Subject: [fla] USP Library/Information Studies degree survey

 

Dear FLA members, 

(Please accept my apologies if you have already received a copy of this
message). 

I would like to encourage you to complete a survey about plans for the
University of the South Pacific to offer a Bachelor's degree majoring in
library studies, and to pass this email on to others who may be interested. 

We are gathering feedback from current and graduated students, and also
their employers. 

We are particularly interested in employer feedback, as they will influence
how this qualification is accepted in the workplace. Employers include
school principals and Ministries of Education, as well as those who manage
academic, public, government, business and research libraries. In the
interest of conserving bandwidth, I have loaded copies of relevant documents
onto our website:

To find out more about our plans, this is a link to a summary of the
proposal:

SP_LIS_Degree_summary.pdf (57 KB)

You can download a copy of the form from our L/IS pages:

Survey_Library_general.doc>
http://www.usp.ac.fj/fileadmin/files/services/library/Working_in_libraries/S
urvey_Library_general.doc (140 KB)

This is your opportunity to give us detailed feedback on these plans, and to
help us develop a program that meets the needs of Pacific libraries in the
21st century. 

Please return completed forms by email to: libtrain at usp.ac.fj 

If you would like to mail a printed copy of the survey, our address is: 

Library Training program 
C/- University of the South Pacific Library 
Laucala Bay 
Suva 
Fiji 

We have a student worker analysing responses - so your feedback would be
very helpful now. You may receive an out of office reply, but all survey
forms will be actioned as soon as possible. 

All feedback is important.  

Thank you
