Nonprofessional library support staff traditionally hold what are considered to be low-paying, nonchallenging positions. These negative factors make retaining creative and productive employees difficult. This article outlines the approach taken at the Medical College of Georgia's Robert B. Greenblatt, M.D. Library to devise a structure of library staff positions that becomes progressively more demanding. A new nine-level Library Staff Classification Plan resulted. This plan also enables and encourages employees to acquire more skills and to accept more responsibility in order to qualify for higher-level library positions or to advance their present position to receive comparable rewards. The plan expresses the level of responsibilities expected, the employee qualifications desired, and lists representative duties across the spectrum of typical library tasks.
传统上,非专业图书馆支持人员从事的是被认为低薪且缺乏挑战性的工作。这些不利因素使得留住有创造力和高效率的员工变得困难。本文概述了佐治亚医学院罗伯特·B·格林布拉特医学图书馆所采取的方法,即设计一种要求逐步提高的图书馆工作人员职位结构。由此产生了一个新的九级图书馆工作人员分类计划。该计划还使员工能够并鼓励他们获取更多技能,承担更多责任,以便有资格担任更高层级的图书馆职位,或者提升其现有职位以获得相应的回报。该计划明确了预期的责任水平、所需的员工资质,并列出了各类典型图书馆工作的代表性职责。
