Dear All I am investigating different approaches to providing training and development opportunities for library assistants, both for skills training and for personal and career development. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has implemented a training programme for library assistants in an academic library, or who has ideas about how to support library assistants' career development. Many thanks, Janet ************************************************************************* Janet Westcott Assistant Librarian (Resource Planning & Management) The Open University Library Walton Hall Milton Keynes MK7 6AA Tel: 01908 659280 e-mail: [log in to unmask]
