Welcome to ALS Library Services

  Welcome, If you are new to our ALS website, click here for an access password.

Australian owned and operated, ALS has been in the business of partnering with Australian public libraries for over 40 years. We provide fast and accurate cataloging and processing of the latest books and media through our doors and directly to your shelves. Our experience working with libraries all around Australia has resulted in easy to use web selection tools with sophisticated back-end systems checking full bibliographic data against client profiles. 

Every month, we compile over 4000 Public Library specific records of new books and AV material. This means you can find all that you need with very little selection time per month. Because we specialise in supplying Public Libraries, you’ll find all our services are designed to meet your needs.

Of course, our Profile Selection Team is also happy to work with your profile and budget specifications to select and process material for all sections of your collection.

    LBF completed for another year.

    Publishers at London Book Fair were keen to talk about digital books and Australia. We even had one publisher flourish a pen and sign up for Wheelers ePlatform on the spot. It's been an exciting and fruitful few days. We will be sending full details by email next week.

    New Publishers

    There are nearly 30,000 English language books published every month and the figure is growing as self publishing becomes easier. At ALS we love bringing new publishers on board for library selection - but we make them jump a few security hoops first! This month we've added the Robin Boyd Foundation, Vivid Publishing and Publish America to name a few. We're always happy for your suggestions as long as the publisher can handle web site orders and payment.

    Hot This Week - Large Print & ebooks!

    How interesting that as we see a surge in interest in the ePlatform for ebooks this week, we also see a bigger than usual  delivery of large print material. That's another thing that our Australian libraries do so well - cater for the full range of patron access.
