gateway please let us know here at ALG Administration.

ABS Library Extension Program

We've recently been in touch with Leonie Wing who coordinates the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Library Extension Program (LEP). If you are a LEP library, you can indicate this through your ALG entry - use the 'Online services' update form and select the appropriate box.


ALIA InCite cover
