Investing In The Student Staff Development Process, Jeremy Mcginniss, Joshua B. Michael
Investing In The Student Staff Development Process, Jeremy Mcginniss, Joshua B. Michael
Library Faculty Publications
This paper argues for the need for librarians to invest in the student staff development process, particularly in the context of biblical higher education.

This paper narrates how a particular library worked through this process while providing principles from which libraries of varying sizes of collections and staff can benefit.

Improving Student Training Through Computer-Based Tutorials, Joshua B. Michael
Improving Student Training Through Computer-Based Tutorials, Joshua B. Michael
Library Faculty Publications
The use of computer-based training for student employees was explored through a recent project. Tutorials were designed and created using a free software program, Wink. The tutorials covered use of electronic resources and circulation programs and were used in training newly hired and continuing student employees. Written exercises requiring use of the information covered in the tutorials were administered subsequently. The advantages of computer-based training for aspects of student library employment were contrasted with its disadvantages. Computer-based training was found to be an effective part of training student employees.

The Biblical Basis Of Selection, Jeffery S. Gates
Library Faculty Publications
Selection is not only the first step if! libraria1lship, it is also the first application of the philosophy of librarianship. Before anything call be searched and accessed in a library, it must be selected by that library. But the process of selection requires a selection policy~- whether or not it is written. A written selection policy would help in sure consistency in the selection process, but whether it is written or 1I0t, one who selects resources for a library does follow some policy. And this policy is shaped by the selector's philosophy of librarianship.
