Ensuring that Training Pays Off

Ensuring that Training Pays Off Libraries devote considerable money to providing continuing education and staff development, but initial research suggests that there is little pay off to continuing education efforts, that less than half of all training transfers to the work place. While a wide range of activities may be used to promote the transfer of training to the job, evidence shows that librarians do not often engage in such activities. Ways of strengthening support for transfer of training in libraries and thereby enhancing the performance of the library's personnel are suggested. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Bottom Line: Managing Library Finances Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Libraries devote considerable money to providing continuing education and staff development, but initial research suggests that there is little pay off to continuing education efforts, that less than half of all training transfers to the work place. While a wide range of activities may be used to promote the transfer of training to the job, evidence shows that librarians do not often engage in such activities. Ways of strengthening support for transfer of training in libraries and thereby enhancing the performance of the library's personnel are suggested.
