The South Australian Library and Information Network was formed in 2001 by a group of new graduate librarians and is dedicated to serving the professional development and networking needs of new and not-so-new library and information workers.

Membership is inclusive and free, comprising library technicians, librarians, students, new graduates and other information professionals such as archivists and record managers. Interested? Why not join SALIN today!

The group defines 'new generation' as anyone who has graduated with a library qualification within the last ten years; we also welcome established professionals. SALIN provides an opportunity for social and professional networking through regular social nights, seminars and workshops. Check out the events section to learn more about the type of events SALIN hosts.
