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
