What is LEARN?

LEARN is the network of South Australian TAFE libraries. The network provides access to the learning resources held by libraries across the network, and promotes the effective use of these resources in TAFE programs.

Membership of LEARN is automatic for all library staff across TAFESA, including librarians, library technicians, library assistants, lecturers, lecturers' assistants and clerical staff.

The activities of LEARN are coordinated by LPG (the LEARN Planning Group). Each institute has a representative on the Group and a Convenor is elected annually.

The LEARN Network Services Librarian provides centralized cataloguing and bibliographic services for SA TAFE libraries, as well as coordinating the network's internal and external webpages.

LEARN staff exchange information via the LEARN Inn, LEARN's online communications hub hosted on the Janison e-learning platform.  Click here to find out more.
