Mapping the UK’s information workforce

Workforce mapping project calls for wide participation in research project.


A research project commissioned by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) and the Archives and Records Association (ARA) sets out to understand and monitor trends in the UK library, archives, records, information, and knowledge management workforce.

The researchers are calling for as many members of the workforce as possible to complete the newly-launched questionnaire, which should take no more than 15 minutes.

The findings will help both CILIP and ARA develop strategies, policies, member advocacy and activities.

The survey is available here

For more information on the project see Hazel Hall’s post here.
