@wdenton Thanks for sharing! Do you know if this is an entry-level position? Should I share with our graduating MI student employees who have been working on Borealis and Scholaris?

@spagotto Absolutely! Tell them to address all the Demonstrated points with a line or two in their letter. They don't need to be the best in the world; they need to show that knowledge or ability based on their experience (can be creative here). Also address all the Knowledge Of points; experience there helps but isn't required, and they can expand in person. But address all the points. That's how we start to score.

@spagotto Also, I think our starting salary for someone fresh with their terminal degree (the MLIS or equivalent) is about $110,000 now, which is why that floor is there. Our salaries are tied by formula to the average faculty salary (and we benefit from that).

@wdenton Thanks! I admit, I knew York librarians had better salaries than UofT librarians but I didn't know it was that much better. I think starting salary for recent MLIS grads is more in the neighbourhood of $85,000.

@spagotto It's thanks to pay equity legislation in the 1980s Rae NDP government that led to changes in our collective agreement.
