The essays report on early findings from pioneers who have worked to establish digital libraries, not merely as experimental projects, but as ongoing services and collections intended to be sustained over time in ways consistent with the long-held practices of print-based libraries. Particularly during this period of extreme technological transition, it is imperative that programs across the nation and indeed the world - actively share their innovations, experiences, and techniques in order to begin cultivating new standard practices. The collective sentiment of the field is that we must begin to transition from a punctuated, project-based mode of advancing innovative information services to an ongoing programmatic mode of sustaining digital libraries for the long haul.</p>Assessing an Academic Library Professional Development Program2016-05-02T16:23:12-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc826644/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc826644/"><img alt="Assessing an Academic Library Professional Development Program" title="Assessing an Academic Library Professional Development Program" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc826644/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>This presentation discusses assessment methods for UNT Libraries' professional development program.</p>Keeping it Fair: Using Rubrics in Hiring and Evaluations2014-05-07T00:22:01-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc284553/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc284553/"><img alt="Keeping it Fair: Using Rubrics in Hiring and Evaluations" title="Keeping it Fair: Using Rubrics in Hiring and Evaluations" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc284553/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Presentation for a webinar offered by the American Library Association (ALA) Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA).
