SLAIS: The iSchool at UBC Graduate Employment Survey
Graduates of the professional programs at SLAIS (Master of Archival Studies, Master of Library and Information Studies, and Joint Master of Archival Studies/Master of Library and Information Studies) find work in a variety of locations and institutions. Position titles have varied from Knowledge Manager to Digital Asset Coordinator to Faculty Liaison Librarian to Senior Archivist. They work in all levels of government, academic institutions, both the private and the public sector, in non-profit organizations and in corporations.
In order to better understand the trends and challenges for our graduates in obtaining employment as professionals, the UBC School of Library, Archival & Information Studies conducts an annual survey of graduates from its three professional programs (MAS, MLIS, and MAS/MLIS). This allows us to identify trends in employment, as well as benefit from the views of our graduates a year later.
Graduates are surveyed approximately one year after graduation, and each cohort is surveyed only once. The most recent survey was conducted in Fall 2011. MAS, MLIS and Dual MAS/MLIS graduates from November 2009, May 2010 and November 2010 were surveyed. The survey is confidential, and some data and responses may be edited to ensure confidentiality.
The most recent survey results can be downloaded here as a PDF document.
If you have any comments on the survey or its results, please contact the SLAIS Student Services Coordinator at slais.ssc@ubc.ca.
