Stanford University Libraries Redesign Report
Human Resources Implications
While the Team realizes that it is during the
Implementation phase that specific details will
be addressed, it advocates that staff currently
doing the work be closely involved with
restructuring how that work is done. Staff in all
divisions have continually displayed remarkable
abilities to devise new tactics to meet shared
goals, even in uncertain circumstances.
It is clear that most jobs in current
Technical Services will be changed to meet the
needs of the redesigned environment. In parallel,
the scope of responsibilities for positions in
service units as well as in collections will be
affected. SUL managers and Human Resources staff
are committed to helping staff deal with the
changes, as they affect particular jobs and
individuals.
Managers are and will continue to be proactive
in managing attrition and advising staff on
opportunities throughout the system and beyond.
SUL/AIR Human Resources is setting up a Skills
Inventory database for both training targets and
job reassignment possibilities. The Staff
Reallocation Task Force is preparing printed
information and will hold meetings to clarify
options available in the changing SUL and
University environment.
A newly designed operation for
acquisition-to-access with its staffing and space
implications inevitably will affect the needs for
the structure, administration, and management of
the Technical Services division. As the
particulars of the redesigned processes are
implemented, the organization's requirements for
managers will become clearer and should be
addressed in the context of the redesigned
environment.
