In a recent press release, WebJunction, an online social network learning community for librarians and library staff, has released Library Management Competencies, a guide to courses and resources to help current and aspiring library managers be more successful in their work. Competencies are grouped around the following sub-categories:
* Budget & Funding
* Community Relations
* Facilities
* Laws, Policies & Procedures
* Marketing
* Organisational Leadership
* Personnel Management
* Project Management
* Staff Training & Development
* Strategic Planning
* Trustees and Friends
I can't comment on the quality of the courses but it may be useful to know that many are self-paced - you have a year in which to complete them - and each costs around US$40 (just over AU$60).
