  2. Job Analysis • Albitz (2002) finds that 81 percent of electronic resource librarians hired have three or less years of experience. • Feret and Marcinek (1999) find that librarians need skills technology to both manage and deliver information to its end users. • Markey et al (2005) find that librarians want to be team leaders of a technology group in the development of multimedia that provides instruction on library resources.

  3. Recruitment • Anthony and Garbs (2005) finds that the difficulty in finding qualified library catalogers is increasing for academic libraries • Dewey and Keally (2008) study provides techniques to recruit librarians for the 21st century workplace. The authors used an in-depth case study of the University of Tennessee Diversity Libraries Residency Program along with programs from the Association for Research Libraries, the American Library Association, OCLC and IFLA. • Raschke (2003) finds that academic libraries need to migrate away from using the Traditional Risk-Averse Model and utilize the Innovative Risk-Accepting Model when recruiting and hiring librarians.

  4. Selection • Wheeler, Johnson and Manion (2008) created a checklist of strategies to improve law librarian hiring • Howze (2008) finds that search committees are not significantly influenced by how a resume/cover letter looks (form) over the qualifications that an individual possesses for an entry-level tenure track position in librarianship (substance). • Lehner (1997) finds that the selection methods of academic libraries could be improved by utilizing some concepts used in human resource management and psychology literature on the selection of personnel.
