This standard text has been fully revised and updated for its
fourth edition to reflect continuing technological changes, as well
as issues such as social inclusion, lifelong learning and European
employment legislation. Chapter 1 on the working environment has
been completely rewritten. The present environment brings problems
of staff motivation, de-professionalization and the loss of
control: Chapter 2 reminds readers of basic motivation theories,
now presented in a more logical sequence, and how to deal with such
problems. Chapter 3 on workforce planning has been retitled Human
Resource Planning and revised to take into account the modes of
staffing appropriate for today's turbulent environment. Effective
human resource planning requires excellent selection and
recruitment procedures: best practice and developments in this area
are explored in Chapters 4, Job Descriptions and Person
Specifications, and 5, Recruitment and Selection of Staff. In
Chapter 6 on staff appraisal more attention has been given to
multi-rating approaches, such as 360A Degrees whereby different
aspects of work can be assessed by different groups of people, and
to appraisal of junior by senior staff. The last decade has seen
increased emphasis on training and development to deliver high
quality services in a climate of constant change. Chapter 7 has
therefore been reordered and expanded in order to reflect new
approaches and changes in this area. In Chapter 8, Staff
Supervision and Interpersonal Skills, recent emphasis on leadership
and counselling skills are reflected, as is the growing need to do
more with less through enhanced time management and stress
management techniques. With this new edition, this core guide
brings professionals involved in managing library and information
staff up to date with how to cope with the most pressing problems
and challenges in today's fast-changing environment.
