Succession Planning Through Mentoring in the Library

Succession Planning through Mentoring in the Library addresses the topic of mentoring within the library, providing an accounting of the benefit to libraries that use this tactic for planning and how it can cultivate more knowledge and confidence in employees.

Case studies from four different types of libraries with formal succession planning programs in place will be included. The book makes an analysis of the contributed case studies from other libraries regarding the use of mentoring in their succession planning programs, and then provides recommendations, best practices, and suggestions for implementing a succession planning program that includes mentoring.
