CILIP produces a series of salary guides, for the different lis sectors. For many years the 'special library' guide was attempting to be all things to all sectors, which was clearly unsatisfactory. In order to develop a series of more focused guides, we worked with other organisations to develop the original guide into a series.
* The Government Salaries Guide was produced in partnership with the Government Libraries Group.
* The Health Guide was produced in partnership with the Health Libraries Group.
* The Law Libraries Salaries Guide was produced in partnership with BIALL.
We now want to start work on guides specifically aimed at the industrial and the commercial sectors (it will be crucial to define what is covered by these terms), beginning with a 'industrial' salary guide. The Industrial and Commercial Libraries Group (ICLG) have agreed to support work on an industry guide, and two dates have been arranged to discuss the structure, content etc of this new guide: Wednesday 26th February and Wednesday 12th March. Both meetings will begin at 2pm, and finish at 4pm, and take place at CILIP Ridgmount Street.
If you are interested in participating in either of these meetings, please contact me. If you are unable to attend one of the meetings, you may still like to contribute to the process, in which case, please send any ideas, and information to me prior to Weds 26th February. It will be important to ensure that the guides which are produced accurately reflect the true job situation, whilst also honestly portraying the types of role which are undertaken.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Lyndsay
