ALIA Research Advisory Committee submission in response to the Australian Academy of the Humanities Future Humanities Workforce Consultation Paper

The Future Humanities Workforce Consultation Paper has been designed to inform the national consultation process about the contribution and preparedness of Australia’s humanities research workforce for the future of work in academia and beyond. Engagement with stakeholders across all sectors will assist in the development of a comprehensive understanding of issues associated with the future humanities research workforce, including the current capacity and demographics of this workforce, and the skills and knowledge this workforce will require.
 
On behalf of our members, representing library and information professionals, libraries and information services, academics, researchers, research practitioners and the LIS community Australia-wide, the ALIA Research Advisory Committee welcomes the opportunity to provide a response to the paper.
