Membership

Academic Libraries North (ALN) is funded by subscriptions which are based on Jisc bands and reviewed and adjusted by the Finance Lead, on behalf of the Steering Group, on an annual basis. The income pays for the ALN Development Managers, events costs, and administrative support from SCONUL. Each member institution is expected to contribute ‘in kind’ where possible, e.g. with hosting meetings or participating in projects.

There are 33 member institutions and 2 representatives of each institution sit on the ALN Board. The members are listed below along with the names and titles of the Board members:
