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.
