The Library has been asked this afternoon to take part in making visible the New Zealand wide graduate longitudinal survey. This government-funded study is looking at the ongoing impact of tertiary education on a students life. The survey has been commissioned by Universities New Zealand – Te Pokai Tara, and University of Otage will be responsible for collating the gathered data. I have been asked if frontline Library staff would be willing to wear t-shirts advertising the survey during the weeks of 19th September to 7 October, the t-shirts are yellow with black writing asking “Where will you be in 10 years?” Yellow books marks are also appearing in most of the libraries.
I will hand over a few t-shirts to each of the LR&IS Managers and if you wish to wear one please let them know, this is purely a personal decision if you wish to volunteer.
