As a library or information professional you need to be able to develop advocacy strategies that support your services and win you more recognition.
The Improving pay and status: a school librarian’s self-empowerment pack was designed to support CILIP Members who work in schools by providing them with:
- Key facts and figures relating to best practice
- Recommendations from CILIP and other authoritative organisations on pay and status
- Strategies for influencing Head Teachers and Governors
- Evidence from research
Although the pack was designed for school librarians, it can be used in other library and information sectors. It outlines strategies that have been used to argue successfully for better pay; includes case studies; and identifies the areas that can help you redefine your status within the workplace.
