Value of Libraries - Knowledge Cafe - National approach to research into the value of librarians (all sectors)

ISSUE:  National approach to research into the value of librarians (all sectors)

v  taking in account sectoral variations

v  Peak bodies through ALIA

v  Consortia approach

v  Services rather than sectors (similar to new approach that Australian councils now uses)(

v  Layered approach

v  Longitudinal studies

Is this idea a step too far?
