Consultations on Education and Competencies for Library Technicians in Canada: Invitation to Library Managers and Supervisors
October 29, 2021
| If you are a library technician, please complete this survey. |
Attention Library Managers and Library Supervisors!
We are currently recruiting for participants in a research study to update the Canadian Federation of Library Association’s (CFLA-FCAB) Guidelines for the Education of Library Technicians. These Guidelines were last updated in 2011 and can be viewed here: https://cfla-fcab.ca/en/guidelines-and-position-papers/guidelines-for-the-education-of-library-technicians/
The goal of this project is to provide a substantial update to the Guidelines for the Education of Library Technicians. This will help to establish a national standard for the education of library technicians in Canada, and a framework for the development of skills, knowledge, and abilities of library technicians to provide job-ready, and highly skilled graduates. The updated Guidelines will be available on the CFLA-FCAB website once completed and approved by the CFLA-FCAB Board.
We are looking for a representative sample of managers, supervisors or those who are in a position to hire library technicians from across Canada. If this describes you, and you are interested in participating in the full survey, please complete this brief questionnaire by Nov. 12, 2021.
