> The School of Information is currently contacting 2006 (May, August, 
> December) graduates to encourage them to participate in the Library 
> Journal Salary Survey of 2006 Graduates. Last year, the survey was 
> expanded to insure graduates who enter non-library positions can 
> provide information that illustrates their career direction. Results 
> are not identifiable with individuals.
>
> As Dean Dillon said in his correspondence to 2006 graduates:
>
> "The LJ survey information is important for at least three reasons, 
> regardless of whether you kept a previously held position, entered a 
> career field other than library & information science, or decided 
> not to work upon graduation:
>
> 1.	Many employers structure entry-level salaries based upon 
> Library Journal salary survey information.
> 2.	Many potential LIS students select their university program 
> based upon salary survey information grouped by school.
> 3.	Many current LIS students develop their career paths based 
> upon salary survey information."
>
> If you are a 2006 graduate and have not received the salary survey 
> information via e-mail or regular mail, please contact Ron Pollock 
> (rpollock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) for the survey URL and password.
