"These competencies were developed in 1981, revised in 1998, and again in 2003 to include principles of positive youth development as they promote developmentally significant assets through excellent library service. Directors and trainers use them as a basis for staff development opportunities. They can also be used by school administrators and human resources directors to create evaluation instruments, determine staffing needs, and develop job descriptions."
