Academic Libraries Foreign Countries Higher Education Inservice Education Librarians Library Administration Library Education Library Planning Personnel Policy Position Papers Professional Continuing Education Professional Development Research Libraries Sabbatical Leaves Staff Development Travel This publication includes documents from Association of Research Libraries (ARL) member libraries in the United States and Canada related to professional development activities that emphasize personal and professional growth of individuals rather than job skills. A concise summary of issues related to professional development in ARL libraries precedes the main body of the kit where 28 documents are presented. The documents are divided into three sections: (1) professional development/education (Harvard University, Stanford University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Ohio State University, Washington University, Boston University, and New York Public Library); (2) research, study, and consultation leave (Columbia University, University of Toronto, University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, Syracuse University, Northwestern University, Harvard University, Purdue University, and University of Wisconsin); and (3) travel policies (Washington University, University of Alberta, University of Colorado, University of Massachusetts, University of Missouri, New York University, Purdue University, Stanford University, Texas A&M University, and University of Kentucky).
