Description | Librarians, paraprofessionals, and student workers employed in the
curriculum materials center (CMC) require specialized skills to assist
preservice and in-service teachers and faculty. As technology continues
to drive changes in services, CMC staffing plays a vital role in delivering
new technology-driven services while maintaining traditional ones.
This chapter discusses the development of a CMC staff whose members
possess unique skills necessary to deliver services successfully based upon
the following factors: determining staffing needs, reviewing existing staffing
patterns, creating new job descriptions and competencies for future
services, developing a long-range staffing plan, hiring technology- and
team-driven staff, retaining staff, utilizing performance evaluation as an
effective staffing tool, and valuing the CMC staff. | en_US |
