Following up on Priscilla's message below, Jesse readers may also be interested in the just published issue of Library Trends on LIS workforce research (Fall 2009). A second LIS workforce issue of Library Trends will be published in Fall 2010. Together these two Library Trends issues will report the results of a wide range of national and international research on this important topic. Our hope is that the research articles will inform the many practical issues that we are facing as educators and practitioners as we continue to experience the impact of demographic, technological and economic change. Workforce issues will be one of the topics discussed on the recently announced IMLS Wiki on the Future of Museums and Libraries. Please consider contributing to the workforce discussion which will take place from April 28-May 12 as well as the other important discussion topics listed on the IMLS website at http://www.imls.gov/news/2010/022410.shtm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joanne Gard Marshall Alumni Distinguished Professor School of Information and Library Science University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 301 Manning Hall, CB#3360 Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3360 SILS:(919)843-7883 Research office:843-9968 email: [log in to unmask] http://ils.unc.edu/~marshall/ _____ From: Priscilla K.
