This book offers a novel, more efficient, and mutually beneficial
approach to attracting, training, and working with short-term staff
in ways that benefit all involved: the organization, the short-term
staff, and library personnel in general. After recent cutbacks in
funding, many libraries now suffer permanent gaps in their
staffing—gaps that have necessarily been filled by temporary
staff and volunteers in order to complete essential work.
Unfortunately, short-term staffing presents its own issues. But
having temporary staff doesn't have to be problematic or
frustrating: this book shows how short-term workers can offer
libraries much more than just a solution to being shorthanded. This
book will help readers better plan and more efficiently manage
short-term staffing arrangements, covering how to best work with
community volunteers, students earning service or academic credit,
library school internships, grant contract staff, librarian
post-graduate residencies, and work-study student employees. The
authors present models of temporary staff human resource
development and demonstrate how to apply them effectively in
libraries of any size, describing how to train and enculturate
short-term staff into your organization to maximize productivity.
When temporary and long-term staff are set up to work together
properly, having temporary staff benefits the organization with
more than just their labor—the situation can refresh and update
the skills of incumbent employees, too.
