RULE VIII
STAFF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Staff development is a purposive effort intended to strengthen the
library’s capability to fulfill its mission effectively and efficiently by encouraging
and providing for the growth of its human resources.

While training is understood as the process, by which an individual
learns new ways of information or techniques and changes from a state of
being incapable of doing the job or being ineffective.

Therefore, this issue encompasses all the means by which staffs are
empowered to do their jobs effectively and to prepare themselves to meet the
changing needs.

There will be a continuous career development program based on:

a. Systematic, regular means of identifying professional development
needs.

b. A personnel development planning process instituted and
encouraged by the University Librarian.

c. Coherent and coordinated initial and continuing professional
development (CDP) programs based merely on functions and roles.

d. Personal data portfolio, which record individual’s professional
development and training.

e. The availability of accredited qualification programs such as
seminars, forums, conferences, training and workshops for all
personnel related to the field of librarianship and information
science.
