The Alberta Association of Library Technicians (AALT) is dedicated to supporting the professionalism of Library Technicians through communication, continuing education and cooperation.

AALT was formed in 1974 to help promote a wider understanding and acceptance of the Library Technician’s status in Alberta and to assist in the implementation of recognized provincial education standards. We are a non-profit organization with an energetic, dynamic and dedicated membership governed by an annually elected Board of Directors. AALT strives to:

• address the ongoing professional development needs of our membership
• ensure that a high standard of progressive, timely and appropriate education continues to be offered in the library information programs
• promote accurate information on the qualifications and capabilities of library and information technicians
• interact with other associations within the library and information field
• provide networking opportunities within an educational framework
• maintain liaisons with various organizations to support Library Technicians
