Dear Colleagues

The first of what will become an annual survey on pay and status related
issues, is now available on the CILIP website for people to complete.
Please visit the site and complete the survey yourselves, and promote
the opportunity as widely as possible to colleagues, by forwarding this
email to groups and individuals.

Thanks in advance for your support and participation.

Regards
Lyndsay



Salary Guides are one tool that have the potential to change how LIS
professionals are perceived and acknowledged. They are produced with
several aims in mind:

           o to help individuals relate themselves to others in their sector
           o to aid managers negotiating salaries for their team
           o to highlight the true breadth of the information
             professional's role to employers and non-LIS line managers
           o and to add weight to all advocacy work, whether on behalf of
             the individual or the profession as a whole.

In order to accurately reflect the salaries currently being earned it is
crucial that we gather up-to-date information. This information must
also be authoritative if it is to have credibility with employers. Hence
this brief questionnaire, which we ask you to complete and return as
soon as possible (before October 31st ) so that we can begin the process
of updating the salary guides during the autumn.

This is one of the ways that CILIP can help you to help yourselves and
colleagues. By developing informed and informative guides that are
accessible to both LIS practitioners and others, we can all help change
the value-recognition that is attributed to our profession.

In order to encourage as many of you as possible to complete
questionnaires, towards these shared goals, CILIP is offering a prize
draw.* One lucky member will be given a years FREE MEMBERSHIP.* Winner
to be drawn from all completed questionnaires received by October 31st
2004.

Please be assured that all the information that you supply will be
treated in confidence. Thank you - in anticipation - for your much
needed support.
