The State Library Consultant at Work
Author: Marie Ann Long
Publisher: Springfield : Illinois State Library
ISBN:
Category : Library consultants
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
In this study, state library consultants are described in terms of personal characteristics, educational preparation, and career attitudes. Specific objectives of this exploratory survey were (1) to provide information for guidelines on recruiting and training future consultants, (2) to refine techniques for studying the area, and (3) to discover areas for further research. Data was collected by questionnaires sent to individual consultants and state librarians. Major findings were--uniformly late decisions to come to consulting work, lack of special educational preparation, and performance of more administrative than consultative work with public libraries. This points to need for greater professional awareness of the importance of consulting generally. Suggestions to state agencies for meeting their recruiting and training problems involve higher salaries, definition of job responsibilities, improved specialized training, and professional publicity about these changes. The major implication for library schools is to develop post-master's programs that include the student's specialty, consulting techniques, and administrative and personnel theory. Further studies should examine consulting in other library fields, reasons for leaving consulting work, and consultant's performances and activities. Appendixes include the questionnaires, job satisfactions and dissatisfactions, helpful courses of study, and a bibliography of 41 items. (Jb).

Federal Aid and State Library Agencies
Author: David Shavit
Publisher: Praeger
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Shavit's book is an implementation analysis of the impact of federal aid on the organization and administration of state library agencies. He examines five state libraries in detail, supplemented by data from eight other states that have reported using federal funds for their libraries. Through the use of qualitative evaluation methods and unstructured interviews with the people involved, Shavit attempts to answer many of the questions surrounding his topic including implementation, the stimulus for institutional change, the extent of accomplishment with regard to legislatively mandated activities, how the agencies have been strengthened and improved, and the realistic expectations of the response to federal aid. Finally, he proposes recommendations for future policy regarding federal aid to public libraries and the role of state library agencies in relation to such aid.
