<P>After recent cutbacks in funding, many libraries now suffer permanent gaps in their staffing-gaps that have necessarily been filled by temporary staff and volunteers in order to complete essential work. Unfortunately, short-term staffing presents its own issues. But having temporary staff doesn't have to be problematic or frustrating: this book shows how short-term workers can offer libraries much more than just a solution to being shorthanded. This book will help readers better plan and more efficiently manage short-term staffing arrangements, covering how to best work with community volunteers, students earning service or academic credit, library school internships, grant contract staff, librarian post-graduate residencies, and work-study student employees. It presents models of temporary staff human resource development, how to apply them effectively in libraries of any size, and how to train and enculturate short-term staff into your organization to maximize productivity.</P>
