Info Career Trends - July 2005 Editor's Note
Who wouldn't like to be paid more? As librarians, though, the contributions we make to our workplaces and to our larger society are unfortunately not always reflected in our paychecks. This issue's articles offer a number of ways to help bridge this gap, from individual salary negotiations to tackling broader societal issues. Their writers' words provide food for thought, as we reflect both on our individual worth and that of our larger profession.
If you're feeling especially reflective, consider contributing your thoughts to an upcoming issue of Info Career Trends. I'm currently seeking writers for two issues: January 2006 ("Keeping Connected"), and March 2006 ("Creating Community"). Find more information on these themes and contributor guidelines at http://www.lisjobs.com/newsletter/theme.htm; send your queries to editor@lisjobs.com.
Not convinced you should write for me? Check out my July Library Link column on "Library Literature and the Gift Economy" for more reasons to contribute your voice to the library literature.
