Why do people think that CPD revalidation would automatically improve the pay and status of librarians? I for one continue my professional development during my day to day work, I don't feel I need to be continually tested on this by anyone other than my employer. I think it is a bit naive to believe that continued revalidation would suddenly lift us to the heights of doctors in people's estimation. *************************************** Julie Hart Assistant Librarian Manchester Metropolitan University Library Support Services Minshull House 47-49 Minshull Street Manchester M1 3EU Email: [log in to unmask] Tel: 0161-247-6110 ***************************************
