This plan, designed for implementation in the Jackson and Josephine County library systems in Oregon, describes a cooperative method of staff development. The first section includes a brief discussion of the historical background to the training program, the service populations and staffing for the two counties, the continuing education resources of Southern Oregon, and management attitudes and policy. The second section outlines a comprehensive concept for staff development, broken down into goals and subgoals, general programs, departmental programs, individual program needs, and subject training programs. Each of the latter contains subsections, where appropriate, that describe the participants, objectives, suggested activities, and evaluation to be used. An appendix, the largest portion of the document, presents a glossary of terms, outlines a step-by-step systems approach to the design of such training programs, and includes a suggested program form and a program evaluation form.
