I am writing on behalf of the
SLANZA National Executive to ask for your help.
As you know, helping to build a
confident and knowledgeable school library profession is incredibly important
to us. We believe that our communities deserve the very best school libraries
possible, and it is one of our strategic goals to improve the professional
standing, working conditions, and qualification levels of the staff who work in
those libraries. Enabling access to a range of professional development
opportunities is a vital part of achieving this goal.
In 2012, SLANZA surveyed school
library staff about their Professional Development needs. Around 200 people
responded to that survey, and as a result of what we learned, our Connected
Librarians online PD modules were developed and introduced the following year.
Fast forward four years, and as part
of our ongoing work in the area of Professional Development for school library
staff, we are asking for your input again.
This time our survey is focused on
work and qualification profiles - your library situation, employment, and
continuing professional development including library & information studies
qualifications.
The survey is open to SLANZA
members and non-members alike, so please forward the survey link (below) to any
library colleagues - SLANZA members or not, school library staff or not - who
would like to participate. All the responses we receive will provide crucial
information to guide our professional development strategy and our
relationships with other professional development providers.
Please follow this link to access
the survey:
The survey will remain open until
the 31st of May.
We really appreciate you taking a
few minutes to have your say.
Thank you,
President
School Library Association of New
Zealand Aotearoa
