Abstract

Old Dominion University Library staff recently implemented a self-directed staff training program after a succesful six month pilot project by two units in the Library. Influenced by similiar programs at other libraries, the plan is voluntary and collaborative. Its primary objectives are to assist employees with developing the skill sets necessary to meet 21st century library challenges.
