When I posted the link to this survey on Tuesday, staff of Auckland City and a few other individuals told me that they could not get past the second page of the survey. I have created another version of the survey in a simpler software, and this morning it has been tested by an Auckland City staff member who says it will work on their Internet Explorer browser. I apologise for this unexpected glitch, and for having to re-post about the survey as a result of it. Thank you to everyone who has responded already, and please note it is open until 19 June, so there is plenty of time. There are now THREE ways to get to the survey: 1. The original survey which has worked well for most people: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/944144/LIANZA-Careers-Survey 2. The survey on new software. This is a short URL that I hope will work for Auckland City and others who experienced problems with the original link: http://bit.ly/M9PjRP If that doesn't work, try the third option: 3. The full file path to the survey on the new software (which should work for Auckland City staff and others who had problems with the original link): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFZ6SjN5MFk1ZXpyUGFiMDB tY3JNSFE6MQ This is long, and so if you are copying and pasting it into a browser remember to copy the whole link. Below is the message I sent on Tuesday: SURVEY ON NEW ZEALAND LIBRARY CAREER ISSUES INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION We'd love to have your input about your experience, attitudes and ideas around career development, and would be very grateful if you could spend 15-30 minutes on the attached survey. http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/944144/LIANZA-Careers-Survey This survey will run for two weeks, and will close on Tuesday 19 June 2012. This survey is aimed at people who currently work, or who have worked, in libraries at any level, from volunteer library assistant right through to senior management. Specific issues that are covered in the survey include: * What techniques have you used to progress your career in libraries? * What is your attitude to continuing professional development and LIANZA Professional Registration? * How do you keep up to date with issues relating to your job? * Do you have any advice for people who want to work in your sector? In July I will be presenting a series of workshops on career development for librarians at all stages of their careers, and have developed this survey to help understand a range of related topics. The results will be used in the preparation of the workshops, and will also be used by LIANZA to help develop the Professional Registration process and to understand how to support librarians more effectively. Please note that no question requires an answer, so you can fill in as little or as much of the survey as you wish.
