Neal Schuman Directory of Public Library Job Descriptions

Whether you're fully staffed or growing, this comprehensive and authoritative handbook is the time-saving tool you need to build successful staffs for the future. Rebecca Brumley, author of the highly-praised Public Library Manager's Forms, Policies, and Procedures Handbook, returns with this new guide to public library job descriptions - featuring more than 150 job titles that address the full scope of public library functions. Culled from libraries across North America, each job description is reproduced in its entirety, including: General summary; Functions and responsibilities; Knowledge and education; Skills and abilities; Experience and training, and Licensing requirements. Each section of the book includes an overview of the job title, important considerations, and essential elements for inclusion. Brumley covers the basics of composing job descriptions, including EEOC considerations, fact gathering, defining supervision, drafting job summaries, re-evaluating descriptions, and more. The companion CD-ROM reproduces all of the entries allowing easy modification to libraries' specific needs.
