Welcome to ASLA Online

The Australian School Library Association (ASLA) is a national association representing the field of teacher librarianship and school library resources services in Australia.

During May 2008, ASLA hosted its third online virtual conference: Under Construction: A World Without Walls which focused on the impact of the digital agenda for school libraries. The main strands covered pedagogy, literacy and environments. The groups listed below endeavour to keep the discussions alive.

This ASLA Online site will continue to host discussions with the aim to bring together a range of educators to consider, discuss and explore the educational potential of a globally connected world.
