And Others Librarians Library Networks Library Personnel Library Surveys Needs Assessment Professional Continuing Education Public Libraries Questionnaires Staff Development This survey of library personnel had the following objectives: (1) to determine the best subject areas in which to provide continuing educational opportunities for staff members, (2) to determine the level of subject content for each subject area, (3) to identify an expected participant enrollment for each level of each subject, and (4) to identify the best length for educational offerings for each level. Of the 419 library workers targeted, 38 percent responded to the questionnaire; of these, 60 percent were professionals while 27 percent were support staff. Respondents identified interpersonal relations, public relations, supervisory skills, and reference as four of the most desirable subject areas for staff workshops.
