Transfer of Training in Libraries.
Burgin, Robert; Smith, Duncan
Journal of Library Administration, v22 n1 p51-66 1995
To investigate whether library staff development activities produce lasting changes in behavior, a questionnaire was given to 277 North Carolina library personnel. Findings differed by type of workshop, professional status, number of years at present position, and library size and type, but they suggest that transfer of training could improve with more frequent training. Survey questions are included. Contains 21 references. (BEW)
