Librarians must now work at a different level from that required 20 years ago, but the training available is not always appropriate or accessible to all. The authors of this volume have responded to this significant and continuing change within the profession by offering a much-needed guide to best practice for staff training and development in library and information work. This handbook addresses new aspects of service provision both in the UK and abroad, and provides an up-to-date review of the current developments that are becoming increasingly important to librarians through the influence of the electronic age and the widening of areas of professional involvement. The Handbook of Library Training Practice and Development will be invaluable to those responsible for the development of staff and line managers as well as providing a crucial insight into the information profession for anyone new to this career path or looking to develop their knowledge within it.

This annual volume, conveniently organized by state, offers the most complete and current listings of the requirements for certification of a wide range of educational professionals at the elementary and secondary levels. Changes to requirements resulting from the federal No Child Left Behind Act, paired with state budget deficits and understaffed certification offices, have made it especially difficult to access this information. Now more than ever, Requirements for Certification is a valuable resource, making much-needed knowledge available in one straightforward volume.
