I WANNABE: THE FRAMEWORK FOR CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Describes and discusses the origins, principles and possible best practices of the Framework for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) – introduced by the Library Association for those working in Library and Information Services (LIS). The changed career of the librarian – from scholar to information specialist – has raised expectations from staff and users alike. CPD is concerned with systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills. Offering the “Framework” as a scheme, which can grow and develop, may enable the development of both personal and institutional futures.
