A strategy for the recognition of competence in the library and information services industries: at industry levels A-D. Contents

This Recognition Strategy is designed to provide a national process and guidelines for recognising the current knowledge and skills of people working in, or proposing to enter the library industry.

It provides an overall framework which encompasses a number of models or options that can be further adapted for use in library workplaces or in training situations. As it is based on assessment against the Library Industry Competency Standards at levels A-D, it provides a common basis against which to benchmark the learning that takes place in many different situations.

A case study of higher-level library technicians

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.
