Synopsis
The topic of staff development is not new to the world of library work and its need in today's information organization is no less pressing. But how can a manager hope to attract and maintain a skilled workforce in the face of financial constraints, declining or flattened budgets, and downsizing initiatives? Developing Information and Library Staff Through Work-Based Learning presents not only the rationale but the tools and techniques necessary for adopting a Work-Based Learning (WBL) approach. WBL is centered on the principle that learning takes place in all areas of life, not just in the classroom, such that learning-on-the-job is not only rewarding for the staff but for the manager as well. Thus, claims author Barbara Allan, it is ideally suited to library and information organization settings. First published in the UK in 1999, Developing Information and Library Staff Through Work-Based Learning has been revised and updated for a North American audience by management expert Barbara Moran. Now, as then, it offers resourceful, alternative approaches to staff development, with a plethora of ideas to expand your staff's skill sets.
