Three thoughts come to mind as I stagger out from an avalanche of "Low Pay"
messages:
1) Isn't the practice of librarianship also management?
2) If our image is STILL so poor - and it is - is it unreasonable to suggest
that our professional body has failed utterly to improve this image over many
years?
3) Dare we hope that CILIP will take due note of which subject has aroused
the most overwhelming response from its membership since LIS-CILIP began, and
perhaps feel an obligation to address it, instead of making excuses?
