Library Assistants Survey

The Northern New York Library Network's Library Assistants Committee has compiled a survey, which was mailed on January 24, 2005.

The survey serves as a tool for discovering what services, continuing education topics, and other concerns are important to the many people working as library assistants in libraries throughout the region.

Results of the survey will be used to guide the Network in developing continuing education opportunities and other activities for the next year.

Please take a few moments to complete and return this survey. If LAs know staff members who did not receive their own copy, please feel free to copy and distribute the survey as appropriate.

Thanks for your help!
