Welcome to ALS Library Services

Happy New Year and welcome to 2012.  

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.

    Welcome to our first ePlatform Library

    How exciting that our first ePlatform library has moved from trial to live site today. Tricia spent a few days working with many suburban and regional libraries this week answering questions and setting up further trials. In the meantime, Paul has been hard at work signing up new Publishers to add to the growing list. It's a wonderful Aussie/Kiwi Digital space.

    Kindles and libraries

    How interesting that library lending to Kindle devices is becoming less regulated. Our digital world changes fast but hopefully as for most good change, is in response to customer satisfaction.
