Peter Jordan and Caroline Lloyd are preparing the 4th edition of Staff Management in Library and Information Work to be published by Gower. An important feature of this well-known text has always been the inclusion of, and reference to, actual documents and practices in current use by libraries and information units. We therefore are asking for documents that describe and illustrate good practice in staff management For example: job descriptions, person specifications, policy documents and forms concerned with recruitment and selection, staff appraisal, staff training and development, staff supervision and interpersonal skills, staffing structures and plans for future. If you are able to contribute documentation please this to: Caroline Lloyd, Birkbeck College Library, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HX email: [log in to unmask] (phone and fax are given below). Ideally we would like to have received documents by the end of September. Many thanks Caroline Lloyd ************************************** Caroline Lloyd Reader Services Librarian Birkbeck College Malet Street London, WC1E 7HX tel: 020 7631 6369 fax: 020 7631 6066 email: [log in to unmask] http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/ ************************************** %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
