About the Book

New to this edition are: realistic and relevant goal setting; programme infrastructure development; incorporation of core competencies; diversity in staff development; and coaching and team skills. Enhanced with case studies and sample assessment surveys from both academic and public library settings, the third edition of "Staff Development: A Practical Guide" will help libraries of all types, with staff at all levels, to raise the bar and deliver cutting-edge and customer-based services.

About the Author :
The Staff Development Committee of LAMA's Human Resources Section facilitates and promotes effective staff development programs in order to maximize staff abilities to successfully perform their responsibilities and thereby improve overall library effectiveness. The Library Administration and Management Association (LAMA), a division of the American Library Association, is an organization that encourages the study of administrative theory for improving the practice of administration in libraries, and for identifying and fostering administrative skill.

Review :
..".after reading the book, the reader is in no doubt as to why the first and second editions have become best sellers." ..".covers all aspects of staff development and training, including such topics as: adult learning theory, paying for programs, setting goals, selecting programs, finding trainers, and program evaluation. Although most advice is straightforward, this is the only guide to pull together this much information with a specific library focus; contributors all work in the field and provide practical advice based in experience... Highly recommended." "An excellent model, the framework first includes a theoretical context and then provides 'how to' information on everything needed for creating a staff development program from start to finish, including how to develop staff, train the trainer, design instruction, and conduct an evaluation... This title is recommended for libraries of all types and all levels of staff and is a must read for every administrator, trainer, and staff developer responsible for implementing or enhancing staff development programs." "From the great variety of information found within the covers of this small volume, library administrators can learn how to access library needs, set goals, and plan a proactive staff development program using such current trends as online tutorials, technical training, mentoring, and developing a customer service attitude."
