Publisher's Synopsis
In a climate of rapid change, human resource management is becoming a key area of concern to university and college managers, clearly demonstrated by the Fielden Report's contention that to be effective every library must have a fully organized staff development policy. This collection addresses the issues in an academic library context. With contributions from practitioners, it reviews current practice and discusses likely future developments in areas such as continuing professional development, staff appraisal and development and the quality and learning framework.
