Welcome to the Ontario Association of Library Technicians / Association des bibliotechniciens de l’Ontario
Resources
As part of our mandate is to disseminate information relating to Library and Information Technicians through education and professional development, the Association provides a variety of resources to members and those interested in the Library Technician profession.
If you’re interested in a library technician career, we’ve put together a list of programs available in Canada.
If you don’t live in Ontario, but are a Library Technician, you might find this helpful – our list of Library Technician associations throughout Canada.
OALT/ABO is required by the association’s Bylaw to administer and report on the current salaries and work done in any library and/or information position(s) whether a job, internship, and/or volunteer position in which a library technician diploma is a required or preferred qualification within the province of Ontario.
The Board of Directors of OALT/ABO has been mandated, by the Association’s By-Law, to compile a membership directory. Given concerns regarding privacy, members elected when they renew their membership whether to have their contact information published.
The purpose of this list is to communicate electronically with members regarding OALT/ABO and other library organizations events and activities, and to provide a forum for members to discuss career related issues. All members are encouraged to post job opportunities, meeting notices, professional development activities, and to discuss issues which are relevant to Library Technicians and libraries. Discussion List
Starting in 2021, the Board of Directors started the Lunch and Learn initiative offering Professional Development Sessions to the membership.
