Launch of the Register of Library and Information professionals
Venue: University of Malta Library, Msida
Date: Wednesday 16 May 2007
Time: 6.00 pm    
- The establishment and maintenance of the MaLIA Register of Library and Information Professionals is stipulated in the MaLIA Statute that specifically states that amongst its objectives, MaLIA should "maintain a register of qualified librarians". This register will continue where the Register of Qualified librarians has left off. The MaLIA Council believes that the new name reflects better the changing nature of our profession. In order to ensure continuity, MaLIA will be transferring professionals registered in the previous register to the new register automatically as long as these professionals are still MaLIA members. During the launch, an overview of the bye-laws regulating access to this register will be provided.
