Core Competencies for Library Staff

Originally presented August 31, 2007 by Sarah Houghton-Jan , author of the recent ALA/Library Technology Report publication Technology Competencies and Training for Libraries and Karen Strege of the Western Council of State Libraries.

As the pace of change picks up speed, all of us who work in libraries feel the pressure of keeping up. In this one hour webinar, we explore competencies for library staff—how defining core competencies builds a foundation for identifying skills and knowledge gaps and leads to targeted training that will help keep libraries viable in the 21st century.
