The key concern with Jenny's point about opportunities for training for members of ethnic communities (and indeed for anyone else for whom the post-graduate courses may be excluding) is the threat to the Society's diploma. Long may it run... Paul Brough Chair, SW Region SoA (and manager of a current candidate) -----Original Message----- From: jenny moran [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 16 September 2001 20:39 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Filling Posts Since we're currently advertising for assistants, I thought I'd post. I think we at Nottinghamshire CC are not alone in advertising locally and on the CCs website where possible. We have to put forward a case for putting an ad in a national or other publication, largely saying that we can't fill the vacancy locally. For a scale 2/3 post, this would certainly be called into question! Very few offices seem to advertise in the SoA newsletter for para-professional posts. At a meeting called by Re:source last year we discussed the lack of archivists from ethnic communities in the profession and suggested that setting up a contact list of professional archivists who were willing to give help and advice to people thinking of joining the profession. Perhaps offices with vacancies could also post to the list. Possible addition to the website?
