The Research Careers Initiative has encouraged institutions to provide career planning courses for contract researchers, but sadly many have poor take-up. The RCI is now investigating more flexible provision. Meanwhile, Managing Your Career, is available from the Robert Gordon University, Schoolhill, Aberdeen. There is also a Guide to Job Search via the Internet for Academic Researchers at www.strath.ac.uk/Departments/Careers/Guide/ Barbara Graham, Director, University of Strathclyde Careers Service
