Technology Core Competencies for CA Library Workers

The California Library Association has adopted a set of Technology Core Competencies for California Library Workers.  These competencies (including a section for all staff and an additional section for reference & instructional staff) were created by the CLA Information Technology Section and Continuing Education Committee.

The competencies are intended to serve as a base model for technology competencies for California Library workers in all sorts of libraries with all types of technology.  The intention is that libraries use these competencies as a starting point in assessing their staff's technology proficiencies and building their own sets of tailored competencies.  I think they will also be useful to libraries and library staff across the globe--not just in California.

Oh yes, and this was my project (as President of CLA's IT Section) :)
