Dear Chris and lis-linkers,
Thanks for your timely reminder about this. I tried to get into the site
some time ago but could not get in because of people objecting to road
pricing.
We, here in Scotland, have quite a good record on employment of school
librarians but it is a constant battle in the face of problems about
salary gradings and career and policy development in what is effectively
a solo working environment.
I am concerned that the Petition has only attracted some 1500
signatures. When I presented my petition to the Scottish Parliament on
information literacy it attracted over 700 signatures on a population
base about an eleventh of the size of England although we got gratifying
international support.
However as a former Chairman of the long defunct Renfrewshire Education
Committee used to say - Youse a want tae gae in fur ya eddication and
indeed we a do.
Best wishes
John
