Historical Note

The Australian Institute of Librarians (1937-49)

The Library Association of Australia (1950-88)

The Australian Library and Information Association (1989-)

The Australian Institute of Librarians was formed in 1937, largely on the initiative of John Metcalfe, then deputy librarian of the Public Library of New South Wales. The Institute was assisted by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation in New York.

The emphasis of the Australian Institute of Librarians was on raising the standards of librarianship. Initially in the absence of any other professional qualification, a condition of membership was experience in an approved library. Branches were formed in all States and in the Australian Capital Territory, and all branches were represented at the Institute's first conference in Sydney in 1938. The theme of the conference was 'Standards of Librarianship and library training', and following the conference the Institute established a committee on library training and standards. The committee's report resulted in the establishment of a board of examination and certification in 1942.

In 1947, in response to the visit and report of McColvin, the Institute turned its attention to library development and in 1949 reconstituted itself as the Library Association of Australia. The new association carried out without interruption the functions of the Institute. Membership, however, was opened to interested citizens and library authorities, as well as librarians and library students.

The Library Association is governed by a General Council which consists of a president, vice president, general treasurer, and general secretary, two past presidents, two members appointed by each branch and one member appointed by each section. The Association is organised in branches and sections. There is a branch in each State and in the ACT, and within some of the branches there are regional groups. Within each section there may be state divisions.

The Board of Examiners consists of seven professional members, appointed by the professional members of General Council. The Board makes recommendations to the General Council on all matters affecting examination and qualification in librarianship and on the qualifications for fellowship and associateship of the association. The Board also set standards for Schools of librarianship and provides accreditation to those schools meeting the standards.
