- The development of new 'competences'
in library workers at all levels, in order to respond to the
vast technological changes which are now taking place on academic
campuses, is a challenge facing all library and information managers.
Here is a thoroughgoing review of the new skills needed by library
staffs, relating to teaching and learning systems, new technology
and information systems, and evolving approaches to customer
service.
-
- Written by a group of highly experienced professionals in
response to the Fielden Report on Human Resource Management in
Academic Libraries (submitted to the UK Joint Funding Councils'
Libraries Review Group), these papers provide a valuable analysis
of both the opportunities and problems inherent in staff selection
and recruitment, appraisal schemes, training and staff development,
job grading and conditions of service, pay and other rewards,
and the application of specific techniques such as teamworking.
These are vital readings for all managers seeking to get the
most out of their staffs in the face of declining, or at best
static, resources.
