Help an information need

Help an information need to show the scale & scope of the Library, Archives, Records, Information & Knowledge Management Services in 2015

We all have a need for information in order to make decisions. This need could be for ourselves or for the organisation or institution we work for or are a member of such as a professional body.

The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) and the Archives Reccord Association (ARA) have commissioned major research to map the workforce across the Library, Archives, Records, Information and Knowledge Management Services and related professions in the United Kingdom.

They need information to show the scale and scope of the profession in 2015.

I am part of the research team working on this commissioned project.

If you are a member of this workforce, please complete the survey at http://bit.ly/workforcemap. As well as helping the research, respondents could also win £200 worth of vouchers of their choice.

The survey takes no more than 15 minutes to complete, and has been designed so that it can be completed on a range of devices, but it is most accessible on a desktop, laptop or tablet computer.

The project team would be grateful if you could also spread word of the survey amongst colleagues who work in libraries, archives, records management, information management and knowledge management. We are interested in the views of all workers at all levels, whether in paid or unpaid employment.

Thank you in anticipation of your support to help meet this information need.
