Mon, 26 October 2009 Join Julie Todaro, a consultant in management and public services issues for all types of libraries, as she discusses implementing a staff conduct policy in your library. Julie manages an academic library, has worked in public libraries and has her all level school library certification. She has a great deal of management experience and has conducted workshops for many organizations for the past 35 years, including for TSLAC's own Small Library Management Training Program for the past 20 years. Every cycle, in our basic management workshop, staff conduct policy discussions result in lots of questions from managers. In part one of this two-part podcast (look for part 2 to appear on this site in November 23rd), Julie discusses her famous LAMA article called, "Reasonable Expectation of Adult Behavior," introduces the concept of staff conduct policies and then talks about when a manager might consider one for their organization.
