Technology Competencies in Your Library
Originally presented April 29, 2009.
Does your staff have the technology skills they need to do their jobs? How do you know? One way that libraries are looking to answer these questions is by establishing technology competencies. Competencies help to define the skills needed for general or specific job duties. At WebJunction this month, we highlighted our new technology competencies and offered this free webinar to discuss how libraries are using competencies with staff. Learn from presenters Lori Reed from the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County (NC); Phyllis Winfield and Kim Gales, Worthington Libraries (OH); and Kris Rosenburg, St Johns County Public Library System (FL) as they share their strategies and experiences implementing competency programs.
