Libraries are dealing with unprecedented
changes on several fronts: technological developments, funding difficulties,
and an increasing need to prove themselves to a demanding population. These factors understandably impact library
staffing. Looking toward the future,
what changes can we expect to see in how libraries are staffed, how staff are
trained and continue to learn, and how we will recruit and maintain staff.
The 2015 volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization will focus on the
future of library staffing. ALAO offers long-form research,
comprehensive discussions of theoretical developments, and in-depth accounts of
evidence-based practice in library administration and organization. The series aims to answer the questions, “How
have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?” It goes beyond a
platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue for dialogue across
issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean
new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of
scholarly solutions to professional quandaries.
