Library Activists Network
As the Union for all university staff, and in response to our members, the NTEU recognised the need for a specific focus on library staff. Libraries, and within them library staff, are the heart of our universities, and need to be nurtured and strengthened to meet the challenges presented by rapidly changing modes and trends in library functions and service delivery. Many of the issues and challenges facing library staff in academic libraries are unique to libraries, and yet common across each campus. The NTEU Library Activists Network was formed as a way to facilitate cross communication among library workers in our Western Australian university libraries, and build solidarity and strength for academic library staff who experience similar workplace challenges.
