The Dal Libraries have formed a new working group based on a recommendation from the external review that was conducted in the winter of 2016.

This new working group has representation from a wide spectrum of Dal Libraries staff and their tasks will be to:

• broadly survey staff needs,
• identify a short set of annual training and development priorities with close links to our mission,
• support a combination of technical skills training,
• and support broad-based development opportunities.

Whenever possible, they will leverage campus resources to accomplish these tasks.

Thank you to all the staff who are taking on this challenge, and to Sandy Dwyer, for setting up the group and leading on these important initiatives. Their first meeting will be in January.
