A case study of higher-level library technicians

ALIA 1995 Library Technician Dunn & Wilson Scholarship, Jean Bailey, LibTechCert
 
This study was made possible through the Dunn & Wilson Scholarship and supported by the Australian Library & Information Association (ALIA), with sponsorship from LJ Cullen Bookbinders NSW, and Apollo-Moon Bookbinders Victoria.
 
The aims of the study were:

• To examine the career progression and practice of library technicians who operated at Higher Education Worker Level 6 (HEW6) or above in academic libraries as case studies; and
• To examine the role of those library technicians vis-a-vis the industry competency standards which were the basis to the development of the national curriculum.
