contents A Handbook and Orientation Procedure: Weber County Library, Ogden, Utah. Wangsgard, Lynnda Administrative Policy County Libraries Data Analysis Employees Labor Relations Librarians Library Instruction Library Policy Library Research Orientation Materials Staff members of the Weber County Library System in Utah were studied in a research project to determine the effect on staff knowledge of library policies and procedures of (1) an employee handbook and (2) the handbook supplemented by a formal orientation procedure. Data were obtained from three randomly selected groups of library staff members in a pre-test, post-test situation. After administration of the pre-test, one group received the staff handbook, one received the handbook and an orientation, and the control group was given neither the handbook nor the orientation. The post-test was administered two months later. Analysis of covariance revealed a significant difference in the gain scores of all groups. The data suggested that a handbook used in conjunction with a formal orientation session was significantly better than the use of the handbook alone. The questionnaire and handbook are appended.
