This book is essential for library association personnel, educational institutions, and management personnel in large library systems to aid in determining future trends in professional development opportunities for their staff.

Reviews & Statements

Provides a resource for a very important, but often overlooked, aspect of the library and information science profession: professional development. In a field that must maintain its relevance by moving with, or even ahead, of cultural and technological trends, the professional development of library and information professionals is an important investment by both the professionals and their supervisors. [...] An excellent resource for those interested in the future of professional development of library and information professionals.
