Abstract
Description
This essay presents the major findings from a survey about
human resource management in public libraries. The survey
was conducted in October 2016 via the Internet. The participants
were librarians with human resource management
experience employed by public libraries in the United States.
The majority of the participants responded that human
resource management was challenging to some degree.
While a majority were able to solve their human resource
problems successfully, a majority of the respondents believed
that the human resource curriculum for library science programs
was inadequate.
