I think suggesting that lecturers get "long annual leave" is a bit
unfair - the students might not be around, but I'm sure they spend
plenty of time on research, at conferences, etc., which is part of
their job.
But I would be interested to hear how you went about
demonstrating your value to staff and managers?

I agree with job security....but what nice long hols????!! As our library
is open year around, we only get 20 -28 days a year annual leave, not the
long annual leave that lecturers get...
However, I have to say.......the librarians and assistants in the Library
and Resource Centres here are very highly valued by lecturers and senior
managers. But we have worked very hard at demonstrating our value to
lecturing staff and managers........and it is nice to be valued.........
