Libraries Alive! works with libraries and other organisations interested in ideas and information.
As library consultants our core business is quantifying information value and improving cost-effectiveness in information-related service delivery.
We get involved in reviews, strategic and technology planning, value assessment, performance improvement and staff development. We believe we are informed, experienced and effective.
The company is Australian in its
outlook, independent, and wholly owned by its founders Ian
McCallum and Sherrey Quinn.
Trading successfully for more than 16 years, Libraries Alive! is
proud to encompass all types of libraries and information services in
its customer list.
Our
approach to our work is considered, frank and open. We use only inclusive decision-making processes,
continually tested against customer requirements. Our methodology emphasises 'no surprises' and peer review.
We believe in the social and economic value of libraries and information services. We contribute to the activities of the Australian Library and Information Association,
support its Statement on professional conduct, and are accredited as Certified Practitioners. We sponsor
Friends of Libraries Australia (FOLA).
Our training workshops Rewarding Reading and Rewarding Reference
promote the value of reading
and the rewards of identifying authoritative information sources.
We are technology guides in an often bewildering digital world, and in conjunction with our partners, we produce standards and guidelines for library services.
