Subject: [NYLINE] WebJunction releases update of the Competency Index for the Library Field 2014
Crossposted - Please forgive any duplication
March 19, 2014
WebJunction has just completed an update of the Competency Index for the Library Field. This compilation of competency statements addresses a broad spectrum of library service and practice.
http://webjunction.org/documents/webjunction/Competency_Index_for_the_Library_Field.html
The original 2009 edition has been a valuable resource for libraries, helping staff identify and obtain the knowledge, skills and support needed to power relevant and vibrant libraries. However, it was time for an update. With ever-increasing economic, social, and educational demands, libraries have experienced dramatic changes in community needs and the tools available to serve those needs.
Three elements in particular have been emphasized throughout: 21st century skills, accountability, and community engagement.
WebJunction intends for the Index to be widely shared and adapted by a variety of libraries to meet their individual needs. Please feel free to download the PDF (3.3 MB) as a whole or the Word version for remixing as you see fit.
