Hi,
I suspect that none of us (or our institutions) can afford this
report, but thought that this summary and the data points they provide
might be of interest.

Subject: The Survey of Library Employee Training Practices
This 100+page report looks closely at how public, academic and special
libraries train their employees. It gives detailed data on spending on
training, and on how libraries prioritize spending on training. The
report helps to answer questions such as: how many libraries and what
type of libraries have specific training budgets and training
directors? Do they conduct internal courses? Send employees to
external courses? Use library science schools? Do they reimburse
employees for library science courses taken at universities? How much
do they spend on internal courses, external courses or library science
schools? Who oversees training? Which areas receive the most training
support? Technical services? Information technology? Digitization?
Circulation? Management? To what extent does the library use training
services such as LibraryU, Merlot or Webjunction, among others? Of
whom is training required?
Just a few of the many findings from this report are:
-42.86 percent of public libraries in the sample hire external
instructors to teach courses in-house, as opposed to just 19.05
percent of academic libraries
-Libraries in the sample spent a mean of $4,631.88 in the last year to
send employees out to external training courses
-82.93 percent of all libraries surveyed issue formal appraisal forms
to be filled out by supervisors assessing the employees they supervise
-72.73 percent of libraries with more than 100 FTE employees have
instituted a Learning 2.0 program or similar program to encourage
employees to learn about new web technologies, well above the overall
sample average of 39.02 percent
-Libraries in the sample spent a mean of $637.97 in the last year on
internet-based training courses

I suspect that none of us (or our institutions) can afford this
report, but thought that this summary and the data points they provide
might be of interest.

Subject: The Survey of Library Employee Training Practices
This 100+page report looks closely at how public, academic and special
libraries train their employees. It gives detailed data on spending on
training, and on how libraries prioritize spending on training. The
report helps to answer questions such as: how many libraries and what
type of libraries have specific training budgets and training
directors? Do they conduct internal courses? Send employees to
external courses? Use library science schools? Do they reimburse
employees for library science courses taken at universities? How much
do they spend on internal courses, external courses or library science
schools? Who oversees training? Which areas receive the most training
support? Technical services? Information technology? Digitization?
Circulation? Management? To what extent does the library use training
services such as LibraryU, Merlot or Webjunction, among others? Of
whom is training required?
Just a few of the many findings from this report are:
-42.86 percent of public libraries in the sample hire external
instructors to teach courses in-house, as opposed to just 19.05
percent of academic libraries
-Libraries in the sample spent a mean of $4,631.88 in the last year to
send employees out to external training courses
-82.93 percent of all libraries surveyed issue formal appraisal forms
to be filled out by supervisors assessing the employees they supervise
-72.73 percent of libraries with more than 100 FTE employees have
instituted a Learning 2.0 program or similar program to encourage
employees to learn about new web technologies, well above the overall
sample average of 39.02 percent
-Libraries in the sample spent a mean of $637.97 in the last year on
internet-based training courses
