Each SIG has its own web page or series of web pages, with links and further information. Annual membership of one section is included as part of the ALIA membership fee. Changing technology, user expectations, patterns of use and work methods are having a significant impact on the planning of new libraries and the adaptation of existing premises. Members are able to share their planning and design experiences with a wider audience, telling each other of successful or unsuccessful design solutions, or furniture designs, or building-related products. Members involved with a new project are able to get in touch with colleagues who have survived similar projects.
All members receive, and are encouraged to contribute to a quarterly newsletter.
Seminars and training courses are also organised.

This is a national group which provides a forum for those engaged in providing library and information services to people unable to attend a static library or bookmobile. The key educational, economic and democratic requirement for Australia in the 21st century is an information-literate population.
