To some extent, this makes Frances's point. The post at the Royal Society is benchmarked to the salaries of other department heads. It is seen as a managerial, rather than a professional job. And the salary is much higher than it was when I held the post five years ago! I would like to see CILIP undertake a major benchmarking exercise against other professions. This worked for some female-dominated professions in the health sector. It would also be useful to establish the value of information to the economy and to fields such as higher education. I know the British Library did an exercise on this for itself, but it looked rather dodgy. Mary
