As the subject lists, maybe I'm missing something. I've read through the
recent AALL publication "leveraging our strengths". We also talk of a
renaissance of law librarianship. And for at least 15 years we have been
talking about how computing and our use of information technology will
finally reveal the great value of what law librarians do (and librarians
generally) and enhance our value to our employers and of course enhance
our salaries. Do you see this happening in your law/library work setting?
In your salaries?
I know that computing staffs in law schools and elsewhere have a market of
their own for their services and computer services librarians appear to
have a somewhat better "market" than other law librarians (based on aall
salary survey and personal knowledge), but do you see the wide spread
improvement in the salary market for law librarians or general librarians?
Maybe it is just too soon and all these wonderful predictions will come
true with ten more years of computing.
As I said at the start, maybe I'm just missing something. Some
information you may have that I just don't know about.
