Developing Information and Library Staff Through Work-Based Learning

by Barbara Allan

Financial constraints often mean an organization's staff development budget is the first to go. At the same time, rapid change means library and information workers are required to constantly update either knowledge and skills. This practical book aims to provide the solution. With over 100 on-the-job solutions to the growing problem of maintaining a skilled workforce in the face of training budget cuts, it offers a source of ideas which should enable staff to expand their skill base. It describes resourceful, alternative approaches to staff development based on work-based learning methods, self-development and in-house resources.
