Library managers, have you completed the neXus 2 survey?
A number of posts have appeared on aliaHEALTH about stage 2 of the neXus project. HLA has been specifically approached by the neXus project team seeking health library participation. Further, Gill Hallam, project leader, is hoping to present initial results at HLA at Dreaming08.
The HLA Executive cannot stress enough the importance of your input to this project. neXus2 will help OUR sector better understand the issues that impact on the recruitment and retention and the training and development of library staff. The study will focus on the institutional perspectives, rather than the individual, so needs the active participation of library management, to be able to obtain data at the organisational level.
The first step in the process is to register for a Security Identification Code. This can be done at http://datagecko.com/nexus/index.php?sid=14
Time is running out. The cut off date for the survey is Friday, 4 April 2008.
Queries can be directed to Gill Hallam, email: g.hallam@qut.edu.au or mob: 0402 159 818.
