Year in Review
Each year a review of BLA member activity is published. It is an excellent means of gaining a snapshot of the activities and developments across the sector. All member institutions are invited to contribute.
Training and Support
Membership of the BLA comes with access to a range of support. This includes access to the Database Benchmarking Tool, providing a snapshot across members and offering easy comparison. The Online Toolkit, to which all members contribute, provides best practice resources for teaching and other activities.
Committee
The Association is run by a committee – which is elected from the membership. The committee meets regularly to discuss and progress projects, initiatives, surveys and reports of benefit to the membership.
Conferences
Each year the BLA holds an annual conference hosted by a member institution. The conference consists of keynote speakers and presentations. The BLA also holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM) during the conference and the meeting is valued as an opportunity for members to engage with and hear from the Committee.
