Title: Human Resources For Results
Author: Jeanne Goodrich and Paula M. Singer

Summary:
If the saying “you’re only as good as the people you manage” is true, we need to make sure we’re hiring the best people possible to provide the best service possible to library users. But what if you’re new to a management position, new to an institution, or have just had some bad luck in the past? This book, as part of the “For Results” series, lays out a number of best practices to guide you through developing a top notch library staff. Topics covered include: job descriptions, interviews, testing of applicants, staff position realignments, and many other human resources issues.

As always, this book is available for lending through Interlibrary Loan from the SLS office.
