There’ll be a session on it at NLS2006 as well, focusing on newgrad issues.

I just took the survey online, it took 20 minutes but I think it was well-spent. Gave me a good chance to think about what development I am interested in and where I see myself in 10 years time (eep!) and when I plan to retire (double eep!).

Hi Peta and everyone, I’ve just listened to Gillian Hallam talk about this survey at Click 06 and will blog about it later today, but in the meantime, yes, we should all be completing this survey! It’s going to provide very useful information for planning for the future of our profession.
