This publication is a collection of library documents related to professional development which were received in response to a personnel policy survey of members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) in the spring of 1982. A concise summary of issues related to professional development in ARL libraries precedes the main body of the kit where 29 documents are presented. The documents are divided into four sections: (1) comprehensive library professional development policies from Brigham Young University, Harvard University, and University of Connecticut; (2) library personnel research and study policies from University of Virginia, University of New Mexico, Iowa State University, University of British Columbia, Ohio State University, McGill University, Emory University, Indiana University, and New York University; (3) library policies on consulting and outside employment from Dartmouth College, Yale University, University of Kansas, and McGill University; and (4) library travel policies from University of Kansas, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, Rutgers University, Yale University, University of California-Riverside, Texas A & M University, University of Colorado, University of Toronto, McGill University, Wayne State University, and University of Miami. An evaluation sheet for this ARL Systems and Procedures Exchange Center (SPEC) kit is provided. (ESR)
