LEADS from LLAMA

This webinar will introduce the Staff Competencies Training Matrix, an innovative online tool that helps you access established library competencies and associated training resources. This tool provides a dynamic interface that allows for library-wide participation, transparency of job duties, and a framework for creating a need-based and outcome oriented training program. You will find it useful for recruiting managers, trainers, supervisors, and employees wanting to advance or set goals. Participants will be challenged to consider using these competencies within their own libraries.

By the end of this webinar, participants will:

• Gain a basic understanding of the current use of competencies in academic libraries.
• Consider the application of this online tool that links competencies with learning opportunities and creates a tangible way of connecting otherwise cumbersome and non-user friendly competencies to users in their institution.
• Understand how this open-source application can be easily implemented by IT professionals, and how administrators manage content.
