Hello!
I'm hoping for some information and advice. I'm a British citizen,
although I've lived in Canada for most of my adult life. I recently
completed my MLIS and am working for a library consortium. I also have
public and academic library experience. I'm relatively techno-savvy.
I'm thinking (not sure how seriously!), for family reasons, of moving back
to the UK, but I'm relatively ignorant of the library/info situation.
What are salaries like compared to the cost of living?
What are the best sources for job ads?
What is the employment (or unemployment!) situation like for
librarians/info specialists?
I'm still somewhat confused about the different processes for qualifying as
a librarian in the UK.....
I 'd be relatively flexible about where I could live (Scotland, Wales,
LIncolnshire, Northampton area are some of the possibilities...)
Anyway, I guess I want to know if it's sheer madness. I'd be grateful for
any information you could offer. It's probably best to reply to me
personally, as I imagine this would be of limited interest to the list as a
whole.
I'll be in England from July 17 to August 9, so could do some on the spot
checking out of possibilities then.
Thanks in advance.
Anne
