The CLA-CASLIS Government Section is pleased to invite you to complete 2011 Salary Survey.
http://app.fluidsurveys.com/s/2011-salary-survey/
We encourage you to complete the survey by the due date April 4, 2011. The higher the response rate, the better the final product will be in accurately portraying the benefits and remuneration of the members of the Canadian library and information management community.
All information provided will be held in confidence and reported in such a way that no individual can be identified. The survey tool being used, FluidSurveys, is a Canadian company with all data servers hosted in Canada.
The results of the Survey will be available in May 2011.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact the Section by e-mail at caslis.govlib@gmail.com
Note: Although the 2011 Salary Survey is a CLA-CASLIS Government Section initiative, all members of the Canadian library and information management community are encouraged to contribute.
