Title: Staff development for librarians
Product review: This is the only staff development book my library system has so I read it, even though it is not my area of interest. Even though the title does not say so, you might guess from looking at the author that the book is intended for staff development at libraries, and you would be correct. I'm interested in staff development in educational settings. However, I think that the book has useful information that can be applied outside the library, if it is used as a basic primer. The book includes all the steps you need to take to help develop your staff, what obstacles you might ecounter, and how to overcome them. If you already know about staff development from other books, this one may not provide you with new information. The book is thin both in size and the amount of detail it gives. Its better to use as a jumping off point. I gave it 4 stars as a book for librarians to use, as it seems to be intended for that audience, and 3 stars for anyone else who might read it.
