What is the demand for professionally qualified librarians, records managers and archivists?
The demand for librarians has been steady and, despite all kinds of predictions about the death of libraries because of the Internet, is increasing rather than diminishing. Good records managers are in heavy demand. All organisations, whether government or private, are feeling increasing pressure to be accountable for their actions, and for this good records are needed. There are relatively few openings for archivists who concentrate only on historical records, but many records managers will also need to deal with archival records.
