Town Hall: Focus on Staff Training Archive   
Archive, slides, audio file and associated links for the January Tough Times Town Hall focused on Staff Training.

Training budgets are shrinking while patron traffic is increasing in these economic tough times. What new or improved skills do library staff need to meet the demand? How do we think innovatively about our learning strategies? This is an archive of your colleagues in a lively session of questions, brainstorms, stories, and practical strategies.
