LIANZA Connect is an important tool to help you initiate and join professional discussions, answer or ask questions, connect with others in the sector, and receive or share news and resources.
You’ll be able to connect to many of your colleagues who share your challenges, uncertainties, and successes in libraries and information services throughout the country. We hope you will find it to be a place where you can ask for advice, share your experiences, share resources, and build relationships.
It’s built on the same platform used by other associations such as the American Library Association (ALA) and Record and Information Professionals Australasia (RIMPA).
Once you’ve joined, you’ll get alerts in your email based on the communities you join.
We hope you will join us on the platform.
