The Complete Guide to Performance Standards for Library Personnel

Offers both an approach to staff evaluation and actual performance standards for a variety of professional and paraprofessional library positions that can be used in any type of library. Chapter 1 explains what performance standards are and discusses legal issues and recent management trends, and Chapter 2 recommends a process for introducing standards and performance appraisal in a library. Chapters 3 and 4 provide real performance standards modeled on ones used successfully in libraries, focusing on improved service. An annotated bibliography describes helpful as well as not-so-helpful titles. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
