As a benefit to its membership, AALT undertakes a survey of Library Technicians in Alberta every two years. This survey provides Technicians and other interested parties a snapshot of what kind of employment is available in the field as well as current salary information. Among the types of information gathered in the survey are:
- Job titles
- Level of education held by technicians
- Types of libraries technicians work in
- Specific job fuctions performed
- Salary levels and benefits offered
The resulting information is of value to technicians, students, and employers as it provides a broad overview of the current job market. Survey results are available in the following year of the survey to all members of AALT free of charge.
