Dear All I am looking for information about appropriate staffing numbers and models for staffing, preferably in an NHS Library service covering multiple sites, but I would take any info you have. If you have a spare 10 minutes can you answer the following questions? All information will be treated confidentially, however I will, of course, summarise for the LIS. About your organisation What size population does your organisation cover? What type of care does your organisation provide (Acute, Primary, etc) How many hospitals are in your organisation? What number of Staff (Full time equivalent) are employed by your organisation? About your Library Service How many libraries are in your organisation? How many of them are staffed? For those that are staffed what are your opening hours? How many staff are in your library service, please can you state whether they are f/t or p/t and if poss. their grade or position (a staffing chart would be great). What is your staffing model, i.e. is your service centralised or dispersed, do staff have multiple roles, is there a divide between subject specialism and library management or do staff do both. What services do you provide (e.g. Literature searching, I.S. training, ILL etc.) And finally, if you have written a business case for staff, or have done an exercise on the required staffing levels for a hospital library, or know of any research on staffing models please can you let me know.
