Welcome to The Partnership, Canada's national network of provincial and territorial library associations providing the following programs and services to its members:
These programs and services enhance the value of membership and provides a depth and richness that no one association can achieve on its own. The following associations are The Partnership:
THE EDUCATION INSTITUTE
The learning programs of The Partnership year-round are offered coast-to-coast through teleconference, Webcast and on-line. Special conferences and stand-alone face-to-face programs are available to all Partnership association members at preferred rates.
THE PARTNERSHIP JOB BOARD
he Partnership Job Board is a combined service of the provincial and territorial associations and is hosted by the British Columbia Library Association (BCLA). Job seeking is freely available. Employers are charged a modest fee for placing a job advertisement, of which a portion is provided back to the provincial or territorial association.
THE PARTNERSHIP ELECTRONIC JOURNAL INITIATIVE
Partnership: the Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research is a practitioner's journal of The Partnership published twice a year. Articles may be contributed at any time for publication consideration. Potential articles are reviewed by members of an editorial review committee. Articles fall into several categories. Feature articles on theory and research and on innovations in practice are in-depth, peer-reviewed articles and fall in the range of 1,000 to 5,000 words. Other types of articles include viewpoints, conference presentations, profiles, news and announcements, professional development and reviews. A writing team will support librarians who have little experience with research reporting. Fully approved by all Partnership association boards, the first issue appeared in late 2006.
THE OLAStore and DISTRIBUTION CENTRE
The OLAStore is Canadian agent and distributor for over ten companies offering quality professional library literature and promotional materials. This one-stop source of professional inspiration is offered to all members of The Partnership through their individual associations and is administered on behalf of The Partnership by the Ontario Library Association.
