[LM_NET] SHARE: future of the library workforce survey

[Cyndi Phillip <cphillip_56@YAHOO.COM>]

         The Future of Librarians in the Workforce 
 The Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has commissioned a 
comprehensive study to investigate the future of the library workforce. All public 
and academic libraries, and a sample of school and special libraries are being 
asked to participate through completion of a web-based survey over the next several 
weeks. This important study will produce estimates of the size of the library 
workforce (by type, size and locality) and the skills needed by current and new 
library workers now and in the next 10 years. The results will also be used by IMLS 
to develop and inform policy and programs.
 The school library surveys will be distributed in the next few weeks and will be 
sent to 6,000 school libraries nationwide.
