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. The survey is undertaken during odd-numbered years under the direction of the Membership Director. Survey results are available in the fall of the survey years to all members of AALT free of charge on the Members Only Web site. Other interested parties may contact AALT to purchase a copy of the survey for a nominal fee.

The 2007/2008 AALT Salary Survey will be conducted entirely online using theSurvey Monkey software. The Salary Survey site is now open and available here. The survey endsl May 31, 2008.

Other Salary Surveys related to the library field are collected in the AALT Link Library.
